This is our programme for explorer spirits who desire a meaningful, active, creative year. It combines travelling and sea kayaking, ocean clean-up, and craftsmanship in breathtaking nature.

Join in on a magical journey through the natural and cultural world of islands. With H2Ø you experience fantastic sea landscapes on foot or by sea kayak. Awaken the artist within you! Explore natural materials and plastic as creative resources. Dive into exciting projects for a green island life all around the world!

The program's three subjects go hand in hand and make for an exciting year that challenges you both physically and mentally. There is great variation in activities, and the course will be planned in collaboration between teacher and pupils.

SEA KAYAK: Practice outdoor life on nature's terms by leaving no trace and cleaning the ocean along the way. Discover hidden beaches by sea kayak, sleep under the stars and experience northern lights in the middle of the Norwegian sea. Get to know yourself amidst porpoises, whales, and sea eagles, or on the hunt for the next wave.

CRAFTINGFind your creative voice! We will have periods focusing on crafting where you can discover and play with varied materials to create useful objects and works of art.

ISLAND LIFE: Get to know projects and actions within the scope of nature conservation, sustainable use of resources and ecotourism. Here, the focus lies on contributing to specific projects and finding out what is needed for them to succeed.

The school is a so-called liberal folk high school, which means we do not base our values on a particular faith or belief, but on equality and respect for the individual’s integrity. Until our brand new campus is built, we hire a huge houseboat / floating hotel as our base. The floating hotel will contain everything you need; classroom, cafeteria, kitchen, doubleroom (you share room with a roommate), office for the employees and living rooms.

Our courses from August 2023 are listed below:

  • Coastal outdoorlife (FriHAVsliv): Do you want to spend a major part of the year in a kayak? Are you dreaming of freediving for scallops? Or maybe catch the biggest fish in the Norwegian sea? Then you have come to the right place!

  • H2Ø - seascapes, crafting, island life (H2Ø - hav, håndverk og øyliv): Join in on a magical journey through the natural and cultural world of islands. With H2Ø you experience fantastic sea landscapes on foot or by sea kayak. 

  • Fisheries and Aquaculture (fiske og havbruk): Are you interested in boating, fishing and modern aquaculture? At Fiske & Havbruk you gain practical insights and experience today's coastal life in the middle of the Norwegian ocean!

  • Leadership development - for those of you who already took a year in a folk high school.

All teaching is in Norwegian. For those of you who do not speak english, we give you the opportunity to learn Norwegian throughout the year.
