Silkeborg Højskole is a Danish folk high school with a global outlook. We value the unique energy that emerges when young people from Denmark and other nationalities come together. This environment fosters a vibrant exchange of ideas and perspectives, creating a learning space that goes beyond traditional education. We believe that these interactions empower young people to grow personally and inspire them to become more open-minded and globally conscious individuals.
