Since the establishment of the first Danish folk high school 175 years ago, the folk high school movement has been a leading educational and cultural institution in Denmark. Based on the purpose: to provide life enlightenment, people’s enlightenment and democratic education, the folk high schools aim at an education that enables the individual not just to make a living, but to live meaningful lives. Today this also means to live your life in coexistence with nature.
With this project, The Association of Folk High Schools in Denmark (FFD) wishes to strengthen and develop the folk high schools' contribution to the sustainable transition of societies. Climate challenges are transnational and must be solved by global cooperation.
To sum up the goal of the project:
By strengthening our pedagogical praxis, our global connections and the involved people’s engagement we wish to invigorate our role in the sustainable transition of societies.
