Off-grid house
At the school, we are extremely happy with our two straw houses, which we have built ourselves. One is a self-sufficient “off grid” house, and together they provide an inspiring physical setting for indoor teaching. Right outside the door is the school’s burgeoning demonstration forest garden, kitchen garden and herb garden.
The school is beautifully situated close to both forest and beach.
We start from nature as a learning space and will go on several inspiring trips out into the countryside with a focus on e.g. understanding of nature, gathering, knowledge of plants and immersion in nature.
The subject also includes excursions where we see examples of different forms of cultivation.
Your impact on the subject
In our community of practice, you can make a lasting impression by further developing the school’s existing gardens and creating new green oases yourself. We use various tools to design self-sustaining cultivation systems both on a small and large scale. From self-sufficiency in a studio apartment to the regenerative forest agriculture that points to the food production of the future.
