Life at Brenderup Højskole
Experience the Danish hygge
It is our believe that a Folk High school is something that takes place all the time, and everyone at the school, both the students and the staff, gets involved in it.
A day on the Folk High school
At Brenderup Højskole, community is the focus and therefore we are together both during lessons, at meals and in our free time.
Our workshops are open all evening and at weekends, and many students spend a large part of their free time here.
We believe that through morning assemblies, joint subjects, lectures and debates, people are formed and precisely for this reason, these joint subjects are also prioritized throughout a semester at the school.
It is the students who are largely involved in the planning and execution of the many good ideas that often arise. It could, for example be winter bathing, parties, movie nights, sauna and bonfire evenings, runs to the water.
We are a sustainable folk high school, and that is also reflected in the way we get around.
When we go on trips, we are happy to hop on our bikes, walk, or hitchhike when it makes sense. It is better for the climate, but also part of the experience.
Parties
Parties are held both by the school and by the students themselves. When the school throws a party, it takes place in the dining hall or under the beech in the garden.
If the students have a party, it is usually in the Party room or in the Gym.
The meals are an important part of the community
It is important for us to create a calm and respect around the meals. Therefore, the food is presented, and we enjoy it together in the dining room.
Here, the digital world through our phones is not welcome.
Enjoy the world with ‘Brendere’
We love to travel and be inspired by the culture of other countries and take the experiences home to Brenderup. During long stays at Brenderup Højskole, you can choose to join one of the school’s two study tours.
