Learning for life
The curriculum is important, but Elverum Folk High School is much more than just the curriculum. You also have electives in the afternoons and evenings, study trips with overnight stays, Saturday classes, and there is a lot of social happening – both planned and spontaneous.
All of these moments, encounters, and experiences provide valuable learning that will build and develop your skills, personality, and competencies for the rest of your life.
No matter what you're going to do after folk high school, it'll be better when you have a little more experience. Know yourself a little better. Have a slightly larger network and have challenged yourself.
Study trips with the art line
Lofoten
Copenhagen
On the pre-Christmas trip to Copenhagen we experience the contrast from the Sanctuary of Christiania to The Little Mermaid, while at the same time studying masterpieces at the Norwegian Museum of Art. We get into the Christmas spirit in the magnificent surroundings of the Royal Danish Theatre's Gamle Stage where we watch "The Nutcracker" and end the trip with an evening at the fairground.
Berlin and Venice
Berlin is a vibrant city with strong contrasts, from the historical to modern and the easy to the challenging. Artists from all over the world come here to let themselves be inspire.
We visit an art studio where you get draw act with a professional model, and we experience architecture, history, local street art and vintage shops. In addition, we see a spectacular show at Friedrichsstadt, the world's largest theater stage and join us jazz concert at the club B-Flat.
Venice is the city of beauty, magnificent architecture, canals and history. We go off the tourist trail with a local art guide who tells us about Venice's hidden treasures, peppered with fun facts.
You will attend a workshop where you making watercolor paint from powder and paint a Venice motif with these. We take the boat out to the colorful and charming the island of Burano, and maybe it's warm enough to swim?
