Danish

+

“Rød grød med fløde” See, that’s not as easy to say for everybody! And that’s why you have the possibility to take a crash course in the Danish language and culture so that you, hopefully, understand what’s being said when you hunt for snacks in Brugsen, wait in line in the dining hall, or maybe even catches what the teacher is translating for your Danish friends during class.

Math

+

8 ÷ 2(2+2) = ? Is the result for the calculation 1 or 16, and do you add, multiply, divide or calculate fractions first? If you feel like many other people and see mathematics as another language, and you can't quite remember the basic rules in math, don't fear. In Mathematics we all start from scratch and there are no stupid questions. We learn mathematics together through a more practical understanding, where we help each other through play and games. So if you want to get ready for higher education, or just need to give back the right tips, then math is definitely something for you.

Dear Diary

+

“Dear diary …” I’m sure you have written that sentence before! But do you still remember to do it? Take a break in your head by emptying it for all your worries, thoughts, and save all the fantastic experiences from the højskole by writing it down? We are going to write our own journals and learn from the very best that has done the same before us, all the way from Anne Frank to Bridget Jones!

Cool to be kind

+

We have to plan various activities for people in the local area, as well as carry them out. Maybe we have to play with children in a kindergarten, or play bingo in a care home.The joy of pleasing other people plays the prominent role, so if you think it's "cool to be kind" - then join in on this class.

Writer's workshop

+

Are you a bookworm? Do you enjoy writing yourself or would you just like to become better at playing with the language, and at the same time become better at grammar, then this subject is a good opportunity for that. We need to find your little author and try out different approaches to authorship in collaboration with a real author. Together we will explore and play with the language and take it seriously. It is said that a picture says more than 1000 words, we should definitely prove that's not the case.

Writing Lyrics is for you, who want to learn how to write your own poems or song lyrics. We play with words and rhymes and learn how to find inspiration and “spice up” our lyrics, so the audience gets drawn in. It is possible to work with the students from Writing Music to co-write finished songs.

Role-playing games

+

Role-playing games are a platform where you can test your own limits, explore crazy ideas and immerse yourself deeply into the story we create together. Maybe you've heard of Dungeons and Dragons or tabletop role-playing games. Have you ever had a fantasy of being someone else? perhaps a mighty warrior, seductive musician, clever burglar, or an ancient sorcerer. With our own characters, we explore exciting adventure worlds, abandoned ruins and strange ideas together. If this sounds exciting, then role-playing games are for you. With a combination of role-playing and dice games, we embark on an exciting adventure where our own imagination is the limit.
