The Folkehøjskole Option Is Right For You If You Are Willing To: Folk high school. Christian Folk High School of Jämsä in Finland. Folk high schools (Danish: Folkehøjskole; Finnish: kansanopisto and työväenopisto or kansalaisopisto; German: Volkshochschule and (uncommon) Heimvolkshochschule; Norwegian: Folkehøgskole; Swedish: Folkhögskola) are institutions for adult education that generally do not grant academic degrees, though certain courses might exist leading to that goal. They are most commonly found in Nordic countries and in Germany and Austria. The concept originally came from the Danish writer, poet, philosopher and pastor N. F. S. Despite similar names and somewhat similar goals, the institutions are quite different in Germany and Sweden as opposed to the traditions in Denmark and Norway.
Other countries have been inspired by Grundtvig's concept of popular education. History[edit] The first folk high school was established in 1844 in Rødding, Denmark. Another pioneer for the folk high school was the teacher Christen Kold. Features[edit] Denmark[edit] [Éducation et devenir] Skhole.fr | | penser et repenser l'école. RIRE. Chronique Éducation.
