Everyday life on the course


During the year you will have the opportunity to strengthen your body, challenge your mind and your worldview. You will learn to make choices that can affect your lifestyle and make a difference for your fellow human beings.
Together we will discover, explore and develop ourselves as individuals and as citizens of the world. We will also become good "life hackers". All hackers need tools and knowledge. Through mindfulness techniques such as meditation, tapping, tai chi and yoga, you will gain tools that can make you better equipped to handle stress and challenges in life. We will also use the beautiful nature of Bergen for relaxation and physical exercise.

You will also increase your understanding of economics and how to use resources in a good, sustainable way. The goal is to become more independent. How can you use your resources to get what you want most? How can you stretch your money and be better equipped for student life? The class will focus on reuse, redesign, and how to make healthy, locally sourced food from scratch.

We are visited by Helene Danielsen, who runs the yoga center "Time for yoga" and entrepreneur and leader of the organization "World Saving Hustle" Martin Skadal, who will talk about how to start your own business.

You will also have the opportunity to plan and arrange fun events and happenings for both the school's students and the local community.

Welcome to Bergen and welcome to Åsane folkehøgskole!

We are looking forward to embarking on a new school year and hope that you would like to join us and share new experiences with us. We are a playful and social bunch of staff who want to get you on a unique school year. Here lies the opportunity for personal and professional development, new good friendships, food experiences and lots of laughter and fun.

During the school year you will have the opportunity to get to know Bergen, the city's unique charm, architecture and history, the cultural offerings and the academic communities. You can get to Bergen in 25 minutes and here you can go to the cinema, to the ADO arena, go shopping or enjoy the atmosphere at one of the many cafés. 

On your course, you get to work on subjects and topics that you are interested in, and together with your classmates you get a great trip to a relevant and exciting destination. Maybe you also want to come with us to Nepal and be enthrilled by the culture, people and landscape there?

You live, sleep and eat at the folk high school. 

We believe that living with your fellow students, creates an outstanding learning environment. By sharing accommodations with people who are different from you, you learn to work together and handle problems.

School life is a mix of teaching, good meals, joint activities, leisure time and boarding school life. The great thing about folk high school life is that you always have access to your fellow students. A year at Åsane folk high school can be the best year of your life.

Åsane folkehøgskole does not have any courses especially for english speaking students. Still, english speaking students are welcome to apply, as long as they have a basic understanding of Norwegian language, and also are motivated to learn Norwegian by their own efforts during the school year.
