Writer's workshop is the course for you who want to develop your sense of language, find your way into the text and see tangible results of the writing process.

At the writer's workshop we work with creative writing - from idea to text. Our aim is to inspire and guide you to write your own texts and bring out your distinctive writing voice.

Keywords for the school year:

The school year is divided into genre periods. We concentrate on skills and techniques that are particularly relevant within the current genre. Each period ends with the writing of genre texts, which are the raw material for thorough feeback from teachers and fellow students. Becoming a good reader of your own and other people's texts is an important goal for students at the course, and for everyone who want to write well. Each school year the students publish 2 books. An "open book" where the students develop the concept as an editor, and the final anthology containing the student's best texts throught the year.

 

Cooperation

The writer's workshop collaborates a lot with the other courses at the school. You get an uniqe opportunity to see your own characters on a stage, hear your own texts performed to music or see your own stories illustrated by artists. 

This course is only avaliable in norwegian.

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.
