A study in creative writing.

Join us in writing texts in several literary genres such as:

You get feedback on the texts from your fellow students, but also from your teachers who are established authors.
Through larger projects and small exercises, you practice using different tools and build up a "toolbox" that is helpful when you write.
We work with storytelling, character building, environmental depictions, and will teach you the tricks you need to get better at writing.

We get visits from authors, visit book publishers and we go on a trip with the class to Paris.
You will gain insight into what is required to write a book, and what it takes to get it published.
You get to publish a book together with the other students in your class.
In the book you publish, the students are both authors, editors, marketers, and have all other roles and functions related to a book publication.
Many of our students have gone on to higher writing educations, and they say they wouldn't have managed it if it wasn't for the year at Danvik.

Welcome to the first writing year of the rest of your writing life!

Danvik Folkehøgskole is an excellent example of how the Nordic folkehøgskole tradition helps young people get ready for the future.

In addition to promoting important life skills and Christian values, our Norwegian boarding school has built a solid reputation by giving students a foot inside the door of an increasingly competitive media industry.

The education at Danvik is divided between programme subjects, common subjects, elective subjects, workshops and practice.
Students will spend roughly half the year producing bigger projects like short movies, shows and documentaries for TV and radio, video games, plays, anthologies or photo exhibitions, all depending on which of the seven programmes they have chosen.

In the common subjects, they will encounter interdisciplinary themes like media ethics, history and advertising. As a bonus, students get the chance to learn from the best in the business on trips to Hollywood, Paris and Berlin. We also cooperate with a school in India.
