Fancy spending a year training, developing life hacks, and doing something meaningful for others? Have you dreamt to take some time off and focus on what it is to be, on exploring yourself and your relations with others?

In one word, in Empower! you will follow a varied and integral schedule with the objective to empower your physical, psychological, and social well-being. Through training, volunteering, and the application of psychological insights in everyday life, we build and construct, together, the most important tool of our lives: ourselves.


Who is this class suitable for?

Empower! is the class for you who wishes and yearns to be inspired, to acquire knowledge and practical tools to shape and establish better everyday practices and habits, in good relation to yourself and others.

You will learn about:

 

A perfect environment in which to deepen your knowledge about Norwegian language, Norwegian culture, intercultural understanding – and yourself. 

As an international student, you must choose between two options: 

Option 1:
Norwegian Language and Culture is your main course during the whole schoolyear. 

We strive to give every student challenges on their level, based on their background and goals. A variety og teaching methods are used, and the teacher encourages you to build awareness on what are your best ways to learn and develop. We visit cultural sites, museums, organizations etc. to gain a wider insight into Norway`s history and current society and way of life. 

Option 2: 
Your main course is based on your field of interest (music, art, sports, creative subjects). In this course you will study together with Norwegan peers - in Norwegian. As a complimentary subject you choose Norwegian language classes. This combination is the best way to get you from a beginners level fast as spending time on an activity you love and doing so among native speakers makes learning the language fun and easy.

You are invited to attend a study trip abroad with your choosen linje or choose to attend our free alternative: OSLOVE. As our school is the only folkehøgskole situated in Oslo you have a unique chance to explore the capital city of Norway and all the opportunities this city can offer.

The whole school will also go on exciting trips during the year; we will explore wonderful Nordmarka, go skiing in Hallingdal and stay at Strandheim campsite by the Oslofjord.
