Folk high schools

Folk high schools are educational institutions primarily found in Nordic countries, established to promote lifelong learning outside the traditional school system. They cater to adults and young people and focus on personal development, culture, and community engagement. These schools offer a range of courses, often emphasizing practical skills, arts, social issues, and languages, fostering a supportive environment for self-improvement. While they do not typically lead to formal qualifications, their goal is to empower individuals through education, enhance civic participation, and encourage social responsibility.
