About the Course
A weekly joint lesson for the entire school.
It's about creating a space for a shared conversation of a different nature than the one we have in the hallway or over dinner.
The topics are both high-flying and every day, abstract and practical. About the universe, about the college community, about yourself.
The goal is not to find solutions or come to conclusions but to collectively explore a topic through conversation and discussion.

Magnus Stein
"My name is Magnus. I hold a ba. in anthropology, but primarily I've learned stuff about the world through living in the country and working with self-sufficiency.
When I was a højskole student myself, we built an entire house in the class I was in. Even though most of us had hardly held a hammer before. It was a totally mind-blowing experience to go out every day and do things none of us thought we could. That's peak Højskole for me.
I've previously been teaching horticulture, self-sustainability, music and politics and different Højskoler; been involved with climate and asylum acitivism; worked with indigenous movements in Latin America, and played in a punk band."
