Nordfyns Højskole - a slow world
There is a special atmosphere when you are on the school grounds. We call Nordfyns Højskole a 'slow world', because we value the present moment, in a world characterized by stress, the fear of wasting time and of missing out. One has the opportunity to immerse oneself in conversation, spend time pondering and reflecting, being aware of ourselves, our surroundings and relationships.

Before I started at Nordfyns Højskole, I was afraid I wouldn't fit in. As soon as I walked through the doors of the school, I was greeted by a group of people who in no way resembled me, but they had these warm, bright smiles on their lips, and I knew instantly that I had come to a safe place. Nordfyns Højskole will always have a special place in my heart, my time here has been one of the happiest periods in my life, due to the opportunities I have been given and the people, I have met.

The semester started out much better than I could have hoped for. Everyone was open and accommodating, and our differences only made it easier to find something to talk about. We were people from different continents, cultures, ages, and interests, but most importantly we had come for the community and the experience of folk high school. As the semester went on, there were more and more projects that we students became a bigger and bigger part of. I will never forget all the wonderful people and great togetherness. The experiences along the way have given me much more, than I dared hope for.

It is an experience that has developed me as a person, and which gave me the opportunity to get to know different cultures and new languages better. At Nordfyns Højskole I made friends from different countries, who were there for me in the good and bad times.

Dicover the atmospehre, closeness and magic of community
Going to folk high school gave me the opportunity to stop up, listen to my heart, and discover that to me, joy is when I get to do things in my own pace. I hope that future students are ready to enjoy the present moment and the closeness in the conversations that you will have both with your new friends and yourself. -Azusa Kawaguchi
