Danish folk high school with an international profile
Danish folk high school with an international profile
The folk high school is placed in Brenderup - a small village with a couple of groceries, drug stores, schools and a library. Brenderup is close to both beach and forest. We often arrange activities away from the high school. The type of activities depends on the season, but examples of activities are going to the beach for a swim or touring on the school bikes. The closest city is Middelfart which is 16 km west from Brenderup.
Proposed activities for EVS volunteers:
The volunteers will have the possebility to be a part of the special
fellowship you find on a folk high school.
The most important task for the volunteers will be to inspire us in our
daily work. We expect them to help us look at the work we are doing in
new ways, and to provide a different viewpoint in the themes we are
discussing. There will be plenty of opportunity for the volunteers to
make new initiatives and for creating their own activities.
Examples of activities in which the volunteers could be involved:
" construction of a nature playground for grown-ups
" Office work (making brochures, updating facebook, eg.)
" other practical work in or around the high school
" assisting in the planning of leasure activities for the students on
evenings and in weekends.
" Hosting in some evenings/weekends during the term
" participating/assisting in our daily life activities.
The volunteers will also have the opportunity to participate in
folkmusic clases, art classes and our international class where
international subjects are taught.
They will also be able to receive Danish lessons in the nearby city
Middelfart.
Lodging and boarding:
The volunteers will be lodged at the high school where they will live in
a separate area with bedrooms, bathroom and kitchenette with a
microwave etc. They will eat at the school together with the students
and the staff.
The volunteers will also be invited to social events arranged by the
AFS's local chapters together with other volunteers, exchange students
and host families.
Volunteer profiles and recruitment process:
We would prefer volunteers who are open-minded, reflective, mature and
full of initiative.
Volunteers with interest in folk music will be welcomed specially to
apply.
The vounteers must be able to speak English at a conversational level.
If you have any volunteers who are interested in this project, please send an e-mail with letter of motivation, CV and a photo
