Venue:
The training course is taking place at an academy
opened by FDF but now run independently. Silkeborg
Højskole is a strange type of school that exists mainly in Scandinavia. It is for adults, so 18+, there are no entry requirements, qualifications or exams. It is a place you go for half a year to find the best version of yourself. The main subject lines are
-
Change Makers – for youth leaders in national organisations like the FDF who want to train their project management skills and leadership characteristics to an international proficiency. Usually 12-18 students from all over the world.
-
Outdoor life – scouting skills - canoeing, hiking, cooking on fire
-
Art – Painting, sculpture, live art, aesthetics, art history
-
Music – solo instruments, band playing, electronic music
-
Politics – looking at political systems around the world
-
Sport and water sports – football, kayak polo, handball, running, rounders, swimming, diving, water polo.
There is a large focus on trying new things you would not have considered before, so there are workshops in swimming, ceramics, painting, volleyball, Judo, pottery, choir, philosophy, sculpture, photography, band music, theatre, pedagogy, Social Entrepreneur, sociology, lifesaving, kayaking, game theory, intercultural learning, anthropology, aesthetics and many more.
Next Step will interact with the Change Makers team so you will get inspired by sessions created by a small team of youth leaders from around the globe. This is an exciting chance to hear how youth work in Africa and Asia can provoke and give a new perspective of your work.
