Svalbard Folkehøgskole

Svalbard Folkehøgskole is a place of wonder. Longyearbyen sits on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, North of the Arctic Circle, far removed from the civilisation experienced by those on the mainland. This forward-thinking educational project offers a magical, unforgettable experience for its students, allowing access to a place unseen by most. Whilst out of reach for many geographically, it is far from being out of touch with modern design and innovation. The 'folk university' is one without exams and designed as a gap year option for young adults. It offers outdoor activities, art, and science, creating a truly memorable experience.
