Joint courses and joint trips
Common subjects
På ukeplanen er omtrent halvparten av tiden satt av til linjefag. Resten av tiden bruker vi på valgfag og fellesfag som går på tvers av skolens linjer.
På Sund er vi opptatt av at du skal vokse som menneske, bli bedre kjent med deg selv og finne din plass i samfunnet. Fellesskap, menneskeverd og demokrati er viktig for oss, og ligger som en grunnmur i alt vi gjør på skolen.
We offer varied teaching with a lot of activity in the common subjects.
The four central themes in the common subjects
We have four central themes that we spend a lot of time on and which form the core of the common subject teaching at Sund folk high school .
Sometimes things need to be said, even if it means criticizing prevailing trends, people or institutions with power. We focus on political and social issues that need to be discussed. You'll work on justifying and presenting your views and opinions in a way that gives them weight and significance. In this way, you can emerge as an engaged, critical and aware citizen.
We are surrounded by a diverse cultural life, and we will explore what exists and what it does to us. Through experiences and joint reflection on various artistic and aesthetic expressions, students will have the opportunity to expand their cultural horizons and discuss issues related to art and culture.
In this subject, students work with issues related to climate, sustainability and the environment, based on their own local environment. By studying our surroundings, we try to create an understanding and awareness of the environmental and climate challenges facing the world. There will be lectures and discussions, but also short walks around the local area. We will spend time getting to know and love the nature that surrounds us.
Everyone has a body, and we need to use it. In this subject, there is a wide range of activities that all have in common that the students are active. The program is designed so that everyone, regardless of physical fitness and prior knowledge, gets their body moving and is physically active. You will gain energy, improve concentration and be happier.
In brief:
- Everyday school life is much more than the program-specific classes
- Common subjects are taken by all students together, regardless of their main program.
- Elective subjects are taken by students from different programs, forming new groups outside their main program.
Example of common subjects:
- Morning assembly
- Pupils' time
- School choir
- Fellestur to Sør-Gæslingan
- Kitchen service
- Physically active
- Saturday school
- Husmøte
- Temadager
Social media for Sund in general
At folk high school , classes are usually held on Saturdays. At Sund , we use Saturday school for joint events and to work on common subjects. Saturday school can be both theoretical and practical, both serious and a lot of fun!
Før studiereisen bruker vi noen lørdager til å forberede studiereisene, blant annet ved å reflektere over hvordan vi best kan foreta reiser der vi treffer folk i en helt annen kultur enn vår egen. Vi får også besøk av gjesteforelesere som åpner verden for oss på mange vis.
Skoletiden på lørdag er normalt fra kl. 10.00 til 14.00.
Living at folk high school is like moving away from home, but not entirely on your own. Part of life is cleaning the room, washing clothes, cooking and cleaning up after yourself.
At Sund folk high school , all meals are communal meals, and at these meals there are always some students on kitchen duty. They help put out the food and clean up after the meal.
All students are on kitchen duty during the school year.
- Morgensamling – en god start på dagen. Sang, ord for dagen og beskjeder
- Elevenes time – elevrådet har ukentlig tid med alle elevene. Året på folkehøgskole formes av elevene, så dette er et viktig møtested.
- School choir - in a few hectic weeks before Family Day, we have a school choir
- Husmøte – på Husmøtet tar vi tar opp saker om angår alle elevene. Vi synger, og både elever og ansatte tar ordet. Dette er et viktig møtepunkt på Sund folkehøgskole. Det er husmøte hver uke.
In addition to the study trips, all Sund students travel on at least two joint trips each year.
Get-to-know-you tour in the mountains
During the first few weeks, everyone at the school goes on a get-to-know-you trip. The purpose is simple: as you can imagine, we're going to try to get to know each other a little better, both students and staff. Often it's better to do this away from school, while creating experiences together.
A mountain trip where we spend two nights in the mountains. We take a bus about an hour from the school. We go for a walk, and get to know each other both on the hike over the mountain and not least in the togetherness at the cabin and in the shelters around the cabin. We live in a large cabin with beds for most people. Those who want to build a shelter and live outside the cabin can also stay in a tent. We go hiking, we cook together, we sing, compete, enjoy ourselves and just - we get to know each other.
It's simply a great start to the school year.
Closing trip to Sør-Gjæslingan
The second big joint trip is towards the end of the school year. Then we travel to Sør-Gjæslingan . It's a protected fishing village on the Namdals coast and is an hour by speedboat from Namsos.
We stay three nights, live in cabins, fish, cook on bonfires and play pranks in the bright Trøndelag nights. We simply enjoy the surroundings and each other. It's a great way to end the year, for both students and staff.
It's hard to describe how beautiful Sør-Gjæslingan really is. You simply have to come along and see for yourself.
