Study tour
We are going on a study trip to Bethlehem and the West Bank, possibly also several countries in the region. On the trip we will meet people and experiences, and learn to communicate what we observe in a professional, factual and meaningful way. The school collaborates with the University of Bethlehem, and we will meet students and professionals in relevant fields there.
Tariq Alisubh , born in Bethlehem in 1974, is a Palestinian-Norwegian journalist. He started as a reporter in Palestine before moving to Norway in 2001. He now works for NRK and has produced content for news, "Norge Rundt" and "Brennpunkt". With a master's degree in journalism, he also teaches internationally. Tariq stands strong as a voice for truth and good stories.
The unique thing about folk high school is that you can learn about what you like - because you want to! We organized the teaching according to what we wanted to learn about. In the breaks, the discussion was loose. What is justice? Who has the power? It was incredibly inspiring!
