Quotes from the students

"At Efterskole I learned to think "we" instead of "I", and that meant we all had to contribute to the common good, if we were to have a share in it. It must be one of the most important tasks of the Efterskole to show the value of thinking of others. It's specially important in a society where egoism is on the increase."

 

"At Efterskole I learned the importance of democracy, of taking part in the democratic process, and not least the difficulty of reaching agreement and satisfying everyone… That means that today I feel a responsibility for my community, and an obligation to express my opinion."

 

"I have learned so much from the experiences I had at my Efterskole which have helped me in later life, i.e. team spirit, taking a critical standpoint, having your own opinion and speaking to a whole group of people."

 

"I got a lot out of the lessons. I actually got to like a subject that I hated at my previous school - and so I got better marks than I would otherwise have done. A change of teachers is just one of the great things about going to an Efterskole."
