| Meet new friends in Russia |
Common subjects
The instruction is a result of cooperation between the students and the teachers.
We alternate between trips, classes, seminars and theme days
with movies and slideshow precentations, exhibitions, lectures, group work, conversations and discussions.
School trips
We start the school year with a trip to the school cabin, which lies in the mountain plane Bæskades.
In November we travel for a week east through Finnmark to Murmansk, Lovozero and Kirkovsk at the Kola Peninsula in Russia.
You will experience Russia, with great cultural happenings, contact with the Russian people and their daily life,
wonderful nature scenery and environmental challenges.
When the sun is back after the dark period around Christmas, we greet the sun together on a mountain top.
In the beginning of February we go to the traditonal Lappish winter market in Jokkmokk in Northern Sweden.
We have a winter trip where you may choose a major other than your own.
In May the whole school goes on a trip, on which you can experience the span from the fjord to the mountains,
with spring in the ebb-tide and snow for telemark skiing in the mountains above.
Seminars and classes
 |
| First aid course |
At certain times during the school year we devote several days around a common topic.
We often invite people with special skills to the school.
Early in the autumn, a first aid course is held.
A while later we have a community-seminar, and after Christmas we have a Lappish seminar, telemark instruction,
a film festival and an international seminar.
Theme days
The school´s location and the local community surrounding it is our starting point.
Life in Finnmark and north of the Arctic Circle provides the setting for most of what we learn,
whether it is outdoor life, management of natural resources or sociology.
Christianity
Øytun is a meeting place for peple with many different backgrounds and experiences.
It is a natural place for questions concerning faith, doubt, ethics and religion to be raised.
School choir
People have a creative capacity that we would like to encourage and feed through focusing on
choir, music, drama, literature, arts and handicrafts.
Our school takes part in different concerts on the school trip to Russia, before Christmas
and at the end-of-term celebration in May.
International society
Øytun is an international society.
Our students come from all over Norway, as well as from Sweden, Denmark, other European coutries and the rest of the world.
Instruction at Øytun is held in Norwegian.
We recommend foreign students to learn Norwegian before they start at Øytun (Norwegian courses).
Some basic grammatical and practical lessons can be available for non-Scandinavians as an autumn elective.
In addition you must be willing to work on your own to learn Norwegian.
More information will be made available to applicants who contact the school.
