Some of those who have been here
Tine Kjølsen (Head of institute, kommunikationsdesign, Danmarks Designskole)
“My stay at the folk high school in 1980 has continued to have value throughout my studies and working life. It has had great importance; I have been connected to the school since then, as a teaching assistant and as a teacher of summer courses for the last ten years. My stay at the folk high school has been the basis of a number of friendships and working relationships that have been with me ever since. This place is magical and has meant so much for my relationship to other people, to art, philosophy, education and much, much more.

“Holbæk was the grounding, the basis of the serious work towards becoming an artist. Here I met colleagues and friends whom I still team up with, and I met teachers who inspired me and who to this day are important for me.
Timothy Jacob Jensen (Chief Designer)

Bjørn Ignatius Øckenholt (Artist and author)
“I was at the folk high school in the spring of 85”
It changed my life totally – perhaps because it was the first time I recognized myself.
There was room to breathe – in the small rooms as well.
I became an artist later, but you can’t blame the school for that.”
Karoline H. Larsen (Artist)
It was one of the most fruitful periods of development in my life! Suddenly, I found myself in a place, Holbæk, with likeminded people, and I could just try it all out – 24 hours a day! I worked intensively for 4 months. I still have friends from my stay there, 14 years later….
