Tvind - International Perspective

International Perspective

International issues have always been an integral part of the school programs in practice and in theory. A few out of many examples are:

• The entire program of the Travelling Folk High School.
• The meeting with the world's poor inspired teachers and present and former students to establish Development Aid from People to People (DAPP) which later became Humana People to People Movement a development organization which now operates in more than 40 countries.
• Students have participated in DAPPs and HPPs projects making flea markets in Scandinavia, fundraising, working in projects in Africa as building constructors, participating in alphabetization campaigns, as solidarity workers, as development instructors in "Child Aid" projects, "Total Control with the Epidemic" TCE (HIV-AIDS) projects, educational projects, "Farmers Club" projects and much more.
• Students at the Travelling Folk High Schools have been trained to become "Solidarity Workers" or "Development Instructors".
• International summer camps have been held in Tvind with young participants from all over Europe and Northern Africa.
• The schools have opened their buildings for Palestinian and Tamil refugees.
• Young people from Southern Africa have received scholarships from DAPP and been educated at the schools for periods of up to 1 year.
