About the Project
The International Efterskole is a a school for students aged 14–17 who are interested in learning in an international environment.
The school welcomes both Danish and international students and offers a unique opportunity to combine academic learning, cultural exchange, and community life.
Lessons are taught mainly in English, and the school follows both Danish and international educational principles. This creates a diverse and open atmosphere where students learn from each other and develop global understanding, independence, and confidence.
In addition to regular subjects, students take part in creative workshops, outdoor activities, and international projects, and many courses focus on themes such as global citizenship, sustainability, and intercultural communication.
Volunteer’s Tasks
As a volunteer, you will become part of the school’s everyday life and support both
the academic and social environment. You might help in classes such as English, art, or sports, join workshops or creative projects, or take part in evening and weekend activities.
Depending on your background and interests, you could also support language learning, help organise cultural events, or join excursions. You
will always work together with teachers and staff – your main role is to support, motivate, and engage with students in their activities.
Volunteers are also encouraged to bring their own culture, language, and ideas into the school community – for example by sharing games, music, traditions, or simple lessons about their home country.
Volunteering at The International Efterskole is a chance to experience the lively and inspiring world of a Danish efterskole while living in a truly international community. It’s a meaningful opportunity to connect with young people, explore cultural diversity, and contribute to a place where learning and global understanding go hand in hand.
