What is an Evening School?

Evening schools are organized as informal education centers for adults. FOF København and Nordsjælland is part of FOF, which is Denmark’s largest provider of adult education with a wide variety of classes and cultural events across the country.

Adult education focuses on lifelong learning with the ambition to learn not only more about ourselves but also the world surrounding us. You learn by choice, not out of obligation. This enables you to delve deeper into the subjects that really interest you.

At FOF København and Nordsjælland, you gain knowledge and socialize with others who perhaps share same interests as you. The cornerstones of our education programs are personal development, improved quality of life, specialized knowledge, and a better foundation for active participation in society.

Our primary focus is to create high quality experiences. We pride ourselves on having skilled teachers who are excellent communicators, passionate about their subject areas, and who always deliver exceptional professional adult education.
