Motivation is often seen as something coming from the outside. We in contrast see motivation as a product of the meeting between the human being and the outside world, and the need for change and action. Motivation is a structural part of the school’s everyday life, that lets you take in new stuff, try out and experiment with energy and a light head, processing attitudes and sharing exciting titbits of all kinds with your teammates.

In total, around 70 people from more than 15 different countries live, work and learn together on the Tvind campus as a community. · For the future teachers from DNS, Tvind’s unique diversity of people is a great opportunity to test themselves, to learn to organise events and to take on projects, to learn to approach and work with people from very different backgrounds, to understand and experience the value of an inclusive environment and of community life. It’s all about inclusivity.

The school functions as a social community where everybody contributes with their strengths and positive efforts, and receives support in areas where they are lacking. PTG International Youth College at Tvind is hence another kind of “ungdomshøjskole” – a unique school with an extraordinary programme and good results.

The school’s learning processes comprise both theoretical and practical studies. The school sees this as an absolute necessity for the process of learning and as a first precondition for benefiting from the school’s programme. The theoretical studies are necessary to make the action process more comprehensive. Practical actions help the students acquire the necessary skills and tools to be a successful activist educator.
