Short about our history
Ljungskile folkhögskola was founded in 1923 by Birger Magnus Hellerstedt, inspired by the Danish Folkhögskola movement with priest and teacher Gruntvig and a front figure. His ideas, based on conversation and the exchange of experience, had become popular in Sweden during the 19th century and there were already several educations centres with these beliefs around the country. Gruntvig meant that everyone, not only the teacher, could contribute to the learning situation. He believed in people meeting on equal terms. This may sound obvious today, but it definitely was not in those days. We are proud of our history and our ability to continue evolving as society changes.
When our main building, Västkustgården, was built in 1927 it contained the entire school: classrooms, kitchen, dining room and boarding rooms. Since then, many new buildings have been erected and our school has grown. In 2013, when we turned 90 years old, we completed a major renovation to meet modern demands.
