Community Life

At DRH Lindersvold, participants live, learn, and work together as part of an international community.

Community life is an essential part of the training experience. Students and staff share the daily running of the school, taking responsibility for the place they live in and helping create a clean, welcoming, and supportive environment.

Through shared responsibilities, participants develop teamwork, practical skills, cooperation, and a strong sense of community. This experience prepares them for the project stage, where living and working with others is a central part of the volunteer journey.

Pedagogy

At DRH Lindersvold, learning is active, practical, and connected to real-life experience. The training is based on a learning by doing approach, where participants take responsibility for their own learning while working closely with their team and the school community.

The training combines individual study, common courses, group discussions, documentaries, case studies, practical actions, community work, and reflection. This approach helps participants connect theory with action and develop skills such as teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, communication, and responsibility.

Throughout the training, participants explore global challenges such as inequality, climate change, poverty, international cooperation, public health, education, and sustainable agriculture. The goal is to prepare them to join community-based projects in Africa or Asia with knowledge, practical skills, and an open mind.
