Design your path
Do you want a different year, full of experiences, creativity, and new challenges? Do you wish to develop yourself, gain new perspectives, and do something that truly feels meaningful?
In ‘Design Your Path,’ you get to explore different directions with support and guidance from an experienced teacher who sets the framework and keeps you on track.
We combine three exciting subject areas – sign language, outdoor life, and art. The teaching is conducted in sign language, and you get to work both practically and theoretically together with other motivated students.
