The program is structured around four vocational areas
:

• Creative Leadership. The pedagogy of the school combines theory and hands-on work, with real-world projects, in order to promote independent learning personal leadership and the development of skills and competencies that embrace the whole person, while creating value for our stakeholders. We are a group of 47 international students, arriving in Cape Town. We are committed to working hard, creating results and value, taking chances & risking making mistakes and learning from our experiences. In the second year, of our three- year education, we move our classroom to a location, outside Scandinavia, in order to create an educational outpost: three months of inspiration and collaboration with local partners. During the outpost, the we will apply our previously acquired knowledge and skills, in the four vocational areas, in a new and unfamiliar cultural and social context. We will be completing 10 projects with local partners, while self- organizing to create a team-wide learning organization to execute the projects and maximize our learning. WHY CAPE TOWN? We are drawn to the diversity, energy, culture, and potential to create meaningful collaborations with leading organizations and interesting people, in the Mother City. We are convinced that there is much to learn from the initiatives and people of Cape Town who have been creating a new reality for the city and all its people.
