– I want to win a Spellemann award for something I have produced.
Since 1969, we have been called Rønningen Folk High School. Over the decades, thousands of "Rønneners" have left their mark on our school and taken their experiences with them to the rest of the world.
Now is the time for a new look. Rønningen Folkehøgskole will become Oslo Folkehøgskole . The name will change, but the school we have built will remain. We are still the same school that provides space for engagement, creativity, reflection and community – but with a name that more clearly reflects the city we are a part of.
Welcome to us.

WILD
"The best thing about the top sports line was that I got all the time I needed to focus on my sport while also making lots of new friends. We were a group on the top sports line who trained a lot together and learned from each other."
Oslo gives us many cool locations
