Viking - summary in english
The Viking course turned out to be a major hit, even before it started. Several news-media including the Norwegian main broadcaster NRK, have written about the course and made interviews. The viking culture was much more than just warriors raiding and plundering the rest of Europe....
Viking culture
Most were farmers, fishermen and craftsmen. We will be celebrating the crafts of the vikingage. We will dig deeper in to the period by trying to recreate some of the artefacts that the archeologists have found. Experimenting with archeology, and trying to make history come alive, many discoveries and experiences will bring us an insight to the life and culture of the Vikings. On the Vikingline we will be working with different aspects of the viking age, primarily through our hands. By reconstructing archeological finds from the period, we will come closer to some parts of the life and culture of the vikings. Introduced to a variety of crafts such as blacksmithing, we will be making our own tools to do woodwork, leatherwork and textiles. Ending up with our own “Viking basic-kit” based on archeological artefacts. Walking in similar clothes and shoes as they did in the vikingage adds to the experience and the imagination.
A craftscourse
Since we are modern people, we need experience and imagination to get a little closer to the vikings and the rich culture they had. This is mainly a craftscourse where we will try to keep a red line through the period and make a little part of history come to life. It is not all crafts though, to make good things you also have to study hard at the historybooks. Seljord folk high school gives you nine months of unique opportunity to live out the dream of this rich culture.
Trips
We will meet a local Viking group and of course sail on the Viking ship Aasa. We will also go to York to experience the lost Viking kingdom Jorvik. No Viking made it to Nepal, but you will. These journeys are included in the school fee.
