A leader in lifelong learning
Folkuniversitetet offers many adult education courses in Sweden and other parts of Europe. We want to give people tools to live a richer life through learning and creativity.
Knowledge makes a difference
We believe that knowledge is valuable — for each person and for society. Folkuniversitetet is an educational organization. We want to be a natural meeting place where people can explore knowledge, learn new things, enjoy culture, and reflect together.

Open to all
We believe that there needs to be numerous paths along which to develop, so that everyone has a chance to experience life-long learning. The concept of “folkbildning” – the universal, life-long right to freely acquire new knowledge – permeates our education, our organisation and our values. Folkuniversitetet believes that all humans have a need for knowledge and our broad range of courses is available to everyone. When we plan and carry out our operations, we always focus on the needs of the individual.
A scientific approach
We work closely with universities in Sweden. Our courses and way of teaching are shaped by science and academic thinking. One of our important goals is to share new research and make it easy for everyone to understand.
International perspective
International knowledge and experiences make our work in Sweden better and more interesting. We get ideas and inspiration by working with schools in Europe and by taking part in international networks.
