Live and study current affairs in Denmark · Højskolen Mors
Look outwards and find your inner debaterThe Press Room is part of the morning assembly every Friday at Højskolen Mors, a creative residential school on the island of Mors in Denmark (in Danish, a højskole). Here you get updated on current political news and debates from all over the world, and afterwards we open up for debate. You get tools for argument and discussion, and we focus on different parts of the world, religions and peoples. The teaching is in English. It is for political nerds and for you who simply want to know how the world is doing.
