About Odense Aftenskole
                                                  

Odense Aftenskole was founded
in 1907 as a non formal adult education organisation.
We cover a wide range of subjects.
Two things are near and dear to us: traditional crafts - the society we live in.
   
On a national level we are a part of  NETOP – Network for non-formal adult education
As the name implies, the very idea of networking is essential to NETOP. We see our main task in supplying our participants and students with meaningful and developing communities, whether they look for crafts skills, language teaching, lifestyle, or debate.
NETOP is a merger of 200 local non-formal adult education societies and groups, engaged in a wide variety of activities in education and crafts courses – weekend, day, and evening courses and classes. Our work is carried out with respect for the long tradition of craftsmanship, and with the ambition of extending knowledge to future generations. Our ambition is to maintain the link between traditional artisanship and the relevance of creativity and craftsmanship in our modern society.


NETOP wishes to encourage active membership of society by:
·       
Strengthening the ability and urge to be responsible for your own life
·       
Supplying the opportunity and ability to participate in meaningful communities
·        Encouraging active and dedicated participation in society
·        Strengthening individual competencies and insights, both general and specific"
