Inspiration and knowledge exchange

The purpose is to inspire and challenge the way we think education. Behind the seminar is the think tank China Education 30 Forum with Mr. Ma Guochuan in front and Learn for Life / Nordfyns Højskole. Mr. Ma was in Denmark in December 2018, where he participated in a course at Nordfyns Højskole. He is very enthusiastic about the Danish / Nordic model. He thinks that our approach to education is a good inspiration for the think tank working on reforming the education system in China and create children and young people who are creative, happy and have the desire to learn.
