Summary/Abstract: The idea of Folk High School (FHS) is possessed by one of the most famous human beings in North countries – Nicol Frederick Severin Grundtvig (1783 – 1872). This was one of the most brave ideas in rebellious XIX century and became a credo in Danish “free schools and higher folk schools movement”, and is also effective in our time. FHS both in Grundvitg times and currently facilitates the understanding of life, the upholding of responsibilities of citizens, also the contribution to developing the main cultural level, as well as raising well-rounded personality. FHS are opened to all people despite their social status, age, and education in all countries. Folk high school activities provide exceptional learning background; specific relationship between students and teachers exists. These are the main factors for the existence of folk high schools; their specifics, needs, revelation of motivations may help to understand their essence better.
