FO-Aarhus - http://www.fo.dk
FO-Aarhus (Association for Adult Education) is a non-government, non-profit organization established in 1973 to provide non-formal adult learning courses to the citizens of Aarhus. It has its own elected Board of Governors composed of representatives from the private sector, public administration, and the formal and vocational education sector.
FO-Aarhus’ basic expertise lies in non-formal education for adults and young people, for the general public, and specialization in programs that help disadvantaged groups – e.g. immigrants, the unemployed, people with learning disabilities, dyslectics, people with mental issues – to enhance their quality of life and to integrate (or re-integrate) into society and the workforce. The aim is to strengthen the participants’ personal, social, and vocational competencies as a stepping-stone to re-education, re-inclusion into the job market, or further education.
