Tvind

Tvind is situated on the West Coast of the Danish peninsula Jutland – 10 km from the North Sea, 250 km from the German Border, 400 km from Copenhagen – near the village Ulfborg between the two towns Holstebro and Ringkøbing.
The landscape is flat and open, sprinkled with cattle- and crop-farms. The sky is huge and overwhelming – and the spruce and pines are fencing the fields leaning westward, forced by the persuasive west wind.
The School Centre in Tvind is a bouquet of schools, homes, and cultural centres with strong traditions of being untraditional, with solid pedagogical experiences, and with an international orientation influencing all parts of school life. In total around 100 people - hailing from more than 15 different countries - live, work and go to school in Tvind.
