Conferences

If you're good at finding strong arguments and get a thrill from being in the spotlight, Herlufsholm offers three great opportunities to strengthen your ability to express yourself logically and precisely, while also building your confidence to speak in front of an audience.

 

Round Square conferences

The Round Square school partnership holds annual regional conferences and a major global conference. The focus is on the cultural exchange between young people from all over the world, and we promise you an amazing experience if you engage in Herlufsholm's Round Square activities. Each conference is based on a theme, and the days feature lectures, group discussions, workshops, experiences with the host country's culture, fun activities, and new friendships.

 

Model United Nations

If you love politics, Model United Nations is a fantastic playground for you. With conferences both in Denmark and abroad, you'll gain in-depth knowledge of the UN's political arena. You train weekly with other participants, so you're sharp when you attend. MUN conferences are held at select schools in Denmark, but at Herlufsholm, we have a tradition of attending them abroad.

 

Debate

This is all about the good argument. You will learn the British debate rules and train to participate in English Speaking Union’s store nationale debatkonkurrence, where Danish high school students compete against each other. If you're skilled, you might be selected for the national team. In consultation with the participants, the team will decide whether to compete in international debate competitions.
