Botilbuddet Ungdomshøjskolen PTG / PTG International Youth College is a private and independent boarding school for young people, based at an international campus in western Denmark. PTG is an alternative school where young people from different walks of life and nationality can study, work and live together. The school caters for people aged 16 - 30 years. The school promotes social responsibility and works actively to increase cultural awareness, inclusion and tolerance through cultural actions in the local community, as well as on study trips. The programme also entails "Planet Protection activities" such as planting trees, garden farming growing our own food, learning about nature and carrying out nature restoration projects. We have good facilities for nature and sports activities like ex. football, basket, volleyball, badminton, fitness, biking, mountain biking, kite-surfing, shelter and bon-fire. At the premises we have a big wind turbine "Tvindkraft", a bio-cube for cleaning the sewage and we have heating pumps.
The school functions as a social community where everybody contributes with their strengths and positive efforts, and receives support where they are lacking. The school has a strong "learning by doing" tradition, and also focuses on teaching skills. Thus the students and teachers run the school together, i.e. cooking, cleaning, maintenance work, gardening, shopping, planning programs and carrying them out.
