Who and WHAT IS CAMPUS ÆRØ?

Campus Ærø makes it easier to get an education – and enjoy island life.

Shortly the Campus Ærø project contains three parts:

1. We operate Campus Ærø Study Center at Marstal Navigation School

2. We support and create social and professional networks for everyone in education

3. We strengthen collaboration with education outside the island – especially digital.

In other words, Campus Ærø creates the framework for student life with room for community, well-being and access to both digital and physical facilities. We do this based on the belief that there should be access to lifelong learning throughout Denmark.

Opportunities for lifelong learning and development are part of the good life.

Campus Ærø is a collaboration between Ærø Municipality, HF & VUC Fyn, Marstal Navigationsskole, Det Gl. Værft and Motorfabrikken Marstal. If you have any questions, you can often find us (Anneline and Heidi) at the Study Center, and otherwise write or call if you have any questions.
