Heritage and Language classes give students the tools to dive more deeply into their roots and connect with cultural traditions. While most classes focus on the culture, language, and history of Norway, some are appropriate for anyone curious about heritage and identity. Some classes are specifically tailored for travelers while others help students travel in their imaginations. Vesterheim instructors in this category bring exceptional training and experience to create meaningful and informative class experiences.
