INFORMATION

ASK is a gathering for families and individuals who are already, or are considering, unschooling, worldschooling or homeschooling, and individuals who are generally interested in free learning.

 

It is an all volunteer event, a space for meeting like-minded individuals, exchanging experiences and knowledge, laugh, dance and sing together.

We will continuously update you about ASK on our facebook page and in our facebook group ASK - a gathering for free learners on Bornholm/Denmark​

 

PRICE

1200 DKK per adult (18+)

200 DDK per child (0-17)

 

All meals are included in the price.

 

CANCELLATION-POLICY

It is possible to get a refund of 50 % of the price if you cancel more than one month before the festival.​ 

POTENTIAL COVID19-CANCELLATION

In case we have to cancel due to changes in COVID19-restrictions, families will get their tickets fully refunded minus the transfer fee. 
HOWEVER IF we are forced to cancel after the 9th of May 2021 we reserve the right to not give any refunds. BUT we will give as big a refund we can in the given situation. This depends on how much money has already been spend on food and so on for the festival, we are guessing we will always be able to give at least 50 % refund even if this difficult situation should occur.

We have reserved a handful of tickets for economically challenged families.

ACCOMMODATION

The gathering is taking place at Bækkely, which is a place for summer camps in the picturesque village of Snogebæk, about 2 minutes of walk from the lovely sandy beach. On the property you find a spacious house which offers various rooms for group activities, toilets and bathrooms, bedrooms, a big professional kitchen where the food-magic happens as well as an extra kitchen that the participants can use freely. The house is surrounded by large areas for camping and bonfires, a volley court and some other sports areas as well as a beautiful playground at the border of a small forest. 

As a participant you can choose to bring your own tent or camping wagon/camper. 

 

There are 13 rooms available, with 6 bunk-beds each. It is not really possible to move the matresses around inorder to co-sleep. The rooms are for those who need it. This could for example be the single mother with three kids and no tent. If you feel you cannot participate if you don't get a room, this is you. We will leave it up to you and your family to decide what your needs are, but please be aware that the rooms are booked “first come first served”. 

 

FOOD

All meals are included in the price. The three daily meals are served as a buffet in a two-hour time period. 

Between meals, snacks are available on the buffet (fruits, bread). There is also access to the coffee/tea-corner all day.

All food is vegan and at least 80 % of the food is organic.

The food will be prepared by our volunteers, with help from the participants. 
 

Please notice that consumption of alcohol is not permitted on the premise.

 

CONTRIBUTE

To create a feeling of community, and to make sure that everybody can enjoy the gathering, we need you all to contribute to the daily tasks at ASK, and the general activities that the event involves. That means we need that those who are able to help, help with cleaning and cooking to some extent.

We would also love many of you to contribute with different activities for the program, everything from making pancakes over a bonfire, a networking event or a woodworking class.
The main infrastructure of the gathering is secured by our volunteers, who will keep the kitchen running and help the organizers with coordinating cleaning, activities and the gathering as a whole.

More information about the contribution will come later - but please feel free to write to us if you already now want to talk about how you and your family can contribute.
