Castberggård
Castberggård was founded in 1973 by four Deaf clubs based in Jutland. These clubs collaborated to raise funds and purchase Castberggård, with a vision to create a cultural and educational center for the Deaf community.
In 1983, Castberggård began offering a variety of educational programs aimed at Deaf individuals in Denmark. Three years later, in 1986, it officially became a folk high school, expanding its focus to provide non-formal education for Deaf individuals aged 18 and older.
In 2005, Castberggård expanded its reach beyond Denmark's borders with the launch of Frontrunners, an international leadership education program. Since its inception, Frontrunners has provided transformative learning experiences for students worldwide and continues to thrive as a hub for global Deaf leadership and education.
