Training Course
28 September - 4 October 2025 | Fredrikstad, Norway
FIRTO offers youth workers hands-on tools in group drumming and rhythm-based facilitation, embodied learning and inclusive group processes – merging artistic practice, non-formal learning and intercultural experience.
FIRTO – Finding Rhythm Together – is a 6-day international training course for youth workers and facilitators working in the field of non-formal learning. The course invites participants into deep, embodied learning through rhythm, movement, presence and shared experience – not as theory, but as something lived, practiced and felt.
The training takes place on Isegran, a car-free island and cultural heritage site in the heart of Fredrikstad, Norway. Surrounded by water, sky and history, Isegran offers a space where focus, connection and creativity can grow naturally.
At the heart of FIRTO is rhythm – not as a metaphor, but as a shared language of listening and co-creation. With accessible drums and percussion, we explore how rhythm can foster inclusion, trust and participation. Methods are grounded in community drumming, movement and youth-centred facilitation, drawing on Klart Det and partner organisations long experience with embodied and experiential learning.
Participants will gain practical tools to:
FIRTO is led by an international trainer team: Mikael from Norway, Marina from Hungary and Tomás from Spain – all with extensive experience in youth work, embodiment and rhythm-based facilitation.
The training starts on Sunday 28 September with soup at 17:00 and a welcome drum circle at 18:00. Sessions run from Monday 29 September to Friday 3 October, and the course ends Friday evening. Sunday 28 September and Saturday 4 October are designated travel days, with departure after breakfast on Saturday.

Klart Det (Youth NGO)
Klart Det is a Norwegian non-profit creating inclusive learning spaces for youth through rhythm, dance, nature and embodied participation.
We work in the intersection of art, youth work and social inclusion, with a strong focus on presence, co-creation and lived experience.
Our approach to learning is inspired by phenomenology – engaging the whole person in meaningful situations – and informed by a salutogenic perspective that strengthens health, agency and belonging rather than focusing on problems or deficits.
We are known for creating safe, engaging and trust-based spaces where young people can feel seen, valued and capable – especially those who don’t always thrive in traditional settings.
