The TFHS in Denmark belongs to the DRH Movement. DRH is an abbreviation for "Den Rejsende Højskole", which is Danish and means "The Travelling Folk High School". The first DRH School started in Denmark in 1970. The first 10 years, thousands of young people went travelling to all parts of the world and met with people from all walks of life. As a natural consequence of meeting fellow human beings, of whom many lived under poor and unacceptable conditions, the endeavor began to minimize the gap between rich and poor.
Today, the International DRH Movement comprises of 13 such Travelling Folk High Schools located in 8 different countries on 4 continents : Europe, USA, Africa and Asia. Every year around 600 Development Instructors from over 65 countries train themselves at one of the DRH Schools in order to take up a position in Africa, Asia or Central America.
