Teacher with Social Science and Humanities Breadth

Description:

Bona folkhögskola is seeking a pedagogue who wants to lead learning thematically, digitally, and in close connection with participants – preferably with expertise in social studies, history, religion, and English. One of our teachers in the social science and humanities area is retiring, and we are now seeking you to help further develop learning at Bona folkhögskola. The position encompasses 50–100%, depending on your expertise and the subject areas you can contribute to. The position starts in August 2026 or by agreement. About the Assignment We are seeking you who have broad subject matter expertise and can contribute within several of the areas: social studies, history, religion, culture, democracy, ethics, media, and current social issues. At Bona, we work thematically. This means that learning is not primarily built up as separate subject lessons, but around questions, contexts, and themes where multiple areas of knowledge meet. History, religion, social issues, languages, economics, culture, worldviews, power, democracy, and global analysis can therefore be woven together in the same work area. This way of working requires that you are curious even about areas outside your own subject background and enjoy collaborating with colleagues to create coherence and meaning in participants' learning. A significant part of the work takes place in English. Therefore, you need to have very strong English language skills and be able to lead learning processes in English, both orally and in writing. Our Working Approach Bona folkhögskola has spent several years developing an approach where digitalization, AI, and relationship-based pedagogy are a natural part of learning. For us, digital technology is not an add-on, but part of how we create accessibility, structure, community, and presence. We use digital environments for communication, course structure, guidance, and shared learning. We also actively work with AI as a tool for learning, reflection, language, analysis, and participants' ability to process complex issues and express their thoughts. You don't need to know everything from the start, but you need to be willing to learn, try new approaches, and contribute to continued development. We Are Looking for You Who Have broad expertise in social science and/or humanities subjects Can contribute within several of the areas: social studies, history, religion, culture, ethics, democracy, and global issues Have very strong English language skills and can lead learning in English Are interested in thematic and interdisciplinary work Are curious about knowledge areas outside your own subject background See digitalization and AI as possible tools for inclusion, learning, and independence Are confident when working with young adults and adult participants Can create structure, trust, and clarity in learning processes Enjoy collaborating and developing learning together with others Teacher training, folk high school experience, or experience with adult education is a merit, but we are also interested in other relevant experience. What We Offer At Bona, you become part of a small and engaged folk high school with a strong drive for development. We work closely with our participants and build education where knowledge, self-image, and belief in the future are connected. You will have colleagues who enjoy thinking together, trying new things, and taking responsibility for the whole. We work both on-site and digitally. The position encompasses 50–100%, depending on areas of expertise and organizational needs. Application Send your application with CV and cover letter to [email protected].
