In-between….
“…. that’s exactly where the change happens … it’s not in the direct parts, it’s in the relation between them”
Nora Bateson, 09.07 2019 - On the edge podcast, episode 2Inspired by Nora, we think of the “in-between” as a place where we can shift our way of making sense of the world and understand ourselves in new ways. The “in-between” springs to life when one steps away from habitual ways, and - because of another relatable entity creating an “in-between”- feels reassured and encouraged to let go of habitual sense-making, thus enabling us to be able to grasp the new.
Gregory Bateson often explored the concept of "the space in-between" in the context of communication and relationships. He emphasized that understanding the space in-between is crucial for grasping how meaning and patterns emerge. Bateson’s idea of the space in-between can thus be interpreted as the relational or interactive space where patterns of communication and behavior unfold, and meanings are negotiated.
We invite you to think about how Bateson’s ideas suggest that “in-between” can be a fertile ground for change. What can happen in Roskilde, Denmark when we meet and see the space “in-between”, not as a void, but as a rich space of potential transformation?
Join us at the “EBTA 2025 – In between” - Step into the space of possibilities, creativity,

About Roskilde Festival Folk High School
The idea of Roskilde Festival Folk High School came to be in 2004 during a seminar in Roskilde, where the municipality focused on the development of a new urban area surrounding the former concrete factory, Unicon. In 2008, the Roskilde Festival Association donated the first funds for the school. In 2010, the school hosted its first course in relation to the Roskilde Festival. A team of around 30 students created a folk high school in the empty concrete factory. No one knew at the time that the building was to be transformed into a brand new folk high school. This was also where the students identified the need for the abbreviation, RoFH. The values of the school are influenced by the ideals of non-profit, the need to create, and volunteering engagements that make up Roskilde Festival as we know it.
Places to visit in Roskilde
The cathedral city of Roskilde.
History, culture and beautiful nature are in generous supply a short 25 minutes from Copenhagen, and 10 minutes walk from the venue.
The history of Roskilde and the surrounding areas dates back to the Viking and Middle Ages. One of the main attractions is the royal tombs in Roskilde Cathedral, an impressive architectural gem that has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. RAGNAROCK museum, which is nearly neighbor to the venue, offers interactive exhibitions on rock and pop music and youth culture, and the Viking Ship Museum, offers a travel back in time with its living historical workshops.
