Christopher Bruun (1839–1920)

Norwegian clergyman and folk educator (1839–1920) — a contributor to the folk high school movement in 19th-century Norway.

Christopher Arndt Bruun was a Norwegian clergyman and folk school teacher who lived from 1839 to 1920. As a pastor and teacher at a folk high school he contributed to the folk education movement in late 19th-century Norway, which was inspired by the ideas of Danish theologian N. F. S. Grundtvig. Folk high schools of this kind aimed to bring education out of elite institutions and into the hands of ordinary people.
