Denmark (September 2016)


A Visit to Denmark


In September 2016, as a group of students from our school’s Erasmus+ club, we visited the lovely countryside of Denmark, a town called Ringe. Our hosts were students from Midtfyns Gymnasium. They welcomed us in their houses for five days, we also went to their school with them every day. In the school hours we attended their classes or made discussions and workshops about our topic, “Globalization and Cultural Differences.” It was thrilling to hear the ideas of people from such diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. After school, we either went to the “Youth House,” a house allocated for the youngsters of Ringe, (where they can cook or watch a film or do activities; basically to hang out) or went sightseeing around the town with our hosts. In Youth House we prepared traditional dishes for each other, finding the necessary ingredients were a bit hard. We taught them our own folk dances and danced to some popular Turkish music too. They have taught us one of their folk dances too. One day visited the neighbor city called Odense, hometown of Hans Christian Andersen. In the end, we have left Ringe having discussed relevant topics for the European youth, learned a lot about the Danish culture and created beautiful memories. We spent the last two days in Copenhagen; the capital of the country was a metropolitan and multinational city. While we were sightseeing around Copenhagen, we visited the famous and cultural tourist attractions. This visit to Denmark made us learn a lot while having fun.
