Kære elever Nu sidder du med Ranum Efterskole College Yearbook 2024-25. Disse sider samler oplevelser og minder fra det 21. elevhold – årgang 2024-25. På de sociale medier er selv øjeblikket lynhurtigt historie, og de mange film, billeder og fortællinger på Facebook, Instagram og TikTok varer kun, til disse tjenester lukker – eller du melder dig ud. Det er derfor vores håb, at Yearbook må fastholde både dine egne og de fælles minder og oplevelser for resten af dit liv. Læg den på dit bord, lad andre bladre i bogen og fortæl om dine oplevelser, dine venner og om idéen med Ranum Efterskole College. Din fortælling vil give idéer og mod, til at andre også vil søge friheden og eventyret i livet. Året har budt på en stor mangfoldighed af aktiviteter og oplevelser. I har dannet interessefællesskab om de allerede kendte fag, men I har også formet nye valgfag, aktiviteter og Profil- og Kulturfag, som ingen andre har haft mulighed for at prøve før. Det er det helt unikke i efterskolelivet på Ranum, at du selv har kunnet forme dit efterskoleår og været med til at forme nye fag og aktiviteter. Det har kun været muligt, fordi I har brugt den frihed og tillid, som blev givet til at tage ansvar for jeres eget efterskoleår. I har oplevet at knytte tætte relationer i elevflokken og bevæget jer mellem forskellige vennegrupper. Hvert møde og venskab har forhåbentlig gjort dig lidt mere afklaret om, hvem du selv er, og vil være som person. Du har i dit efterskoleår været en del af mange fællesskaber, og du har haft betydning for dine kammeraters lykke og glæde. Måske opdagede du det ikke altid, men uden dit “hej” på gangen og din deltagelse i samtaler og aktiviteter havde vi ikke haft det samme efterskoleår. Du er blevet en del af den store regnbue på gavlen over festsalen – som et bevis på, at vi sammen kunne danne små og store fællesskaber med mangfoldighed og i gensidig respekt for hinanden. Det er det, vi kalder for Togetherness. Vi glæder os til at se jer igen den 20. juni 2026 til REC-Union Festival Camp. Med venlig hilsen Olav Storm Johannsen, Forstander

Elevhold nr. 21 / Student year no. 21

Årgang 2024/25 Academic year 2024-25

Dear Students You are now holding the Ranum Efterskole College Yearbook 2024-25. These pages bring together memories and experiences from the 21st student group – the class of 2024-25. On social media, moments quickly become history, and the many videos, photos, and stories on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok only last until the platforms shut down – or you log off. That’s why we hope this Yearbook will preserve both your personal and shared memories for life. Keep it on your desk, let others browse through it, and tell your story – about your experiences, your friends, and what Ranum Efterskole College meant to you. Your story may inspire others to seek freedom and adventure in life. This year has offered great diversity in activities and experiences. You formed communities around familiar subjects, but also helped create new subjects, activities, and Profile and Cultural subjects that no one had tried before. That’s the unique thing about Ranum: the chance to shape your own school year and take part in creating something new. And it was only possible because you embraced the freedom and trust given to you. You’ve built strong connections within the student body and moved between different groups of friends. Hopefully, each meeting and friendship helped you understand more about who you are and want to be. You’ve been part of many communities and helped create joy for those around you. Maybe you didn’t always notice it, but without your “hello” in the hallway and your presence in conversations and activities, this year wouldn’t have been the same. You’re now part of the rainbow mosaic above the assembly hall – a symbol of the communities we’ve created together, with diversity and mutual respect. That’s what we call Togetherness. We look forward to seeing you again on June 20th, 2026, at the REC-union Festival Camp. Best regards Olav Storm Johannsen, Principal

FIR S T DAY OF S CHOOL

Velkommen til efterskolelivet: Første “skoledag” Dagen startede ud med en mindeværdig velkomstsamling på plænen foran hovedbygningen, hvor der blev budt velkommen til familier og nye elever. Vi indledte årets første dag med at synge ‘Livstræet’ og forberede hele årgang 20 på at “lege i livstræets krone”. Eleverne flyttede efterfølgende ind i deres huse og mødte hinanden for første gang. Kufferterne blev pakket ud og familierne blev krammet og kysset farvel. Welcome to the new school year! The day started with a memorable welcome assembly on the lawn in front of the main building, greeting families and the new students. We began the first day of the year by singing ‘The Tree of Life’, preparing the entire 20th class to “play in the crown of the tree of life”. The students then moved into their houses and met each other for the first time. Suitcases were unpacked and families hugged and kissed goodbye.

FA RV E FE S T / COL O U R PA R T Y Hvert år finder eleverne på Ranum Efterskole College deres mest farverige tøj frem til det ikoniske Farvefest. Hver enkelte kontaktgruppe får tildelt en individuel farve, som de både iklæder sig og pynter borde med. Mangfoldigheden stråler!

Every year, the students at Ranum Efterskole College bring out their most colourful clothes for the iconic Colour Party. Each contact group was assigned an individual colour, which they dressed up in and decorated their tables with. Diversity shines!

Det traditionelle Farvefest lagde stærkt ud med fotografering af kontaktgrupperne, mens eleverne kunne trække på smilebåndet over hinandens tøjvalg. Derefter rykkede festen til hallen, hvor der ventede lækker middag og underholdning.

The traditional Colour Party started off strong with a photo shoot of the contact groups, while students admired the different fashion choices. Then the party moved to the hall, where a delicious dinner and entertainment awaited.

Festen bød desuden på farverigt ansigtsmaling og disco rundt om Livstræet i skolegården.

The party also included colourful face painting and disco around the Tree of Life in the schoolyard.

Kontaktlærer-elev forholdet på en efterskole er helt specielt. Kontaktlæreren er oftest den person, som står eleverne nærmest, og er dermed den person som de går til, hvis de har noget, de har behov for at snakke om. Vi afholder derfor Hjemmehos, hvor eleverne i deres kontaktgrupper besøger deres kontaktlærer. Det er en hyggelig tradition der skaber sammenhold og tætte venskaber på tværs gennem madlavning og sjove udendørs aktiviteter.

HJ E M M E HOS KON TA K TL Æ RE R

The contact teacher-student relationship at an efterskole is very special. The contact teacher is usually the person closest to his or her students, and is therefore the person they go to if they have something they need to talk about. That’s why we organise Hjemmehos; where students, in their contact groups, visit their contact teacher. It’s a cosy tradition that builds unity and close friendships while they preparing food and fun outdoor activities.

G U E S T S FRO M H A M BU RG 22 elever og 2 lærere fra Winterhuder Reformschule i Hamborg er i øjeblikket i gang med deres cykeludfordring - som, når den er gennemført, vil have ført dem fra Flensborg hele vejen op langs den jyske vestkyst til Skagen og derefter tilbage gennem Jylland til Hamborg. Det dårlige vejr og et par skader betød, at de havde brug for et godt hvil under et tørt og varmt tag, hvilket vi kunne tilbyde dem i går aftes. De studerende blandede sig med vores studerende og delte deres forskellige oplevelser. Vi vil følge deres eventyr, indtil de når målstregen i næste uge, og ønsker dem alt det bedste på resten af deres rejse. Det kan du også: https://wir.taskcards.app/...

22 students and 2 teachers from Winterhuder Reformschule in Hamburg are currently doing their bike ride challenge - which, when completed, will have taken them from Flensburg all the way up the west coast of Jutland to Skagen and then back down through Jutland to Hamburg. The bad weather and a few injuries, meant the need for a rest under a dry and warm roof, which we were able to offer them last night. The students mingled with our students and shared their different experiences. We will follow their adventure until they reach their finish line next week and wish them all the best on the rest of their journey You can too: https://wir.taskcards.app/...

Weeks of training on the lawn in front of the main building and many runs around Ranum finally paid off when the day of Vilsted Sø Løb arrived. A day where everyone was active and participated on walking and running routes with family and friends.

Efter løbets afslutning var der præmieoverrækkelse til vindern - alle deltagere modtog en flot medalje om halsen og der blev serveret frokost på torvet af efterskolens køkken. Så godt gået! Mange tak til alle jer der deltog i Vilsted Sø Løb.

At the end of the race, there was a prize ceremony for the winners - all participants received a nice medal around their necks and lunch was served on the square by the efterskole’s kitchen. So well done! Thank you to everyone who participated in Vilsted Sø Løb.

På denne dag har vi international aften, hvor vi lærer om hinandens forskellige kulturer. Dagen starter som normalt, men når eleverne får fri, gør de deres områder klar til at vise nogle virkelig seje ting frem. I år har vi mange forskellige kulturer repræsenteret; vi har elever på besøg fra hele verden, som laver deres nationale retter eller bare snacks, som de nyder hjemmefra. Det er en rigtig god måde for eleverne at lære om de kulturer, de møder på rejser rundt i verden, og de bliver mere åbne for at prøve mad, de måske ikke har overvejet tidligere. Det er også vigtigt at kunne kommunikere med nye mennesker, og det gør det lettere at finde ligheder og forskelle mellem kulturerne. Det hjælper dem til at blive mere åbne, så de kan prøve nye ting på deres kulturrejser.

On this day we have International Evening, where we learn about each other’s different cultures. The day starts out as normal, but when the students are free they get their areas ready to show off some really cool stuff. This year we have many different cultures represented; we have students visiting from all over who cook their national dishes or simply snacks they enjoy back home. It is a really good way for the students to learn about the cultures they may encounter during trips around the world and to become more open to trying food they might not have considered before. Being able to communicate with new people is also important, and this makes it easier by finding similarities and differences among cultures. It helps them become more open‑minded so they can try new things on their cultural journeys.

Et af de emner, vi kommer omkring, er overlevelse på havet. Tiden blev brugt i poolen i Rønbjerg.

P1 Profilfagsrejser P1 Profile Subject Trips Profilfagene udgør stærke interessefællesskaber, som bringer forskellige elever og voksne sammen om en udviklingsproces som er helt unik. Vi oplever, at det vejledende fællesskab, der opstår i mellem elever og voksne på rejsen er det ultimative læringsrum, som for alvor giver eleverne mod og lyst til at tage roret selv videre i livet. De følgende sider giver et øjebliksbillede af de mange P1-profilfagsrejser.

Profile Subjects form strong communities based on interest that bring together different students on a development process that is truly unique. The guiding community continues to grow between students and teachers on their Profile Subject Trips, and that is the ultimate learning space that gives students the courage and desire to determine their future lives.

P1. Adventure I år tog adventure til Norge. Vi boede på outdoorcenteret Trollaktiv i Evje. Her prøvede vi bl.a. SUP-board, Mountainbike, klatring, paintball og riverrafting. Vi boede centralt mellem skov, flod og bjerge, så alle aktiviteterne kunne laves i lokalområdet. Den sidste nat brugte vi på et bjerg i Byglandsfjord 13 kilometer nord for Evje. Fra bjergtoppen så vi både solnedgangen og nordlys.

This year adventure went to Norway. We lived at the outdoorcenter Trollaktiv in Evje. Here we tried many activities such as SUP-boarding, Mountain biking, climbing, paintball and river rafting. We lived centrally between forest, river and mountains so all our activities could be done locally. We spent the last night on a mountain in Byglandsfjord 13 kilometers from Evje. We saw the sunset and the Northen lights from the mountaintop. “I loved how many different things we did. It never got boring.” - Emma, student

HALLOWEEN H AU N TE HAUNTED D H O US EHOUSE Hvis der havde været et skilt ned til vores kælder i Næsby, så kunne det godt ha’ lydt således: Advarsel: Denne kælder er IKKE for sarte sjæle! Hvis du er bange for edderkopper, spøgelser og alt der imellem, så vend om nu! Men hvis du tør udfordre dine egne grænser og få pulsen op, så er vores Halloween-dungeon lige noget for dig. Garanteret sved på panden og høje skrig! Eleverne var nemlig på besøg ude i Næsby til halloween, hvor nogle af vores dygtige lærere havde omdannet vores ellers ret så kedelige kælder, til alt andet end kedelig.

If there had been a sign down to our basement in Næsby, it might well have sounded like this: Warning: This basement is NOT for the faint of heart! If you’re afraid of spiders, ghosts and everything in between, turn back now! But if you dare to challenge your own limits and get your heart rate up, then our Halloween dungeon is for you. Guaranteed to make you sweat and scream! The students were visiting Næsby for Halloween, where some of our talented teachers had transformed our otherwise rather boring basement into anything but boring.

GRANDPARENTS DAY Bedsteforældredagen på Ranum blev en stor succes med godt 600+ besøgende. Bedsteforældrene og et par oldeforældre blev vist rundt af deres barne- og oldebørn, deltog i fællessamling med sang og oplæg om Ranums historie, værdier og aktiviteter. Dagen sluttede med fejring af Mortens aften med andesteg. Det helt store hit på dagen var uden tvivl det kæmpe kaffe og kagebord, som bedsteforældrene havde medbragt og vi har aldrig oplevet så meget kage på Ranum tidligere.

BEDSTEFORÆLDREDAG

The Grandparents Day at Ranum was a great success with 600+ visitors. The grandparents and a few great-grandparents were shown around by their grandchildren and great-grandchildren, participated in a community assembly with singing and presentations about Ranum’s history, values and activities. The big hit of the day was without a doubt the huge coffee and cake table brought by the grandparents and we have never seen so much cake at Ranum before. 10.11.2024

Little Nobel Prize at Johannes V. Jensen Museum in Farse. 2nd and 3rd place.

I Lørdags var der prisoverrækkelse til den lille Nobel pris på Johannes V. Jensen Museet i Farsø. Her har elever indsendt noveller over temaet “På kanten”. Cecilie og Freya fra Ranum Efterskole fik henholdsvis en 2. og 3. plads med nogle super fine noveller. Elisa, der kom helt fra Amager, løb med 1. prisen for en sjov fortælling med et overraskende plottvist. Stort tillykke til dem alle!

On Saturday there was an award ceremony for the small Nobel Prize at Johannes V. Jensen Museum in Farse. Here, students submitted short stories on the theme “On the edge”. Cecilie and Freya from Ranum Efterskole won 2nd and 3rd place respectively with some super fine short stories. Elisa, who came all the way from Amager, won the 1st prize for a funny story with a surprising plot twist. Congratulations to them all!

Efter prisoverrækkelsen holdt Kim Blæsbjerg, der netop er aktuel med romanen “De bedste familier” – der for øvrigt har fået prisen De Gyldne Laurbær – en meget spændende tale om bl.a. research i forhold til Cheminova (der er romanens emne) og de arbejdsprocesser han bruger som forfatter. Tak til museet for et fint arrangement.

After the award ceremony, Kim Blæsbjerg, who has just published the novel “The Best Families” - which has also won the Golden Laurel Award - gave a very interesting speech about, among other things, research in relation to Cheminova (the subject of the novel) and the work processes he uses as an author. Thanks to the museum for a great event

FOOTBALL REFEREE TRAINEES

FODBOLDDOMMERASPIRANTERNE

Fodbolddommeraspiranterne spændte på eksamen tirsdag. Dommeraspiranterne er gennem deres teoriundervisning og forbereder sig nu individuelt frem mod deres eksamen tirsdag. De sidste 4 dage har været meget lærerige og fulde af spørgsmål, debatter og individuel udvikling som dommer. Efter, forhåbentlig, bestået eksamen skal eleverne igennem 3 udviklingskampe før de er endeligt uddannede som fodbolddommere. Stor tak til vores instruktør fra DBU(Stig), som har været fremragende til elevgruppen.

The trainee judges have completed their theory lessons and are now preparing individually for their exam on Tuesday. The last 4 days have been very educational and full of questions, debates and individual development as a referee. After, hopefully, passing the exam, the students will go through 3 development matches before they are finally trained as football referees. A big thank you to our instructor from DBU (Stig), who has been excellent with the student group.

W RITE FOR RIG H T S Engelskklassen har skrevet breve som en del af Amnesty Internationals kampagne »Write for Rights«. Man skriver breve til mennesker, hvis menneskerettigheder er blevet krænket, hvilket ofte resulterer i uretfærdig fængsling. Man skriver for at give dem håb og en fortaler for deres sag. De studerende har også skrevet breve til de regeringer og præsidenter, der har ansvaret for disse aktioner, for at kræve løsladelse og retfærdighed inden for de universelle menneskerettigheder.

The English class has written letters as a part of Amnesty International’s campaign “Write for Rights”. You write letters to people, whose human rights have been violated, often resulting in unjust imprisonment. You write to offer them hope and an advocate for their cause. The students have also written letters to the governments and presidents in charge of these actions to demand release and justice within the universal human rights. 04.12.2024

CH RIS T M A S CL OSING Rengøring, krybbespil, nisser og “Nu det jul igen” gennem hele skolen er et pakket program, men på skolen er der som altid gang i den. Efter rengøringen kom eleverne over frokost i den lokale kirke, hvor skolens julekor sang julen ind. Herefter samledes eleverne for at opleve skolens lærere i et krybbespil, hvilket var en stor succes blandt eleverne – der blev i hvert fald grinet. Vinderne af årets julekonkurrencer blev afsløret, og så startede den traditionelle “Nu det jul igen” kæde gennem hele skolen, der endte i skolegården med æbleskiver, slik, og besøg af julemanden i hans kane.

Cleaning, nativity scenes, elves and “Now it’s Christmas again” throughout the school is a packed programme, but the school is as busy as ever. After cleaning, the students gathered during lunch at the local church, where the school Christmas choir sang Christmas carols. The students then gathered to watch the school’s teachers put on a nativity play, which was a great success with the students - there was certainly a lot of laughter. The winners of this year’s Christmas competitions were revealed, and then the traditional “Now it’s Christmas again” chain started throughout the school, ending in the schoolyard with apple slices, sweets, and a visit from Father Christmas in his sleigh.

Temarejserne Vinterliv med Skiløb i Norden eller Kultur i en storby giver mulighed for at samle eleverne på tværs af alle huse og fag om fælles undervisning og dannelsesmål. Det styrker elevernes sammenhold og giver en fælles reference i opholdet. Derfor rejser vi på fællesrejser til Prag og Skiløb i Norden i de kommende år. Fællesrejsen er inkluderet i skolepengene, da budgettet er ens for alle. The theme trips Winter Life with Skiing in the Nordic countries or Big City Culture provides an opportunity to gather students across all houses and subjects around common teaching and educational goals. It strengthens the students’ sense of unity and provides a common reference point during their stay. This is why we will be travelling to Prague and Skiing in the Nordic countries again in the coming years. The joint trip is included in the school fees, as the budget is the same for everyone.

Skituren til Stöten blev en uge fuld af sne, fart og fællesskab. Vejret tog os på eventyr – med snevejr midt i dagen og sneede grillpladser måtte frokosten hurtigt gentænkes. Alligevel var humøret højt, skiløberne flittige og køkkenet kreativt. Vi samledes om pandekagebagning, brætspil og hygge efter en dag i sneen. Sidste dag bød på farvel til både pister og værelser – trætte og glade satte vi kursen hjem, fulde af vinterliv og minder.

The ski trip to Stöten was a week of snow, speed, and togetherness. The weather kept us on our toes — when the grills were buried in snow, the kitchen quickly improvised. Still, spirits were high, the skiers determined, and the pancakes delicious. After days on the slopes, we gathered for games and cozy evenings. On the final day, we said goodbye to the snow and our rooms — tired but happy, heading home with memories of winter fun and strong friendships.

Stöten gave us a week full of snow, speed, and togetherness. Although the weather challenged us at times with heavy snowfall and snow-covered grill areas, the mood stayed high – both on the slopes and back at the cabins. Many threw themselves into skiing with great energy, whether it was their first time or not. Others enjoyed the peaceful scenery and quiet moments in the mountains. In the evenings, we gathered for pancake-making, games, and hot cocoa – and the conversations flowed in the way they only do when you’re away from home and close together. It was a week filled with cold cheeks, tired legs, and warm laughter. A trip where we returned not only with sore muscles, but also with new memories and friendships to carry with us.

Stöten bød på masser af sne, fart og fællesskab. Selvom vejret til tider udfordrede os med snevejr midt på dagen og grillpladser begravet i sne, holdt humøret sig højt – både på pisterne og hjemme i hytterne. Mange kastede sig ud i skiløb med gåpåmod og god energi, uanset om det var første gang på ski eller ej. Andre nød udsigten og den rolige stemning i fjeldet. Om aftenen samledes vi til pandekagebagning, spil og varm kakao – og snakken gik, som den kun gør, når man er væk hjemmefra og tæt sammen. Det blev en uge fyldt med kolde kinder, trætte ben og varme grin. En tur med nye venskaber, og en oplevelse de aldrig glemmer, med hjem i rygsækken.

Prag-rejsen bød på alt fra middelaldermagi til moderne møder. Vi vandrede gennem brostensbelagte gader, så det ikoniske astronomiske ur og oplevede Prags rige historie – både den smukke og den mørke – med besøg i Theresienstadt og Kommunismemuseet. Undervejs mødte vi lokale elever, udvekslede tanker med vores pennevenner og klædte os fint på til en aften med Romeo & Julie i Nationalteatret. En rejse, hvor både kultur, fællesskab og eftertænksomhed satte spor.

The Prague trip offered everything from medieval magic to modern encounters. We wandered cobbled streets, admired the iconic Astronomical Clock, and explored Prague’s rich and complex history — both the beautiful and the dark parts — including powerful visits to Theresienstadt and the Museum of Communism. Along the way, we met local students, connected with our pen pals, and dressed up for an unforgettable night at the National Theatre to see Romeo & Juliet. A journey full of culture, reflection, and shared experiences.

We began the trip with sightseeing in Prague, visiting Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, and the famous Astronomical Clock. We explored the National Museum and enjoyed the Christmas market. The next day we visited Theresienstadt – a powerful and emotional experience that left a lasting impression. In the evening, we could choose between relaxing, exploring the city, or ice skating.

Turen startede med sightseeing i Prag, hvor vi så bl.a. Prags borg, Karlsbroen og det berømte astronomiske ur. Vi besøgte Nationalmuseet og nød julemarkedet. Næste dag gik turen til Theresienstadt – en stærk og følelsesladet oplevelse, som vil blive husket længe. Om aftenen kunne man vælge mellem hygge, natteliv eller skøjteløb.

Vi besøgte Archbishop Grammar School, hvor lokale elever viste os rundt, og vi mødte vores pennevenner til fælles opgaver og gode snakke. Om aftenen tog vi i Nationalteatret og så balletten Romeo & Julie. Alle var klædt pænt på, og for mange var det første gang til ballet – en mindeværdig oplevelse.

Under jorden oplevede vi Prags skjulte bydele og fik senere indsigt i kommunismens tid.

Med stor kreativitet og omhu formede eleverne inspirerende citater ud af brød og lagde dem ud foran skolen. Denne simple, men geniale idé kombinerede kunstnerisk udtryk, positive budskaber og omsorg for naturen. Blandt de hjertevarmende citater kunne man finde: “Live, laugh, love” “Good things take time” “You look good” “God dag” “Smil <3” “Sov 8 timer” 212

Både på dansk og engelsk spredte disse brødkunstværker smil og eftertanke blandt forbipasserende, før de blev et festmåltid for de lokale fugle. Denne morgenaktivitet er et perfekt eksempel på, hvad vores Art & Design-fag står for: Udvikling af elevernes evne til at kommunikere visuelt, fremme af kreativ tænkning og innovation samt opmuntring til at se verden gennem et mere farverigt og positivt prisme. Vi er utrolig stolte af vores Art & Design-elever og deres evne til at se muligheder for at gøre verden lidt smukkere og mere tankevækkende – selv i noget så simpelt som et stykke brød.

WELCOME TO OUR AFS GUESTS

VELKOMMEN TIL VORES AFS GÆSTER

Internationale venskaber blomstrer Onsdag aften mødtes vores AFS-studerende fra Argentina, New Zealand, Australien og Indien med deres danske værtsfamilier for weekenden. Det var en glæde at se, hvordan alle hurtigt faldt i snak og begyndte at lære hinanden at kende. De unge fik mulighed for at opleve dansk hverdagsliv på tætteste hold. Vi vil gerne sige en stor tak til alle de familier, der åbnede deres hjem for vores internationale gæster. I gav dem en unik mulighed for at opleve dansk kultur indefra.

International friendships flourish On Wednesday evening, our AFS students from Argentina, New Zealand, Australia, and India met with their Danish host families for the weekend. It was a joy to see how everyone quickly got chatting and began getting to know each other. These young people had the opportunity to experience everyday Danish life up close. We would like to say a big thank you to all the families who opened their homes to our international guests. You gave them a unique opportunity to experience Danish culture from the inside. 16.01.2025

Creative morning start: Art & Design spreads joy with bread art - On Friday morning, our school got off to a special start thanks to our talented Art & Design team. In a charming and thought-provoking happening, the students created a unique form of ephemeral art that not only nourishes the soul, but also our feathered friends. With great creativity and care, students moulded inspirational quotes out of bread and placed them in front of the school. This simple but brilliant idea combined artistic expression, positive messages and care for nature. Among the heartwarming quotes were: “Live, laugh, love” “Good things take time” “You look good” “Good day” “Smile <3” “Sleep 8 hours”

In both Danish and English, these bread artworks spread smiles and reflection among passers-by before becoming a feast for the local birds. This morning activity is a perfect example of what our Art & Design subject stands for: developing students’ ability to communicate visually, promoting creative thinking and innovation, and encouraging them to see the world through a more colourful and positive prism. We are incredibly proud of our Art & Design students and their ability to see opportunities to make the world a little more beautiful and thoughtful - even in something as simple as a piece of bread. 17.01.2025

Bagværk og fællesskab: 0. og 1. klasse fra Vilsted Friskole solgte kager til klassekassen Det blev en sød og velduftende dag på Ranum Efterskole College, da 0. og 1. klasse fra Vilsted Friskole stod klar med hjemmebagte lækkerier i lange baner – alt sammen for at samle penge ind til deres klassekasse, som de skal bruge på en udlandstur i 8. klasse.

BAG VÆ RK & FÆ L L E SS K A B

Baked goods and community: 0th and 1st graders from Vilsted Friskole sold cakes for the class fund It was a sweet and fragrant day at Ranum Efterskole College when Class 0 and 1 from Vilsted Friskole arrived with homemade treats galore – all to raise money for their class fund, which they plan to use for a trip abroad in Year 8.

Børnene havde selv bagt kagerne og stod smilende klar til at sælge dem til elever og ansatte. Der var alt fra muffins og cookies til farverigt pyntede brownies, og det hele blev hurtigt spist, mens folk hyggede sig og støttede det gode formål.

The children had baked the cakes themselves and cheerfully sold them to students and staff. From muffins and cookies to brownies with colourful decorations, everything was quickly enjoyed as people gathered, chatted, and supported the good cause.

Anledningen var, at deres lærere var på kursus, så de yngste fik en anderledes skoledag med både kagesalg og et lille indblik i efterskolelivet på Ranum.

They were visiting because their teachers were away on a course, giving them a different kind of school day – complete with cake sales and a little glimpse of life at Ranum.

Det var en hyggelig oplevelse, og vi ønsker dem held og lykke med at samle penge ind til deres kommende rejse – vi glæder os til at høre om deres eventyr!

It was a lovely experience, and we wish them the best of luck in raising money for their upcoming trip. We look forward to hearing about their adventures!

Casino Weekend: an enchanting evening! Imagine 130 young people turning Ranum Efterskole College into a mini-Las Vegas for a weekend. This Saturday night was unlike any other - it was CASINO NIGHT!

Poker face & vilde indsatser Aftenens højdepunkt var uden tvivl No Limit Texas Hold’em. Eleverne dystede med “poker face” værdigt for en World Series of Poker-deltager. Nogle var så dybt koncentrerede, at man kunne høre en knappenål falde, mens andre grinte så meget, at deres “bluff” blev afsløret på et øjeblik!

Poker face & wild bets The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly No Limit Texas Hold‘em. The students competed with a poker face worthy of a World Series of Poker competitor. Some were so deep in concentration that you could hear a pin drop, while others were laughing so hard that their bluff was called in an instant!

Roulette-hjulets magi Ved roulette-bordet herskede en elektrisk stemning af forventning og spænding. Røde og sorte chips fløj hen over bordet, mens eleverne råbte og jublede ved hver drejning. “SORT 17!” rungede gennem hele salen.

The magic of the roulette wheel At the roulette table, the atmosphere was electric with anticipation and excitement. Red and black chips flew across the table as students shouted and cheered with every spin. “BLACK 17!” resounded throughout the hall.

Men det var ikke kun sjov og leg. Bag facaden lå der værdifuld læring, hvor eleverne øvede sig på: strategisk tænkning, psykologisk forståelse, risikostyring og at samarbejde som et fællesskab. Konklusion? Casino Weekend var mere end bare spil; det var en aften fyldt med latter, venskab og uforglemmelige øjeblikke.

But it wasn’t all just fun and games. Behind the scenes, there was valuable learning taking place, as students practiced strategic thinking, psychological insight, risk management, and working together as a team. The conclusion? Casino Weekend was more than just games – it was an evening filled with laughter, friendship, and unforgettable moments.

P.S. Hvem vandt egentlig? Svaret er simpelt: Det gjorde vi alle sammen!

P.S. Who actually won? The answer is simple: We all did! 17.01.2025

MINDETRØJE

MEMORY SHIRT

Mindetrøjen 2024/2025 – Et særligt minde fra vores efterskoleår Mindetrøjen er en af de traditioner, der virkelig samler Ranum-eleverne. De første navne er allerede blevet skrevet på årets trøje for 2024/2025, og endnu en fælles fortælling er begyndt at tage form. Mere end blot en trøje Mindetrøjen er ikke bare et stykke tøj – den er et symbol på det fællesskab og den rejse, eleverne deler i løbet af deres efterskoleår. Hvert navn på trøjen repræsenterer en oplevelse, et venskab eller en begivenhed, der har været med til at forme året. Trøjen bliver et konkret minde, man kan tage med sig og vende tilbage til, længe efter året er slut. Hvorfor er mindetrøjen så speciel? I en tid, hvor mange minder gemmes digitalt, tilbyder mindetrøjen noget fysisk og varigt. Den samler alle navne ét sted og bliver et stærkt symbol på sammenholdet i årgangen. Trøjen forbinder eleverne med tidligere årgange og er med til at videreføre en vigtig tradition i Ranums historie – én der rækker ud over det enkelte år og skaber en følelse af at høre til noget større. Til alle nuværende elever Husk at få skrevet dit navn på trøjen. Du har mulighed for det frem til slutningen af næste uge, og det tager kun få øjeblikke. Mange vælger at tilføje et lille symbol ved siden af deres navn – noget personligt, der måske minder dem om en rejse, et fag eller en oplevelse, der har sat sig særligt fast.

The commemorative shirt 2024/2025 - A special memory from our efterskole year The memory shirt is one of the traditions that truly brings Ranum students together. The first names have already been written on this year’s shirt, and a new shared story is beginning to take shape. More than just a shirt The memory shirt isn’t just a piece of clothing – it’s a symbol of the community and journey students share during their efterskole year. Each name represents an experience, a friendship, or a moment that helped shape the year. The shirt becomes a physical reminder you can hold onto and look back on long after the school year ends. Why is the commemorative shirt so special? In a time where most memories are saved digitally, the memory shirt offers something physical and lasting. It gathers all the names in one place and stands as a strong symbol of togetherness. The shirt connects current students with past year groups and carries on a tradition that stretches beyond a single year, creating a sense of belonging to something greater. To all current students Don’t forget to write your name on the shirt. You have until the end of next week, and it only takes a moment. Many choose to add a small symbol next to their name – something personal that reminds them of a trip, a subject, or a meaningful moment from the year.

Til forældre og interesserede Mindetrøjen giver jer som forældre et lille indblik i den verden, jeres barn er en del af her på Ranum. Den viser, hvem de har delt hverdagen med, hvilke relationer og oplevelser der har formet deres år, og hvad det vil sige at være en del af efterskolefællesskabet.

For parents and interested parties The memory shirt offers a unique glimpse into the world your child is part of here at Ranum. It shows who they’ve shared their everyday life with, the friendships they’ve formed, and the many experiences that have shaped their year.

En trøje fuld af historier Om 10, 20 eller 30 år vil trøjen stadig vække minder. Et blik på navnene kan bringe billeder frem af grin i spisesalen, spændende rejser til fremmede lande, nye og gamle venskaber, kreative udfoldelser i kulturfagene – og alle de andre øjeblikke, der gjorde efterskoleåret helt særligt.

A shirt full of stories In 10, 20, or 30 years, the shirt will still spark memories. A glance at the names may bring back moments of laughter in the dining hall, exciting journeys abroad, friendships both new and old, creative projects in profile classes – and all the other things that made the efterskole year truly special.

Ranum Efterskole College afholdt den 29. januar 2025 en AFS-aften, der markerede en måneds ophold for udvekslingselever fra fire forskellige lande: Indien, Argentina, New Zealand og Australien.

New Zealand og Australien præsenterer deres kultur New Zealand og Australien havde hver især en stand, hvor de præsenterede deres unikke nationale kultur og værdier. New Zealands stand fremhævede landets kernebegreber som venlighed, opfindsomhed og åbenhed. Eleverne kunne lære om Kiwi-kulturen, der værdsætter ydmyghed og global bevidsthed.

Denne begivenhed fyldte skolen med en mangfoldighed af kulturelle oplevelser og gav de øvrige elever mulighed for at udforske nye verdener.

Australiens stand gav indblik i landets mangfoldige kultur, der er stærkt påvirket af anglo-keltisk vestlig kultur, men også har udviklet sine egne særpræg. Besøgende kunne opdage Australiens rige sportskultur, musikscene og den unikke udendørs livsstil, der præger landet.

Argentinsk musik og fodboldkultur Argentina stod i centrum med hele tre koncerter, der bragte sydamerikansk rytme og energi til efterskolen. En særlig attraktion var muligheden for at skrive sin signatur på en argentinsk fodboldtrøje, hvilket vakte begejstring blandt mange elever og gav et unikt indblik i landets fodboldkultur. Indisk dans og traditioner De indiske elever bidrog med en farverig og fascinerende opvisning af traditionel indisk dans.

Krea Weekend på Ranum Efterskole College var en weekend fyldt med kreativitet, hvor eleverne fordybede sig i forskellige kreative aktiviteter. Der blev lavet smykker, vævet armbånd og eksperimenteret med perler, farver og mønstre. Stemningen var hyggelig og afslappet, hvilket gav plads til både koncentration og gode snakke.

Krea Weekend at Ranum Efterskole College was a weekend filled with creativity, where students immersed themselves in various creative activities. They made jewellery, wove bracelets, and experimented with beads, colours, and patterns. The atmosphere was cosy and relaxed, leaving room for both concentration and good conversation.

Mange elever kastede sig ud i smykkefremstilling, hvor de lavede deres egne unikke designs. Perler blev sorteret, snore flettet og små detaljer blev nøje tilpasset. Det var en skøn blanding af kreativitet og fællesskab, hvor idéer blev delt, og inspirationen flød frit.

Many students threw themselves into jewellery making, creating their own unique designs. Beads were sorted, cords were braided, and small details were carefully customised. It was a wonderful mix of creativity and community, where ideas were shared and inspiration flowed freely.

Krea Weekend var dog ikke kun for de kreative projekter. Nogle elever brugte også tiden på at slappe af, spille spil og nyde en rolig weekend sammen med vennerne. Musik spillede i baggrunden, og stemningen var præget af grin og gode samtaler.

Krea Weekend wasn’t just for the creative projects though. Some students also spent their time relaxing, playing games, and enjoying a quiet weekend with friends. Music played in the background and the atmosphere was characterised by laughter and good conversation.

Eleverne udforskede, hvordan energi skabes og bruges gennem både historiske og moderne perspektiver. De testede blandt andet, hvor meget energi de kunne generere ved at dreje på et vindmøllehjul og undersøgte effekten af vindhastighed på små vindmøller. Der blev også eksperimenteret med brændselsceller og elektricitet gennem interaktive stationer. Museet gav også et indblik i både fortidens kraftværker og fremtidens energiløsninger, hvilket understregede vigtigheden af bæredygtighed. Visiting the Energy Museum - a day of learning and experimentation Year 9 went on a field trip to the Energy Museum in Bjerringbro for a day of learning, hands-on experiments, and a deeper understanding of energy, power, and sustainability. Students explored how energy is created and used through both historical and modern perspectives. They tested how much energy they could generate by turning a windmill wheel and investigated the effect of wind speed on small wind turbines. They also experimented with fuel cells and electricity through interactive stations. The museum also provided an insight into both the power plants of the past and the energy solutions of the future, emphasising the importance of sustainability.

I februar havde Ranum Efterskole College besøg af Frederik og Jeppe, der holdt et tankevækkende oplæg med titlen “En dagligdag som snusforbruger”. Frederik, en 22-årig tidligere efterskoleelev fra Slagelse, delte sin personlige historie om, hvordan hans brug af snus gik fra at være en hyggelig vane til at blive en fast del af hverdagen. Han fortalte ærligt om de konsekvenser, afhængigheden havde for hans liv, hvordan han begyndte at skjule sit forbrug, og hvor svært det var at bryde ud af vanen. Oplægget satte fokus på den stigende brug af snus og puffbars blandt unge og de sundhedsmæssige konsekvenser, som mange måske undervurderer. Frederik og Jeppe gav et indblik i, hvordan nikotin hurtigt kan blive en vane, og hvorfor det ofte starter allerede i folkeskolen. Frederik og Jeppe efterlod et stærkt indtryk på eleverne, som fik mulighed for at reflektere over deres egne valg og vaner. Oplægget skabte også en vigtig samtale om unges forhold til nikotin og afhængighed, både blandt eleverne og lærerne.

In February, Ranum Efterskole College was visited by Frederik and Jeppe, who gave a thought-provoking presentation entitled “The daily life as a snuff consumer”. Frederik, a 22-year-old former efterskole student from Slagelse, shared his personal story of how his snuff use went from a cosy habit to a regular part of everyday life. He spoke honestly about the impact the addiction had on his life, how he started hiding his use, and how difficult it was to break out of the habit. The presentation focused on the increasing use of snuff and puffbars among young people and the health consequences that many may underestimate. Frederik and Jeppe gave an insight into how nicotine can quickly become a habit and why it often starts in primary school. Frederik and Jeppe left a strong impression on the students, who had the opportunity to reflect on their own choices and habits. The presentation also created an important conversation about young people’s relationship with nicotine and addiction, both among students and teachers.

JAG T T EG N

Ranum Efterskole College tilbyder et bredt udvalg af fag, herunder jagttegn, hvor eleverne lærer om jagtens mange aspekter. Som en del af denne undervisning fik eleverne for nylig en praktisk lektion i håndtering af vildt, herunder fasaner. Michael, en erfaren instruktør, ledte denne “hands-on” session med stor ekspertise. Han demonstrerede processen med at partere fasanen, så den kan fryses ned eller gøres klar til brug i madlavning. Efter den grundige gennemgang fik eleverne mulighed for at prøve kræfter med processen selv. Det er en vigtig erfaring at få, hvis og når man selv står i den situation, at man har nedlagt vildt. Eks. en fasan. Ranum Efterskole College offers a wide range of subjects, including hunting licences, where students learn about the many aspects of hunting. As part of this training, students were recently given a practical lesson in handling game, including pheasants. Michael, an experienced instructor, led this hands-on session with great expertise. He demonstrated the process of trimming the pheasant so it can be frozen or prepared for use in cooking. After the thorough briefing, the students were given the opportunity to try the process themselves. This is an important experience to gain if and when you find yourself in the situation where you have hunted game. For example, a pheasant.

CRU M BL E COOKIE S Kreativ hygge med Crumble Cookies Mandag blev køkkenet forvandlet til et kreativt bageri, da eleverne dekorerede deres egne Crumble Cookies. Med et stort udvalg af glasurer, toppings og knasende sprøde småkager var der rig mulighed for at slippe fantasien løs. Stemningen var hyggelig og resultatet? Lækre småkager og kreativitet! Dette er en collage af, hvad der blev tilberedt fra elevernes side. På billedet ses der chokolade- og sukkercookies samt chokolade og jordbær frosting. Man ser også billeder af seks forskellige krymmel valgmuligheder. Mums! Creative fun with Crumble Cookies On Monday, the kitchen was transformed into a creative bakery as students decorated their own Crumble Cookies. With a large selection of icings, toppings, and crunchy crispy cookies, there was plenty of opportunity to let your imagination run wild. The atmosphere was cosy and the result? Delicious cookies and creativity! This is a collage of what was prepared by the students. Pictured are chocolate and sugar cookies, as well as chocolate and strawberry frosting.

Hypnose – virker det eller er det bluff? Mandag aften fik eleverne en oplevelse ud over det sædvanlige, da hypnotisøren Lasse Kvist lagde vejen forbi Ranum. Fra det øjeblik han trådte på scenen, blev eleverne fanget af hans energi og fascinationen af hypnose.

Hypnosis - does it work or is it a scam? On Monday evening, the students had an experience out of the ordinary when hypnotist Lasse Kvist visited Ranum. From the moment he stepped on stage, the students were captured by his energy and the fascination with hypnosis.

Flere modige elever meldte sig frivilligt til at blive hypnotiseret – og snart var de i en tilstand, hvor de udførte de mest utrolige og morsomme handlinger. Nogle kunne pludselig ikke huske deres eget navn, mens andre blev overbevist om, at de sad fast i deres stol eller var verdens bedste danser.

Several brave students volunteered to be hypnotised - and soon they were in a state where they performed the most incredible and amusing acts. Some suddenly couldn’t remember their own name, while others became convinced they were stuck in their chair or the best dancer in the world.

Tak til Lasse Kvist for at give os en aften, vi aldrig glemmer!

Thanks to Lasse Kvist for giving us a night we’ll never forget!

På dette billede ses Lasse Kvist med en række siddende elever bag sig. Historien bag er, at han nævnte et navn; i dette tilfælde var det ‘Magnus’. Idet han sagde det, rakte Magnus begge hænder op i vejret, da han var hypnotiseret Derefter takkede Lasse for at få muligheden af at præsentere et fantastisk show overfor Ranum Efterskole College. 228

This picture shows Lasse Kvist with a number of students seated behind him. The story behind it is that he mentions a name; in this case it was ‘Magnus’.

Denne uge har eleverne været dybt fokuserede, da terminsprøverne har fyldt skemaet. I hallen har der været en helt særlig stemning af koncentration og seriøsitet, mens eleverne har knoklet for at vise, hvad de har lært. Både 9. og 10. klasse har været igennem prøver i dansk, engelsk og matematik. Vores IGCSE-elever har også haft travlt med eksamensforberedelse og prøver i fag som IGCSE English, Maths og IGCSE-valgfag. Cambridge IGCSE er en internationalt anerkendt uddannelse, der giver eleverne et stærkt akademisk fundament og forbereder dem til videregående studier – både i Danmark og i resten af verden. Terminsprøverne er en vigtig milepæl, og vi er stolte af elevernes indsats! Vi håber, at de nu kan trække vejret lidt lettere og føle sig tilfredse med deres præstationer. Flot arbejde! Dette er et panorama billede, som viser alle elever tilstede under den danske terminsprøve.

This week the students have been deeply focused as final exams have filled the timetable. There has been a special atmosphere of concentration and seriousness in the hall as the students have worked hard to show what they have learnt. Both 9th and 10th grade students have been sitting exams in Danish, English and maths. Our IGCSE students have also been busy with exam preparation and tests in subjects such as IGCSE English, Maths, and IGCSE electives. Cambridge IGCSE is an internationally recognised qualification that gives students a strong academic foundation and prepares them for higher education - both in Denmark and around the world. The final exams are an important milestone and we are proud of the students’ efforts! We hope they can now breathe a little easier and feel satisfied with their achievements. Well done! This is a panoramic image showing all students present during the Danish midterm.

Det kunne måske forstås sådan, at man ikke må rejse længere, men det er heldigvis ikke tilfældet, og vi stopper ikke med at sende unge ud i verden. Vi vil arbejde for, at der ikke er en politisk regulering, som skal begrænse teenageres længsel og drømme om at udforske verden. At rejse er at leve – og man skal være ualmindelig reguleringsnaiv for at tro, at man kan tage den drøm fra de unge, men vi skal naturligvis arbejde for at give alle den bedste adgang til eventyret. Det gør vi også på Ranum!

R A N U M IN DA NIS H M E DIA In week 10 Ranum Efterskole College were in the media regarding the Wellbeing Commission’s recommendation to regulate the travelling activities of independent schools. This could be understood to mean that travelling is no longer allowed, but fortunately this is not the case, and we will not stop sending young people out into the world. We will work to ensure that there is no political regulation that will limit teenagers’ longing and dreams of exploring the world. Travelling is living - and you’d have to be extremely regulation-averse to think you can take that dream away from young people, but of course we must work to give everyone the best access to adventure. We do that at Ranum too!

Denne aktivitet var en del af skolens kulturfagsundervisning, der fokuserer på at bringe internationale traditioner og smage ind i hverdagen. En kulinarisk rejse gennem Argentina Empanadas er en klassisk ret fra det argentinske køkken, kendt for deres sprøde dej og fyld af krydret kød eller grøntsager. Eleverne arbejdede sammen i små grupper og fulgte opskrifter, der krævede både præcision og kreativitet. De rullede dej, tilberedte fyld og foldede de små halvmåneformede tærter med stor omhu.

An authentic Argentinian atmosphere was created at Ranum Efterskole when students from the Argentina team took to the kitchen and made delicious empanadas. This activity was part of the school’s cultural subject teaching, which focuses on bringing international traditions and flavours into everyday life. A culinary journey through Argentina Empanadas are a classic dish from Argentinian cuisine, known for their crispy dough and filling of spicy meat or vegetables.

Denne dag stod den på japansk kampsport, da Japan-holdet fik en introduktion til både karate og sumobrydning.

This week the focus was on Japanese martial arts as the Japan team got an introduction to both karate and sumo wrestling.

Vores tidligere kollega, Annemette, besøgte skolen for at undervise eleverne i karate. Her lærte de grundlæggende teknikker og en ‘kata’ – en sekvens af bevægelser, der kræver både præcision og fokus.

Our former colleague, Annemette, visited the school to teach the students karate. Here they learnt basic techniques and a ‘kata’ - a sequence of movements that requires both precision and focus.

Efterfølgende blev det tid til en noget tungere disciplin – sumobrydning. Iført oppustelige sumodragter dystede eleverne i ringen, hvor det gjaldt om at skubbe modstanderen ud eller ned. Kampene bød på både spænding og masser af grin, mens tilskuerne heppede fra sidelinjen.

Afterwards, it was time for a somewhat heavier discipline - sumo wrestling. Wearing inflatable sumo suits, the students competed in the ring and had to push their opponent out or down. The matches offered both excitement and lots of laughs as the spectators cheered from the sidelines. 31.01.2025

For nogle var det første gang, de arbejdede med ler, mens andre finpudsede deres teknikker. Snart skulle de rejse til Marokko, hvor de ville opleve landets rige keramiktraditioner og møde lokale håndværkere.

CE R A MIC S W ITH MOROCCO The workshop buzzed with concentration as students shaped soft lumps of clay into handmade bowls. With their hands covered in the cool material, they experimented with traditional techniques and learned to use the pottery wheel. For some, it was their first time working with clay, while others refined their skills. Soon, they were set to travel to Morocco to experience the country’s rich pottery traditions and meet local artisans.

RU N NING FO R N A MIBIA Sveden perlede på panden, og åndedrættet var tungt, men eleverne fortsatte ufortrødent. De løb ikke kun for sig selv, men for en større sag – et sponsorløb til fordel for projekter i Namibia. Runde efter runde blev der heppet fra sidelinjen, mens hver kilometer blev omsat til støtte fra sponsorer, som havde bidraget til elevernes indsats. Løbet var en del af forberedelserne til kulturfaget, hvor en gruppe snart skulle rejse til Namibia for at opleve landets kultur og deltage i lokalt samarbejde. Her skulle de besøge skoler, møde lokalsamfund og få et indblik i hverdagen for de mennesker, de løb for. Selvom benene blev tunge, og trætheden meldte sig, var motivationen stærk – hvert skridt bragte dem tættere på deres mål, både sportsligt og humanitært.

L Ø B FOR N A MIBIA Sweat beaded on their foreheads, and their breathing was heavy, but the students pushed on. They weren’t just running for themselves—they were running for a greater cause: A charity run to support projects in Namibia. Lap after lap, cheers from the sidelines kept them going, as every kilometer translated into donations from sponsors backing their efforts. The run was part of their preparations for the cultural subject, where a group was soon set to travel to Namibia to experience the country’s culture and engage in local collaborations. They would visit schools, meet local communities, and gain insight into the daily lives of the people they were running for. As their legs grew heavy and exhaustion set in, their motivation remained strong—every step brought them closer to their goal, both athletically and humanitarianly.

Vi blev mødt af varme smil, palmer og frodige rismarker. Vi lavede håndværk med lokale kvinder, lavede mad med friske ingredienser fra markedet og lærte at bære traditionelle offerskåle med ynde. Vi plantede koralrev ved kysten, svedte i rismarken og vandrede op ad grønklædte vulkaner med udsigt over junglen. Vi besøgte lokale skoler, lærte balinesisk hverdagsliv at kende og mærkede roen på en helt anden måde. Undervejs voksede fællesskabet – og vi tog hjem med nye perspektiver, stærke minder og et stykke af Bali i hjertet. We were met with warm smiles, palm trees, and lush green rice fields. We did traditional crafts with local women, cooked with fresh ingredients from the market, and learned to carry Balinese offerings with grace. We planted coral reefs along the coast, sweated in the rice paddies, and hiked greencovered volcanoes with views over the jungle. We visited local schools, experienced daily Balinese life, and slowed down to a calmer rhythm. Along the way, our sense of community grew – and we returned home with new perspectives, lasting memories, and a little piece of Bali in our hearts.

Bali – en tur ,l gudernes ø Tæ$e venskaber, uforglemmelige oplevelser og et nyt perspek8v på livet – tre 8ng, jeg uden tvivl vil tage med mig hjem fra Bali. Denne rejse har været som ingen anden. Ikke kun på grund af den betagende natur, de venlige mennesker og de unikke ak8viteter, men også fordi jeg har fået et indblik i, hvor anderledes verden kan se ud. Filippa Moure Krogsdam Da vi endelig træder ud af luChavnen, bliver vi mødt af den tropiske regn, der pisker ned. Man kunne nemt miste modet, men ingen i gruppen havde svært ved at ﬁnde skønheden i regnen, der faldt over de ekso8ske planter og palmer, blandet med den hinduis8ske tempelarkitektur. Stemningen var fyldt med forventning.

Turen bød på mange fantas8ske oplevelser, men én 8ng stod klart: Bali lever op 8l sit navn som "Gudernes Ø". Øen har en overdådig, smuk natur, og den står i skarp kontrast 8l den, vi kender hjemmefra. Vi ﬁk mudder 8l knæene i rismarkerne under Balis bagende sol. Vi besøgte Monkey Forest - en frodig regnskov med frække aber, der havde overtaget både skovens træer og de ruiner, der stammer fra gamle templer. Og ikke mindst badede vi i et magisk vandfald. Den 21. marts, klokken tre om morgenen, kører vi mod vulkanen Mount Batur. Vi s8ger ud i mørket, og begynder i små grupper ops8gningen med pandelamper og gå på mod. På vej op møder vi hur8gt to piger på omkring 7 år. De spørger lidt ind 8l os, og virker som de to sødeste små piger. Jeg kan dog ikke lade hver med at undre mig over, hvorfor de beﬁnder sig alene på en vulkan midt om na$en. Undervejs begynder de at række os hånden, for at hjælpe os, og jeg tænker straks på hvordan vi har fået fortalt, at balinesere er utroligt venlige. Men da de fortsæ$er med det hele turen op, slår fornuCen ned i mig. De forventer selvfølgelig betaling for det.

260

Der går det virkelig op for mig, hvor nemt man glemmer, at selvom vi har den dejligste turistoplevelse i Bali, så er hverdagslivet hårdt for mange af indbyggerne. De lever af turismen – og måske lever de ikke engang særlig godt af den. De små piger har ikke en aCale med os på forhånd, men har selvfølgelig en forhåbning om, at få noget igen. På vejen funderer jeg over, hvordan jeg ville have det med et job, hvor jeg ikke vidste om jeg fik løn, og hvor der er en uklar aCale om, hvad der egentlig foregår. Pigerne gør det de bliver nødt 8l, for at overleve. Det er klart, at de ikke forsøger at indgå en aCale på forhånd - de ved, at de får afslag. De appellerer i stedet 8l vores følelser og barmhjer8ghed. Det gjorde virkelig et kæmpe indtryk. Vi er gæster i Bali, men alligevel er det os, der har magten i denne situa8on, magten 8l at give de små piger en god eller dårlig dag. Er det reWærdigt? Vi klarer ops8gningen og når toppen. Og wauw. Få minu$er eCer vi sæ$er os på kanten, begynder orange og lyserøde stråler at sprede sig bag vulkanen – et syn jeg aldrig vil glemme. Udsigten og de små piger gjorde begge kæmpe indtryk, og gjorde på hver sin måde turen fantas8sk og enestående. Bali udfordrede os psykisk og fysisk. I et vandtempel deltog vi i et renselsesritual, hvor vi fik mulighed for at rense os selv mentalt. Det var en anderledes og berigende oplevelse. Vi testede også vores balance og armmuskler, da vi surfede på Balis perfekte surfstrande. Armmusklerne fik vi igen brug for, da vi tog på stranden for at samle affald. Iblandt plas8k og skrald fandt vi en lille, nyfødt skildpadde. Vi endte med at redde en skildpaddes liv og samle 220 kg affald. Det var et højdepunkt på turen, ikke kun på grund af den lille skildpadde, men mere følelsen af, at vi kunne give en lille bi$e smule 8lbage 8l det land, som havde givet os så meget. Vi nød at køle af på de smukke strande langs Balis kyster, og det var ikke kun over vandet, at strandende var betagende. På en snorkeltur så vi tusindvis af fisk i alle farver og former, og de smukke koraller strakte sig under havets overflade. Nu er det en uge siden, vi vendte 8lbage 8l skolen, og al8ng får mig 8l at tænke på rejsen. Det er ikke kun de sjove stunder med venner, vi kny$ede bånd med under rejsen, som kører som film i mit hoved igen og igen, men også de dybere indtryk af, hvordan livet leves på Bali. Vi tager så meget for givet herhjemme, og rejsen har virkelig fået mig 8l at reflektere over det. Tak for alt, Bali. Af Filippa Moure Krogsdam

EN UFORGLEMMELIG REJSE - BALI

vores hotel i Ubud

gåtur i gennem junglen

Jeg vil gerne fortælle jer om min kulturfagsrejse til Bali, hvor jeg fik tætknyttede UBUD venskaber, uforglemmelige oplevelser og nyt kendskab til den balinesiske kultur. I løbet af de næste dage var vi ved en landsby, hvor vi skulle lære at lave forskelligt Hvor vi oplevede alt fra kultur, natur, mad, sammenhold og levestil.

balinesisk mad. Det var spændende at se, hvordan de laver mad i Bali, og de brugte metoder, jeg aldrig havde set før. Vi var i Monkey Forest, som var noget, jeg altid godt gad prøve. Vi stod op kl. et om natten for at bestige en vulkan, som hedder REJSEN DERNED Mount Batur, i bælgravende mørke med pandelamper og højt humør, og så Vi var 30 piger og tre lærer afsted, og inden turen havde vi forberedt forskellige efterfølgende en enestående solopgang over den smukke vulkan. Det var hårdt, oplevelser til rejsen. Rejsen startede den 18. marts, hvor vi fløj fra København til men i enden var det hele værd. Vi fik mudder til knæene i rismarkerne, da vi gik i Dubai og fra Dubai til Bali. Vi landede i Denpasaar og kørte derfra til byen Ubud, fødderne på en risbonde og lærte, hvordan man lavede ofringer ud af blade og hvor vi skulle være den første uge. Da vi ankom til vores hotel, var det aften, og blomster.

hotellet havde lavet ris og kylling til aftensmad og båret vores kuffert op til vores værelser. Allerede der kunne jeg mærke, hvor venlige og imødekommende menneskerne var.

FØRSTE DAG Næste dag skulle vi op tidligt, hvor vi skulle ud og gå en tur, hvor vi kunne se naturen, og det var helt anderledes end Danmark. Der var rismarker overalt og unikke, store planter. Efter skulle vi ud og besøge en skole. Alle var så imødekommende, og vi skulle have smukke saronger på, og skolen så helt anderledes ud end i Danmark. Skolen havde små klasselokaler med et tempel, hvor man kunne bede. Jeg skulle også undervise en klasse på 13 år, hvor jeg skulle lære dem, hvordan man siger "jeg hedder" og "hvor gammel jeg er". Det var lidt grænseoverskridende, men jeg lagde mærke til, at eleverne her var meget mere stille og hørte efter, hvad man sagde, end i Danmark. Efter havde eleverne lavet et smukt danseshow, hvor vi bagefter selv skulle prøve at danse. Det var virkeligt sjovt og noget, som jeg aldrig havde set før. Om aftenen var vi alle ude at spise sammen på en restaurant, og dette styrkede vores sammenhold, og vi lærte hinanden bedre at kende.

Efter 5 dage i Ubud skulle vi checke ud kl. 10:00, og vi skulle køre til kystbyen Sanur, hvor vi skulle være resten af turen. På vejen havde vi nogle stop. Vi badede og så en af de smukkeste vandfald, jeg nogensinde havde set. Vi besøgte også Tirta Empul-templet, som er et vandtempel. Dette tempel er ifølge balineserne det mest hellige sted på Bali. De tror på, at templet har rensende og helbredende egenskaber. Jeg fik også udfordret mig selv psykisk, da vi skulle rense os selv i det hellige vand.

Tirta Empul templet

KYSTBYEN SANUR I Sanur lavede vi alt fra at plante koraller på en fantastisk strand, surfe i deres dejlige bølger og snorkle langs Balis smukke kyster, hvor vi kunne køle os ned efter timer i Balis varme sol. En af de sidste dage var vi ude ved en lokal strand, hvor vi skulle samle skrald op sammen med en organisation. På en time samlede vi 220 kg. Jeg synes, det er vildt, hvor meget vi samlede på så lidt tid, og det fik mig virkelig til at tænke over, hvor meget skrald der bliver smidt ud i havet. Efter blev jeg mere bevidst på at smide skrald rigtigt ud. Vi sluttede turen af med traditionelle optog med håndlavede dæmonstatuer – nemlig Balinesisk nytår, der handler om at skræmme dårlige ånder væk. Denne dag er efterfulgt af en dag til selvrefleksion, også kaldt Nyepi Day. Denne dag er Balis vigtigste dag, og hele øen vil være lukket ned. Næste morgen gik turen hjem, hvor vi fløj fra Bali til Dubai og fra Dubai til København.

hvad har jeg lært Jeg har oplevet ting, jeg aldrig kommer til at opleve igen, og i løbet af disse to uger har jeg fået nye venskaber og ny viden om miljø, kultur og natur. Jeg har lært, at menneskerne dernede er nogle af de venligste og hjælpsomste, jeg nogensinde har mødt. Turen er indgraveret i min hukommelse – ikke kun de unikke oplevelser, men også hvor anderledes vores verden kan se ud.

BR A ZIL / BR A SIL IE N Vi startede vores rejse i den brasilianske regnskov, omgivet af grønne bjerge, floder og dyreliv. Vi red på heste gennem junglen, hjalp til i den lokale køkkenhave og lærte om biodiversitet og miljø gennem workshops og feltarbejde. I mødet med lokalbefolkningen og naturen opstod et særligt fællesskab – både når vi plantede træer, studerede vandprøver i mikroskop og sad sammen ved lejrbålet, mens mørket faldt på. We began our journey in the Brazilian rainforest, surrounded by green mountains, rivers, and wildlife. We rode horses through the jungle, helped out in the local garden, and learned about biodiversity and the environment through workshops and handson fieldwork. In the meeting between people and nature, a special kind of community grew – whether we were planting trees, studying water samples under a microscope, or sitting together by the fire as night settled in.

Vi mærkede rytmen i gaderne, badede i Atlanterhavet og gik barfodet langs strandpromenaden med udsigt til bjergene. Vi oplevede en by fuld af liv og kontraster – farverige kvarterer, små gadeboder og lokale, der tog imod os med åbne arme. Vi red heste, vandrede i regnskoven og sad samlet om bålet, mens mørket lagde sig over træerne. De sidste dage blev et miks af kultur, nærvær og eventyr – vi tog hjem med sol på kinderne, stærke fællesskaber og minder, vi aldrig glemmer. The journey continued to Brazil’s coastline and the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro. We felt the rhythm of the streets, swam in the Atlantic Ocean, and walked barefoot along the beach promenade with the mountains in sight. We experienced a city full of life and contrasts – colorful neighborhoods, street vendors, and locals who welcomed us with open arms. We rode horses, hiked through the rainforest, and gathered around the campfire as night fell over the trees. The final days became a mix of culture, connection, and adventure – and we returned home with sun-kissed cheeks, strong bonds, and memories we’ll never forget.

When we landed in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday morning, we were all excited despite the long journey and ready to experience a different perspective on life for a while. In a good mood, we started a longer bus ride toward the horse ranch, Desempenho. There, we learned everything about horseback riding, and when we visited Regua, we learned all about rainforest restoration and listened to inspiring presentations from ambitious and talented researchers. We also made use of the rainforest by going on a hike one day. We took buses from the ranch to a mountain, where we hiked uphill for three hours. After the long journey, the exhaustion was totally worth it when we arrived at the most beautiful view at the top – wow. The hours spent in the rainforest were educational, and it was a meaningful experience to put "normal" life on pause for a while and live in a more traditional and simple way.

The trip continued, and this time, Rio de Janeiro was on the schedule. We visited all the must-see tourist attractions, such as the Christ the Redeemer statue, Copacabana, and Sugarloaf Mountain. We spent our last day in Rio at Ipanema, enjoying the beach and exploring a small market nearby. However, we were only there until lunch because, in the afternoon, our journey continued. This time, we were headed to Paraty, our final destination.

ure trip 2025

Paraty is a well-known vacation town in Brazil. Here, we had a bit more relaxation, though with some learning along the way. One day, we visited a fort, and after that, we had free time to relax until the evening. The next day, both Brazil groups gathered for a boat trip. We visited beautiful beaches and had a great time on the boat together. The trip ended with a cozy dinner on our last evening, wrapping up an amazing cultural journey in the best way possible

Verden som klasseværelse

Ka#nka Lavlund Borberg og Siv Hougaard Andersen ”Når vi ankommer, skal vi holde os tæt samlet og ingen går foran mig” Guide. Vi står 32 mennesker på Rio de Janeiros største og mest befolket strande, Copacabana. Til højre ser vi store hvide lejligheder langs den store strandvej, og Dl venstre for os ser vi den store strand der strækker sig over 4 km. Det begynder at blive aIen, og vi fornemmer solnedgangen ud over havet med bjergene i horisonten. Stemningen er presset, folk råber højlydt ad hinanden og mange mænd er meget påtrængende over for os. Vi stopper op for at se om alle er der, men vi mangler én pige... PoliDkerende ønsker at afskaﬀe rejser på eIerskolerne. ”De8e skal holde prisen på et e:erskoleophold nede og dermed give ﬂere forældre mulighed for at sende deres børn på e:erskole” - skriver Trivselskommissionen. 270

De mener, at det ikke er fair, at nogle elever ikke har råd Dl at komme med på rejserne. På Ranum EIerskole har vi rejser, der er graDs. Det betyder, at alle kan være med, også dem der ikke har så mange penge. Vores skoleleder og lærere synes, det er vigDgt, at vi kommer ud og rejser, fordi vi lærer en masse, når vi oplever verden. På vores skole siger vi, at ”verdens er vores klasseværelse”. ”Vi har en uddeling på næsten en million kroner om året, som vi giver Al elever, der har svært ved at betale for opholdet, eller som har svært ved at vælge en af de rejser, der koster ekstra” - Olav - Forstander på REC. Tilbage på stranden i Brasilien... Vi ﬁnder ud af hvem der mangler. Guiden beder os om at holde os tæt på ham, imens vores lærer går ud og leder. Nogen piger skynder sig at ringe Dl hende. EIer et kort stykke Dd kommer hun grædende Dlbage med læreren, og hun fortæller at en mand tog fat i hende og ville ikke lade hende gå. Guiden fortæller hvad der er vigDgt at gøre i sådan en situaDon... ”Vær højlydt, modvillig og aldrig A sAlle”. Siger han med en seriøs tone. ”Hvis nogen forsøger at tage fat i jer, så råb, skub og Altræk opmærksomhed. Det vigAgste er, at andre omkring jer ser, at der er noget galt”. Vi står sDlle og lyUer, mange af os er stadig chokerede over situaDonen. I året 2024, blev der anmeldt 83.988 voldtægter, hvilket er en sDgning på 6,5% fra året før, og det har nået et historisk højt tal. Desværre er det ikke unormalt i lande som Brasilien, og raten for voldtægt og kidnapning er i sDgning. Rejserne handler ikke kun om at have det sjovt, vi lærer nemlig meget når vi rejser, både om os selv og andre mennesker. Vi lærer at klare os i nye situaDoner, tale med folk fra andre lande og forstår andre kulturer. For os har vi lært at være mere selvstændige og tage ansvar. Vi har lært ikke at stå i vores forældres skygge, men på vores egne ben.

- A trip to remember. Vores rejse til Brasilien var noget helt specielt. Vi fik en masse kulturel viden og en helt utrolig oplevelse Our trip to Brazil was something extremely special. We got a lot of cultural knowledge and an amazing experience.

Vores kulturfagsoplevelse var meget mere end bare selve turen. Det var også alt forberedelsen inden. Vi havde et par måneders undervisning i Brasiliens kultur og vi fik lært en masse om de forskellige traditioner. Dermed var vi helt forberedt på hvad vi kunne forvente selvom der uden tvivl var overraskelser. Our culturesubject was much more than just the trip itself. It was also all the preparation before the journey. We had a couple of months of classes in Brazilian culture and we learned a lot about the different traditions. This way we were fully prepared for what to expect, although there were surprises along the way. 272

Tideligt lørdag morgen den 15. marts forlod Brasilienholdet skolen. 2 timer senere stod vi i Billund lufthavn og forberedte os på en utrolig lang flytur. Med 2 mellemlandinger forud inklusiv en 12 timers flyvetur var der lidt at forberede sig på. Men det var en hyggelig tur og der var godt sammenhold hele vejen. Early Saturday morning, March 15th, the Brazil team left school. 2 hours later we were at Billund airport preparing for an incredibly long flight. With 2 stopovers ahead including a 12 hour flight, there was a bit to prepare for. But it was a pleasant trip all the way.

Vi var i alt i 3 forskellige byer. Desempenho, Rio de Janeiro og Paraty. Vi startede ud i Desempenho hvor vi boede på en hestefarm We were in 3 different cities in total. Desempenho, Rio de Janeiro and Paraty. We started out in Desempenho where we stayed on a horse farm.

Desempenho kunne byde på en masse ridelektioner for alle niveauer. Der var alt fra nybegyndere hvor man lærte først at ride til advanceret niveau hvor man også kunne springe med hestene. Det var en fantastisk oplevelse og vi sluttede af med en ridetur ud i naturen bl.a. op i bjergene og rundt i floder. Til sidst var vi på telttur op i bjergene og overnattede for en enkelt nat. Der var en helt fantastisk udsigt deroppefra. Desempenho offered a lot of riding lessons for all levels. There was everything from beginners where you first learned to ride to advanced level where you could also jump with the horses. It was a fantastic experience and we ended with a ride into the nature, including up into the mountains and around rivers. Finally, we went on a camping trip up into the mountains and stayed for one night. There was an absolutely fantastic view from up there.

Efter omkring 4 dage i Desempenho gik turen videre til Rio de Janeiro. Vi oplevede mange seværdigheder bl.a. Jesus-statuen og Sugarloaf Mountain. Turen op til bjerget bestod af en tur op med lift og en fuldstændig uforglemmelig udsigt. Det var en helt speciel oplevelse og meget, meget smukt.

After about 4 days in Desempenho, the trip continued to Rio de Janeiro. We saw many sights, including the Jesus statue and Sugarloaf Mountain. The trip up the mountain consisted of a lift ride and a completely unforgettable view. It was a very special experience and very, very beautiful.

Sidste stop på vores rejse blev Paraty, som er en kendt lille kystby med de hyggeligste gader. Der var masser af shoppemuligheder ned langs gågaden. En af dagene var vi på en bådtur i omkring 5-6 timer hvor vi havde masser af stop undervejs med mulighed for at bade. Det var utrolig hyggeligt og en fantastisk tur. Der blev dykket med snorkel og plasket rundt i timevis. Strandene bød på palmer og turkisblåt hav. The last stop on our trip was Paraty, which is a well-known small coastal town with the coziest streets. There were plenty of shopping opportunities along the streets. One of the days we were on a boat trip for about 5-6 hours where we had lots of stops along the way with the opportunity to swim. It was a fantastic trip. We snorkeled and splashed around for hours. The beaches offered palm trees and turquoise blue sea. Af Silje Haugaard

C A N A DA I Canada blev vi mødt af sneklædte landskaber, dybe skove og nye oplevelser hver dag. Vi stod på ski mellem høje træer, spillede ishockey i bjergluften og prøvede kræfter med både dyreliv og udendørs madlavning. Vi besøgte museer og reservater, lærte om oprindelige kulturer og dyreliv – og mærkede både stilheden i naturen og sammenholdet i gruppen. Aftenerne gik med spil, snakke og varm mad, mens sneen faldt udenfor. Canada gav os fart, refleksion og fællesskab i frostklar luft. Canada greeted us with snowy landscapes, deep forests, and new adventures every day. We skied through towering trees, played ice hockey in the mountain air, and explored wildlife and outdoor living firsthand. We visited museums and nature reserves, learned about Indigenous cultures and ecosystems, and felt both the quiet of nature and the closeness of our group. The evenings were spent playing games, sharing stories, and warming up with good food while the snow fell outside. Canada gave us speed, reflection, and a shared sense of wonder in the crisp mountain air.

We started the day with walking over the Lions gate bridge which was really beautiful and we had a great view over the city 🏙️ Then we walked through stanley park which was really nice with beautiful nature as we walked to the city🌲🌳 We skied the Whistler mountain today, and because of its size, the runs were amazing all day long with barely any moguls 😁🙌 We drove to BC wildlife park where we saw a lot of the animals that live in the nature of Canada - as well as bears, eagles and many more. 🐻🦅

Yesterday we were exploring Calgary city 🇦 We saw the tallest building - (56 floors) and we really wanted to go up and see the view ☀️ This building is the tallest building in Calgary (higher than Calgary tower) 🗼

Canada, 2025

Studierejse til Canada En fed studierejse til British Columbia og Alberta i Canada, hvor vi fik mange gode minder og oplevelser. Da vi landede i Vancouver, Canada efter en 11 timers flyvetur, var vi alle sammen meget spændte på at se Vancouver, og det var der en god grund til, fordi Vancouver er en super fed by med mange forskellige mennesker. Men det vidste vi godt, der ville være, fordi Canada er et meget mangfoldigt land, ligesom Ranum er en meget mangfoldig efterskole.

Efter Vancouver tog vi til Whistler, som er et super fed ski resort, som var meget større, end vi havde forestillet os. Skiliftene blev bare ved med at gå op mod toppen af bjerget. De havde også en meget stor gondollift, som gik mellem to bjergtoppe, og den hed “Peak to Peak”. Det var første gang, jeg nogensinde sad i en gondollift. Det var en super fed oplevelse.

Efter Whistler tog vi til Kamloops, som var en lille og kedelig by, men her skulle vi også kun være i en dag. Der var rigtig meget dyreliv i Kamloops. Jeg så mange hjorte og havørne. Vi besøgte også en dyrepark, hvor de redder dyrene, der kommer til skade i Canada.

Efter Kamloops tog vi til Revelstoke, som også er et super fedt skiresort med masser af god sne på løjperne. Revelstokes midtby var meget grå og ikke ligefrem charmerende, men det var okay, fordi de havde et super fedt bjerg, hvor man kunne stå på ski.

278

15. - 30.03.2025

Efter Revelstoke tog vi til Banff og Calgary. Banff har en super flot nationalpark med store bjerge, flotte søer og storslåede dale med lange åer og floder. Vi var taget ud for at se en stor flot sø, men den var desværre frosset til is, og der var meget tåget, så der var ikke så meget at se der, men det skulle være meget flot om sommeren. Vi har lært meget om First Nations og British Columbia. Vi har blandt andet lært om deres regler for naturen og deres religion. For eksempel kan man blive straffet for at finde en havørne fjer og tage den med hjem, fordi den tilhører First Nations. Vi har også observeret folk i byerne, hvor mange står og ryger hash eller tager hårde stoffer. Der er rigtig mange hjemløse i Canada, og mange af dem er nødt til at sove på gaderne. Oppe ved ski-resortene er der næsten ingen, der ryger hash, og vi så heller ikke nogen hjemløse der.

Vi var også i Calgary, som er den tredjestørste by i Canada med et indbyggertal på 1.3 millioner, mange i Calgary kan godt lide at ryge hash, men det er dog mest de hjemløse, der gør det. Calgary er lidt en sjov by, fordi der kører mange dyre biler rundt i byen, men der er også rigtig mange som er hjemløse, der ikke har det særlig godt, så der er stor forskel på folket i Calgary.

Canada har været en super fed studietur, hvor vi har lært meget om Canadas kultur. Vi har også haft det rigtig sjovt med at stå på ski, gå rundt i byerne og opleve den flotte natur i Canada. Vi har fået god mad, og vi har set mange seje dyr – såsom havørne, bjørne, spætter, hjorte, pumaer og ugler.

CHIN A / KIN A I Kina blev vi mødt med smil, traditioner og en hverdag, der var helt anderledes end den, vi kender. Vi besøgte en lokal skole, deltog i undervisningen og lavede aktiviteter med kinesiske elever – alt fra engelsk og sport til kalligrafi og trommespil. Vi spiste os gennem dumplings, hotpot og nye smagsoplevelser, og vi oplevede et skoledagssystem, der både var stramt og fuld af fællesskab. Vi lærte om kinesisk kultur gennem dans, kunst og mødet med unge på vores egen alder. På Den Kinesiske Mur stod vi med udsigt over historien, og om aftenen oplevede vi storbyens farverige lys. Rejsen var et ægte møde mellem kulturer, sprog og venskaber – og noget vi tager med os for altid. In China, we were greeted with smiles, deep traditions, and a daily life very different from our own. We visited a local school, took part in classes, and joined Chinese students in everything from English lessons and sports to calligraphy and drumming. We explored the world of dumplings, hotpot, and unfamiliar flavors, and got a glimpse of a school culture that was both tightly structured and full of community. Through art, dance, and personal conversations, we learned about Chinese life from people our own age. At the Great Wall, we looked out over history itself – and by night, we took in the glowing lights of the city. The journey became a real meeting of cultures, languages, and lasting friendships – something we’ll carry with us always.

China Vi har været i Beijing, Shanghai og Huzhou Vi var ude at se en masse gamle kinesiske bygningsværker, og mødt den søde lokalbefolkning Senere har vi boet hos værtsfamilier og været på skoleophold, hvor vi har prøvet traditionelt kinesiske ting som; musik, sprog og kampsport. Vi har også været ude og se ting i lokalområdet fx en te plantage, batteri fabrik, lokal by. Kineserne har været så utroligt søde og hjælpsomme, og maden har været enestående. Alt i alt har vi haft en masse fantastiske nye kulturelle oplevelser som vi ikke kommer til at glemme foreløbigt. We have been to Beijing, Shanghai and Huzhou We went to see a lot of ancient Chinese architecture and met the nice locals. Later we stayed with host families and went to school, where we tried traditional Chinese subjects like, music, language and martial arts. We also went out and saw things in the local area, e.g. a tea plantation, battery factory, and a small local village. The Chinese have been so incredibly sweet and helpful, and the food has been exceptional. All in all, we had a lot of fantastic new cultural experiences that we won't forget anytime soon.

We see, we taste, we experience the culture as part of it, instead of being an outside observer - Ning

The trip to China is an extraordinary experience. The students traveled to Beijing, Shanghai, and Huzhou; broadening cultural horizons by visiting historical Chinese landmarks and our friendship school. The China culture trip is certainly one you are not likely to forget! Rejsen til Kina er en ekstraordinær oplevelse. Eleverne rejste til Beijing, Shanghai og Huzhou; udvidede deres kulturelle horisont ved at besøge historiske, kinesiske steder og vores venskabsskole. Kina-kulturrejsen er bestemt en, du ikke ville glemme!

CULTURE TRIP 2025

By Cecilia Rowe

Culture Shock UNEXPECTED DIFFERENCES When I signed up for the culture trip to China, I felt confident that I knew enough about East Asia not to experience culture shock. I felt like I knew about the similarities in our ways of life and that we are not as different as many people are led to believe. On the one hand, I was correct; I didn’t experience any mind-blowing realization that they don’t, in fact, live entirely different lives to us. Instead, I noticed the small discrepancies that matter significantly, whilst going largely unnoticed in our own societies.

It appeared not just to be general good manners, but rather a social obligation to uphold your own hygiene. I felt this not only in personal spaces, but also in communal areas. The streets were spotless, and wherever you did see litter, there was always someone shuffling The first example I noticed of this around to tidy it up. They was their attention to cleanliness seemed nearly invisible to and hygiene. Whilst many the locals and I’m sure Westerners do practice things like that many of them will taking off your shoes when entering never realise the difference a house, it felt like the importance it makes to their cities. was scaled up in China. They always Local governments clearly ensured to leave their shoes outside invest money into keeping the front door and immediately the streets clean, possibly change into their own slippers. On to offset the one occasion, I forgot my slippers environmental impact of and when I bumped into the the carbon released grandfather, he pointed at my feet through the growing and started exclaiming loudly in industrial industry. Mandarin.

286

15. - 30.03.2025

I think that many people focus on the negative impacts that China’s industrial force has on the environment and although they still have progress to make, it is equally as important to praise them on the advancements they have made before Europe. I have never been to a city as clean as Beijing, given its huge population. Even Ranum has more rubbish per person, that is just left carelessly on the ground.

CULTURE TRIP 2025 The next big difference I noticed was the sense of community. Families would gather to share many communal dishes and only take small amounts of each item. Consideration and respect for others’ needs was seen constantly. In all the restaurants I went to, the tables were large and circular, with a rotating tray in the middle to help share meals with ease. Families would spontaneously appear at other homes and offer to help clean or cook while visiting. A friend of my host family welcomed me into their house for a barbecue without People from around the have different hesitation and did their best to globe perspectives, and I have communicate with me despite the learnt that opening our language barrier. There were many times like these where I had an lives to others is crucial to overwhelming sense of hospitality evolving our ideas and bringing about a more and generosity united world.

In a conversation with some Chinese students, they said that in China people want to welcome foreigners and show them the beauty of China, especially if they travelled a long way. This contrasts to many places in Europe and North America where foreigners are often feared and portrayed as a threat to our society. I found this eye opening to the level of subtle xenophobia in Western news and media, using words to manipulate people into rejecting immigration and dividing countries further. In my opinion, if more countries started accepting others, we would be much further along than we are now.

Overall, my trip to China has made a long-lasting impact on both my ability to let go of preconceived ideas and my willingness to open up to others.

I hope that I can bring about the same sense of togetherness in my own life, rather than staying divided by our differences. I feel that the connection that has formed between so many people at this school and others from around the world will positively affect all of us for the rest of our lives and increase our empathy and understanding towards others.

By Emilie McNeill

China-a life changing experience From its towering mountains to its ancient temples, the harmony of China’s natural beauty and cultural depth feels almost otherworldly. This was an experience like no other. Stepping outside my Comfort zone. From the beginning until the very end of my trip to China, I was in complete awe. Everything we saw and everything we experienced was just incredible. I never knew China’s beauty was so vast. I am usually not the type to leave my comfort zone, but I am so glad I did by choosing China.

I would like to start off telling you why I chose China. I never chose it because my friends chose it, rather I chose it because I didn’t really know much about China, and I wanted to choose a country I never been too and one that really has a rich and different culture to what I’m used to. This is the water city Wuzhen, as you can see there is a boat right underneath the bridge.

From Tourist to Temporary Local. I have to say, probably the best experience we had, was the student exchange. For the second half of the trip, every student from our group lived with their own Chinese family. We had a whole weekend alone with them, without teachers and without the other students. At first it was a bit nerve-racking, but it quickly became my favorite part of the whole trip. The way an average Chinese spends their day is really different to how I go on about my day. It was very interesting to learn. I got to experience the weekend life of a teen in China. My host family took me to a city called Wuzhen it is a water town which means there are many small canals and the only transport there are small boats. It is an old and historical village. They took me on a small boat ride, and I got to eat breakfast on one as well. It was very fun.

This is the great wall of China, a world heritage site, which stretches out over lots of Mountains. 288

Historic Sites and Timeless Traditions China has an exceedingly long and complex history. In our culture class we have barely just scratched the surface. There are many world heritage sites. To name a few, the great wall of China, the temple of heaven, and the forbidden city are the three world heritage sites we saw. At these historical monuments we saw a lot of people dressed in traditional Chinese clothes. The amount of detail there is on one piece of clothing is just mind blowing. The most memorable world heritage site must be the forbidden city. The most memorable world heritage site must be the forbidden city. In my opinion its beauty is incomparable with I am standing next to a local who is wearing trathe other ones we visited. While we were there Ning, our ditional Chinese clothes in the forbidden city. teacher, told us a lot of interesting facts. For example, I learned that the emperor’s house was the highest place inside the forbidden city. I was most excited to see the forbidden city after we had watched the last emperor in our culture class. It really lived up to my expectations even though we were not there for more than an hour. In conclusion, I was extremely impressed by the whole trip, and I am so glad I chose it for myself and not because of others. I am glad I stuck to my choice and did not change it. Every cultural aspect I have experienced on this trip will never be forgotten. It feels so surreal I have traveled to China and seen things I never would have here in Europe. It was truly such a magnificent journey especially with the teachers I went with. Ning and Ann Kathrine really made the trip memorable. From the vast natural beauty to the colorful traditional clothes, China is definitely a country I will visit again.

Kina - en fed rejse til et smukt land med utrolig kultur Solen brager ned gennem de hvide skyers dægge af himlen, vi står i parken udenfor Det Himleske Temple i Beijing. Lyden af kinesisk musik strømmer gennem luften, nogle gamle mennesker danser en traditionel dans, andre spiller kinesiskes fjerbold. De vinker os hen til dem og lige pludselig spiller vi med det, selvom der ikke er et fælles sprog, kan man se glæden og deres venlig mens de spiller med os. Vi bliver revet videre gennem parken af tibetansk musik, en gruppe ælder kvinder med rødlige trøjer, lange nederdele, sølvbælter og cowboyhat lader musikken føre deres krop i deres smukke dans. Vi bliver ledt videre gennem parken, solens varme stråler skinner ned over os og græsset omkring os. Lyset gør det svært at se det smukke tempel, dets blålige og røde farver skinner helt i solen, og skaber en smuk harmoni af farver. Det blå symboliser døden, men det er umuligt at tænke på når man ser dette tre lags mesterværk af en bygning, bygget i Mingdynastiet. Mens vi bliver hivet gennem den imponerende park med de antikke konstruktioner, bliver trukket til siden af en mor, hun havde en lille pige med en lyserød traditionel trøje på. Moren spørger om vi ville tage et billede sammen med hendes datter, hun er lidt bange for os, så hun bliver ved med at løbe tilbage til sin mor. Dog lykkes det moren endelig at få et billede af os sammen med hendes datter inden vi forsvinder videre gennem folkemængden. Det er en meget mærkelig oplevelse, der er virkelige mange mennesker der ville havde billeder med os udeanset hvor vi er, det tænker jeg på det mens vi går, hvilket trækker mig tilbage til et minde ved den kinesiske mur. Nogle af os er lige kommet ned fra at havde gået på den antikke mur, vores ben er ømme, så vi sætter os ned på en bænk. Mens vi sidder, kommer der nogle søde kineser på til os, de kan ikke engelsk, men prøver at vinke os hen til dem. Vi rykker os hen ved siden af dem, de peger og vinker os til at sidde på præcis den måde de ville havde vi sidder med dem, de tager nogle billeder og en anden sætter sig med os, så de til sidst alle har et billede med os. Jeg bliver pludselig revet tilbage til virkeligheden, da vi løber over den himmelske freds plads, for at nå hen til den forbudte by inden den lukker. Vi når lige gennem inden de lukker porterne, den blå himle for de gamle bygninger til at skinne, de røde og gyldne farver lyser hele den forbudte by op. Vi har næsten det hele for os selv udover nogle unge, kinesiske kvinder i 1

traditionelle kjoler fra Qing dynastiet. Vi sætter os foran der var kejserne og kejserinder boede tilbage i tiden, vi er ved at tage gruppebillede, så vi sidder alle under den bagende sol og smiler. Kvinderne står lidt fra os og ser på os, som vi var kendte, de smiler lidt til os og en af os vinker dem over. Først kommer der en fra gruppen, også kommer rasten ind i billede, et billede af fællesskab trods intet fælles sprog, det viser nysgerrigheden, velkommenhed og menneskeligheden mellem os. Det er det jeg tænker tilbage på, når jeg tænker på turen, folk af alle aldre, der var nysgerrig omkring os, folk der mødte os med venlighed og de søde familier, der lod os komme ind i deres hjem og viste os deres hverdag.

COR A L RE S TOR ATIO N På Maldiverne arbejdede vi side om side med marinebiologer og lokale ildsjæle for at genopbygge koralrevene omkring Dharavandhoo. Vi samlede koralfragmenter, dykkede ned blandt farvestrålende fisk og plantede nye revstrukturer på havbunden. Undervejs lærte vi om livet i havet, klimaets betydning og hvordan vi selv kan gøre en forskel. Vi besøgte den lokale skole, legede med børnene og fik indblik i ø-livets rytme og fællesskab. Det var en rejse fuld af saltvand, smil og samarbejde – og en påmindelse om, hvor skrøbelig og fantastisk naturen er. In the Maldives, we worked side by side with marine biologists and local volunteers to help restore the coral reefs around Dharavandhoo. We collected coral fragments, dived among vibrant fish, and planted new reef structures on the ocean floor. Along the way, we learned about marine life, the impact of climate change, and how we can all make a difference. We visited the local school, played with the children, and experienced the rhythm and community of island life. It was a journey filled with saltwater, smiles, and teamwork – and a powerful reminder of how fragile and amazing nature really is.

Coral Restoration Maldiverne A F

K A L L E

K O L D

T H A M D R U P

Maldiverne er kendt for det turkise vand og smukke strande, men under vandet kæmper korallerne for at overleve. Derfor valgte jeg at tage med på denne tur for at få et større indblik i og lære, hvorfor det er vigtigt at passe på vores koraller, og hvordan vi kan gøre en forskel.

Sådan genplanter man et koralrev

Undersøgelse af revenes sundhed

Vores første dage blev brugt på at arbejde med et koralrestaureringsprojekt kaldet Muraka Farm, i samarbejde med frivillige og lokale eksperter. De forklarede os, hvordan korallerne bliver svækket af stigende havtemperaturer, forurening og menneskelig aktivitet.

En anden vigtig del af arbejdet var reef surveys – systematiske undersøgelser af revets tilstand. Vi målte korallernes vækst, talte fisk og noterede tegn på skader eller sygdom, samt om der var de dyr, der burde være i fødekæden.

For at hjælpe med at genopbygge revene fastgjorde vi små, sunde koralfragmenter til metalrammer, som vi dykkede ud med og placerede på havbunden. Over tid vil disse fragmenter vokse og danne nye rev, hvor fisk og andre havdyr kan trives. Det var en vild oplevelse at se, hvordan tidligere projekter allerede havde bragt liv tilbage til områder, der tidligere var helt døde.

296

Nogle områder så triste ud – døde, blegede koraller, som ikke længere kunne understøtte livet omkring sig. Men andre steder var der håb: Nye koraller voksede frem, og fiskene var vendt tilbage. Det var smukt at se steder fyldt med koraller og liv overalt, hvor man kiggede hen. At være med til at dokumentere dette gav os et indblik i, hvor stor en forskel bevaring og restaurering faktisk kan gøre.

Dykning i en anden verden

Fra hav til hovedstad: Et par dage i Malé

Vi står på båden – alle er klar, men vi kan se, at nogle af de andre ser nervøse ud. De er usikre på, om det egentlig er sikkert, det de skal til at gøre: at springe ud fra en lille båd, langt væk fra land, og ned i det blå. De tager et dybt åndedrag og springer i det klare, blå vand. Bagefter begynder alle at tale om den helt særlige følelse, det giver – hver gang.

Efter en intens uge under vand brugte vi et par dage i Malé, Maldivernes travle hovedstad. Byen føltes som en helt anden verden sammenlignet med det stille, farverige liv under havets overflade. Vi gik rundt i de smalle gader, besøgte det lokale fiskemarked og fragtmarkedet, og fik et indblik i det daglige liv på øerne.

Så snart vi kom under overfladen, åbnede en ny verden sig for os. Bølgernes lyd forsvandt, og alt vi kunne høre, var vores egen vejrtrækning gennem regulatoren. Vi dykkede over farverige rev, hvor fisk i alle regnbuens farver bevægede sig omkring os. En dag så vi havskildpadder glide roligt forbi, og en anden dag dukkede hajer op tæt på os. Hvert dyk var unikt og viste os, hvor smukt – og sårbart – livet under havet er.

Vi lærte, hvordan Maldiverne forsøger at beskytte deres havområder, samtidig med at turismen stiger og presser både miljø og lokalsamfund. Derudover fik vi også en større forståelse for deres kultur og religion. Vi besøgte moskeer, talte med lokale muslimer og oplevede, hvordan islam præger hverdagen. Det var spændende at mærke den varme og nysgerrighed, folk mødte os med, og hvor stolte de var af deres traditioner og historie.

Hvad vi tager med os Turen var en øjenåbner. Vi så, hvor smukke og sårbare koralrevene er, og hvor meget arbejde der kræves for at beskytte dem. At dykke ned og opleve både sunde og skadede rev gjorde det klart, hvor vigtig vores indsats var. At plante koraller og dokumentere revets tilstand gav os en følelse af at gøre en konkret forskel. Hver lille handling – fra at fastgøre en koral til at registrere et fiskespot – føltes betydningsfuld og gav os håb for fremtiden. Vi tager også en helt ny forståelse med os hjem. Ikke bare for livet i havet, men for hvor meget havet betyder for hele kloden – og for os som mennesker. Forhåbentlig vil det, vi har lært og gjort, være med til at sikre, at kommende generationer også får lov til at opleve den magiske verden under overfladen.

Fiskeri på Maldiverne Af Rasmus Aakjær Andersen På en lille dykkerbåd, på maldiverne, ud fra Dharavannhoo på Raa atollen. står 26 drenge 1 pige og 5 lærer, alle og kæmper for at være den der fanger den første og største fisk. Der bliver ikke fisket med stang og net, men derimod en frilæggende line med en krog, med lidt madding på enden. Det stopper dem dog ikke efter 10 minutter kom den første op, en fin grå snapper. Og igen efter 10 minutter med filtrede liner og dårlige Jokes, kom der en rød orange Grouper med blågrå pletter op af vandet, dagens flotteste fisk. Efter dette blev der fanget et par aftrækker fisk men ikke noget vildt spændende.

Så gik turen hjem af, sejlturen tog omkring 20 minutter. Turen medbragte den vildeste stjernehimmel over det ellers mørklagte hav, her begyndte det også at gå op for gruppen at turen snart gik hjem igen, og at de var nødt til at nyde den sidste tid. Der faldt en hel unaturlig men alligevel beroligende ro over 298

besætningen. Det var som om folk lige indså hvor vild en oplevelse, den sidste uge havde været. Der er mellem 1.100 og 2.000 fiskearter på maldiverne Maldives-times.com

Men så ankom gruppen til Dharavannhoo og så var der fart på igen. Nu skulle de her fisk skæres op og håndfodres til hajerne, som holdt til ved det lokale fiskemarked. Et superfedt koncept nede på havnen, hvor der er et lille halvtag med håndvaske og knive, så man lige kan skære dagens fangst op. Det tog dog gode 10 minutter at få skåret dem op, da knivenes æg var omtrent lige så lige, som en spritbilists kørsel. Men det stoppede ikke gruppen der nærmest endte med at rive fiskene fra hinanden, men i sidste ende blev hajerne da fodret.

COS TA RIC A I Costa Rica gik vi i vandrestøvler, badetøj og med åbne sanser. Vi sejlede gennem floder, badede under vandfald og lærte om regnskovens dyr og planter fra lokale guider. Undervejs boede vi tæt på naturen og lærte om bæredygtighed, frivillighed og livet i små lokalsamfund. Vi besøgte skoler og markeder, plantede træer og dansede med lokalbefolkningen. Der var både tid til hårde hikes, kage og fødselsdagssang – og vi tog hjem med nye venner, stærke ben og store smil. In Costa Rica, we hiked in boots, swam in rivers, and kept our senses wide open. We cruised through jungle waterways, bathed beneath waterfalls, and learned about wildlife and plants from local guides. Along the way, we stayed close to nature and explored sustainability, volunteering, and life in rural communities. We visited schools and markets, planted trees, and danced with the locals. There was time for long treks, birthday cake, and lots of laughter – and we returned home with new friends, stronger legs, and wide smiles.

E U ROPE TO U R

På vores rejse gennem Europa besøgte vi historiske byer, museer og monumenter – fra Berlin til Wien og videre til Prag. Vi lærte om Europas historie, kultur og politiske udvikling, og vi fik samtidig tid til hygge, fællesskab og udforskning. I hver by mødte vi nye indtryk: kongekroner bag glas, gamle mure med stærke fortællinger og lokale måltider delt omkring store borde. Turen var både lærerig og sjov – og gav os minder, vi tager med os videre. On our journey through Europe, we explored historic cities, museums, and monuments – from Berlin to Vienna and on to Prague. We learned about European history, culture, and politics, while also enjoying fun moments, new friendships, and local discoveries. Each city offered something unique: royal crowns behind glass, old city walls filled with stories, and shared meals that brought us closer together. The trip was both educational and exciting – and left us with memories to carry forward.

H AWAII På Hawaii mødte vi både bølger, bjerge og en stærk lokal kultur. Vi lærte hula, smagte lokal mad og lyttede til historier fra øens befolkning. Vi surfede, vandrede gennem regnskov og lærte om planter, traditioner og naturens betydning i hawaiiansk livssyn. Undervejs var der mudder overalt, grin i solen og plads til refleksion i fællesskabet. Hawaii var ikke bare palmer og strand – det var bevægelse, respekt og en rejse, vi sent vil glemme. In Hawaii, we were met by waves, mountains, and a rich local culture. We learned hula, tasted local food, and listened to stories from the island’s people. We surfed, hiked through rainforest, and explored plants, traditions, and the deep connection between nature and Hawaiian life. Along the way, there was mud, laughter, and moments of reflection in the group. Hawaii was more than beaches and palm trees – it was movement, respect, and a journey we’ll never forget.

Vi var 26 elever og tre lærere på studietur til O’ahu, Hawaiis grønne vulkanø med tropisk klima. På Pearl Harbor besøgte vi mindeparken for angrebet 7. december 1941, dansede hula med eksperten Michael Pili Pang og udforskede Bishop Museum. På farmen Ho’oka’aina stod vi til livet i mudder for at passe kalo‑planter, og vi vandrede den stejle sti langs Ka’au Crater til et brusende vandfald, en dag der udfordrede alle. Fredag gik det langsommere med Meet‑the‑locals, beachvolley og barbecue på Waikiki Beach, kun 600 meter fra hotellet. Lørdag hjalp vi et lokalt fællesskab med at plante indfødte træer og snorklede ved Makapu’u Beach før aftenens hula‑show. Nordkysten bød på Pipeline‑bølger i verdensklasse, og vi tog en surflektion ved Pua’ena Point med North Shore Surf Girls. De sidste dage besteg vi Diamond Head med storslået udsigt, nogle surfede igen ved Waikiki, og på Kaimuki High School hørte vi om deres kreative Trash‑to‑Treasure‑projekt. Turen sluttede på HOMA, Hawaiis Museum of Modern Art. Natur, kultur og fællesskab fylder nu kufferten hjem. We were 26 students and three teachers on a study trip to O‘ahu, Hawaii’s lush volcanic island with a tropical climate. At Pearl Harbor we visited the memorial for the 7 December 1941 attack, danced hula with expert Michael Pili Pang and explored the Bishop Museum. On the Ho‘oka‘aina farm we stood waist‑deep in mud tending kalo plants, and we hiked the steep Ka‘au Crater trail to a roaring waterfall—a full‑on challenge for everyone. Friday ran at an easier pace with Meet‑the‑locals, beach volleyball and a barbecue on Waikiki Beach, just 600 metres from our hotel. Saturday we helped a local community plant native trees, then snorkelled off Makapu‘u Beach before the evening hula show. The North Shore delivered world‑class Pipeline waves, and we took a surf lesson at Pua‘ena Point with North Shore Surf Girls. During our last days we climbed Diamond Head for sweeping views, some of us surfed again at Waikiki, and at Kaimuki High School we learned about their inventive Trash‑to‑Treasure project. The journey ended at HOMA, Hawaii’s Museum of Modern Art. Nature, culture and community now fill our suitcases home.

Efterskoleelever hjælper til på hawaiiansk farm

Ranum-elever bytter skolebænken ud for mudder og hårdt arbejde på en traditionel hawaiiansk farm. Af Lisbeth Nyarmogi Oloya Under den bagende sol på Hawaii, omgivet af frodig natur og grønne bakker, står en gruppe unge fra Ranum Efterskole College. I dag er det ikke snorkling, surfing eller strandhygge, der står på programmet. I stedet er de klar til at få hænderne beskidte og udfordre nogle grænser på den lokale hawaiianske farm Ho’okua’aina. Eleverne træder forsigtigt ind i det ukendte rige, nervøse men med en nogenlunde positiv indstilling. ”Er der slanger i mudderet?”, spørger en elev bekymret sin lærer om, mens de kigger på de store grønne planter omringet af dybt muddervand. Læreren griner og forsikrer pigen om der er intet at være bange for, men det ser ikke ud til at hun er helt overbevist. De unge mennesker udbytter deres moderigtige fodtøj ud med badesko eller går barfodet, mens de diskuterer hvad de følgende timer kommer til at byde på. Mens eleverne får smurt deres ryg gavmildt ind i faktor 50 solcreme, bliver de taget godt imod af en smilende solbrun mand ved navn Zach, som er en af farmens ledere. De sætter sig i en stor cirkel på det lune græs, hvor alle introducerer sig selv. Eleverne lytter opmærksomt til Zach, der entusiastisk fortæller om taro planterne, deres historiske betydning og farmens rolle i lokalsamfundet.

310

De fleste elever følger interesseret med, men andre lader sig distrahere af omgivelserne - og Zach. ”Han er faktisk ret lækker. Se hans krop,” hvisker en af pigerne til sidemanden med et lusket smil. For at hjælpe til skal eleverne i dag fjerne ukrudt fra taro planterne, hvilket er en opgave der kræver at de bevæger sig ned i den bløde mudrede jord. ”Ej jeg tør ikke piger,” hviner en af eleverne, mens hun forsigtigt træder ned i den sumpede jord. Snart har næsten hele gruppen begge ben godt plantet i mudderet, kæmpende for at holde balancen mens de trækker ukrudt op med hænderne. Nogle tager udfordringen med et smil, mens andre lige skal blive vandt til den uvante fornemmelse af mudder i alle kroge af kroppen. Men fælles for alle er, at

arbejdet hurtigt bliver en morsom og hyggelig oplevelse. En af eleverne henter en lille højtaler i bilen, med formålet at spille noget musik som alle kan synge med på. Det hjælper stemningen med at nå helt i top. En gruppe på 4 piger sidder på kanten og river ukrudtsrødder op, mens de synger med på det kendte Gilli nummer. Efter omkring halvanden times tid da koncentrationen er ved at slippe op for de unge efterskoleelever, vælger nogle af drengene at tage oplevelsen til et nyt niveau, ved at sætte gang i en mudderkamp. Der bliver grinet og løbet, mens mudder flyver gennem den varme luft. En mandlig lærer bliver snart trukket ind i kaosset og ender dækket i mudder fra top til tå.

Efter dagens arbejde hjælper eleverne hinanden med at få mudderet vasket af med en vandslange. Vandet er køligt mod den solvarme hud, og selvom eleverne er trætte, er der en energisk stemning. ”Det var faktisk virkelig hyggeligt i dag, men jeg glæder mig til at komme tilbage på hotellet og få et ordentligt bad,” siger en elev grinende, da hun bliver spurgt om hvordan dagen har været. Dagen på Ho’okua’aina har ikke bare været en arbejdsdag, men en oplevelse der har givet eleverne indsigt i en anden kultur og levemåde. Det har på samme tid også været en dag fyldt med latter og fællesskab, som de unge mennesker kommer til at kigge tilbage på med et smil på læben. FAKTA OM HO’OKUA’AINA Ho’okua’aina er en non-profit farm, som ligger i Kailua på øen Oahu. De har fokus på uddannelse, fællesskab og bæredygtigt landbrug. De dyrker taro, hvilket er en traditionel hawaiiansk afgrøde. Deres målgruppe er lokale unge, skoler og frivillige fra hele verden. Mere info: www.hookuaaina.org

JA PA N Japan‑holdet blev delt i to grupper på grund af elevantallet. Hold 1 forlod Ranum Efterskole College den 15. marts kl. 23.00 og nåede Aalborg kl. 00.00. Derfra tog de nattoget til København, som de ankom til tidligt om morgenen og fløj videre. De landede i Kyoto sent om aftenen den 17. marts. Hold 2 fulgte samme rejseplan blot én dag senere. Mens de var undervejs, besøgte hold 1 Det Gyldne Tempel (Kinkaku‑ji) og Bambusskoven. På turens anden dag mødtes begge hold for at besøge Ranums venskabsskole, Kyoto International School. Senere så vi sumobrydning i Osaka. Dag 3 stod i portenes tegn med de berømte “Tusind Porte” ved Fushimi Inari, og vi lagde også vejen forbi Kiyomizudera‑templet. Dag 4 besøgte vi Kyoto Imperial Palace, hvor vi frit kunne spadsere rundt og nyde omgivelserne. Derefter tog vi til Nara og fodrede de tamme sika‑hjorte, en art der kun findes i Japan.

312

15. - 30.03.2025

Dag 5 tog vi toget til Osaka Castle, som fungerer som museum, hvorefter vi arbejdede videre med vores FN‑mål og interviewede lokale. Dagen efter kørte vi i privat bus til Fuji‑området, hvor vi tilbragte to døgn: Vi udforskede en isgrotte, nød udsigten til Fuji fra en svævebane og besøgte en traditionel japansk landsby. Vi prøvede også “Onsen”, de klassiske varme bade. Derefter gik turen til hovedstaden Tokyo. Første stop var Shibuya til shopping, og om aftenen nød vi udsigten over byen fra en høj bygning. I Tokyo besøgte vi også Asakusa‑templet, det imponerende Nationalmuseum, gik tur i Ueno‑parken blandt de tidlige kirsebærblomster og oplevede elektronikmekkaet Akihabara. Herefter satte hold 1 kursen hjemad. Mens de rejste, fik hold 2 tid til akvariet, elektronikmuseet og et sejt ninja‑show i Shinjuku. Eleverne har alle nydt turen; en af dem fortæller: “Når jeg ser tilbage på min rejse til Japan, husker jeg de smukke steder og fantastiske oplevelser. Fra templer, at sove på gulvet og spise traditionel japansk middag til shopping i en af verdens største byer, omgivet af skyskrabere højere, end jeg kunne forestille mig, og den mest avancerede teknologi. Rejsen var en drøm, der gik i opfyldelse. Jeg havde ønsket at besøge Japan, så længe jeg kan huske, og turen overgik alle mine forventninger. Den gav mig venner, viden og en masse uforglemmelige minder.”

It’s was amazing I wish I could stay in Japan for more. Everything was so cool and pretty and the culture is amazing!”

Nur Bitton

Japan class was divided into 2 teams due to the number of students on it. Team one left Ranum Efterskole the 15th of March at 23:00 where they then arrived in Aalborg at 00:00. They then took a train throughout the night to arrive in Copenhagen early in the morning and then they were off. They arrived in Kyoto late in the evening on the 17th. Team two did the same things just a day later. But while they were traveling, team one visited the Golden Temple and bamboo forest. Both teams then got together to visit Ranum’s friendship school, “Kyoto International School” for day 2. Later that day we also saw some Sumo Wrestling in Osaka. Day 3 was filled with gates when we visited the famous “Thousand Gates”, but a day in Japan is not complete without a temple, so we also took a stop at the Kiyomizadera Temple. Day 3 we visited the Kyoto Imperial Palace where we were able to walk around and just enjoy the sights and surroundings, later we took off to Nara and fed all the cute Sika deers, a specific species only in Japan in fact. Day 4 we took the train to Osaka Castle that worked kind of like a museum and then we were sent off to work on our UN goals and interviewed the locals. Day 5 we took a private bus over to Fuji where we spent the next 2 days, during that time we visited an ice cave, saw mount Fuji from a higher view with a ropeway and a traditional old Japanese village. We also tried Onsen (traditional bath). It was then off to the country’s capital, Tokyo, where we went straight to Shibuya for some shopping and an evening trip to a high building to get a view over Tokyo. In this city we also visited the Asakusa Temple, explored the beautiful Tokyo National Museum, went on a walk in Ueno Park to enjoy the early spring cherry blossoms and visited Akihabara. But it was then time for team one to leave. While they were traveling, team two got the chance to go to all kinds of places like the aquarium, electronic museum and Shinjuku where there was a cool ninja show. The students have all enjoyed this trip a lot, one of them saying this: “When I look back on my trip to Japan, I remember all the beautiful places we visited and the amazing things we experienced. From traditional elements like temples, sleeping on the floor, and having a traditional Japanese dinner to shopping in one of the biggest cities on earth, surrounded by skyscrapers taller than I could have imagined and some of the most advanced technologies the world has ever seen. This trip was a dream come true, as I had wanted to visit Japan for as long as I could remember, and it exceeded all my expectations. It gave me friends, knowledge, and a bunch of amazing memories that I can now look back on.” 314

På Malaysia-turen oplevede vi en dynamisk blanding af tradition og moderne liv. Vi vandrede gennem frodige regnskove og besøgte lokale landsbyer, hvor vi deltog i frivilligt arbejde og blev en del af den lokale kultur. Vi lavede aktiviteter sammen med børn på skoler, smagte på lækker street food fra livlige natmarkeder og udforskede farverige templer, der afslører Malaysias rige historie og multikulturelle samfund. Om aftenen samledes vi over fælles måltider og delte historier og grin – en tur, der både åbnede vores øjne og styrkede vores fællesskab. On our Malaysia trip, we experienced a dynamic blend of tradition and modern life. We hiked through lush rainforests and visited local villages, where we took part in volunteer work and immersed ourselves in the local culture. We participated in activities with children at schools, savored delicious street food from vibrant night markets, and explored colorful temples that showcase Malaysia’s rich history and multicultural society. In the evenings, we gathered for shared meals and exchanged stories and laughter – a journey that not only broadened our horizons but also strengthened our sense of community.

“Det var mega stort og meget anderledes at bo hos en flygtningefamilie. Det satte virkelig nogle ting i perspektiv“ - Emma, Elev på Ranum

318

Kulturfagsrejsen til Malaysia bød på mange forskellige oplevelser. Vi har oplevet naturen på tæt hold. Vi har sejlet på floderne, vandret i de frodige regnskove, besøgt stammefolket Asli Orang og sovet i telte på flodbreden dybt inde i regnskoven. Vi underviste på Hilla Community High, en skole for flygtningebørn. Vi boede privat hos flygtningefamilierne og fik et indblik i en hverdag, der er helt anderledes fra vores.

The culture trip to malaysia offered many experiences. Being close to the nature while walking in the rainforest, sailing on the river, and sleeping in tents with the Asli Orang tribe. We tought at Hilla Community High, a school for refugee students in Kuala Lumpur. During the styad we lived with the refugeefamilies, getting to experience how the live in Malaysia.

P3 CULTURE SUBJECT TRIP

FELICIA KOCH

Malaysia THE TRIP THAT CHANGED THE WAY I SEE THE his trip with Ranum has taught me far more WORLD than I have ever learned in all my years in

school. I learned things that I never would have learned about not only myself, but also the world around me. When I landed in Malaysia, more than 14 000 km away from home, I had no idea what to expect. If I’m being completely honest, my biggest goal for the trip starting out was to eat some good food, take nice pictures, and have fun with my friends. Little did I know, this trip to Malaysia would mean far more to me than that. We spent our first week exploring what Malaysia has to offer. From jungle hikes, to river rafting, eating street food, exploring temples and sleeping on the beach, we had a lot of fun together. We then arrived at a luxurious beachfront hotel. This hotel had a pool, all you can eat buffet, and spa. I thought to myself, this is where the trip’s fun comes to an end since after this we were to stay with our host families for the rest of our trip. We spent our time at that hotel swimming, surfing, tanning, and relaxing. Which in hindsight, I could do at any point in my life, and is not at all as special as the days to come would be.

After those two days at the hotel, we packed our bags, and made our way back to Kuala Lumpur. When we arrived, we walked with all our belongings until we finally arrived at our host family’s apartment. We walked up the stairs to the very last apartment on the top floor, took off our shoes, and walked in the door. We were greeted with a family of refugees from Afghanistan, sitting on the carpet, waiting patiently for us. I felt relief through my whole body. Because already, after making eye contact with them, I knew I would enjoy my time here. They showed us our room, and we laid down our things, and then went out to meet them. Although they weren’t the best at English, and some couldn’t even speak it at all, that was no issue. We had never met each other before, they had no reason to trust us, but they opened their home and offered us candy and food.

We learned about where they were from, and how long they had lived in Malaysia for, and we told them a little bit about our life, and why we were visiting. The next morning, we went out into their living room to see that they had all slept on the floor. They had one mattress in the house, and they had given it to us. They made homemade bread and eggs for us, even though they couldn’t even eat themselves because they were fasting. We walked to their school, and within the first 5 minutes I spent in their classroom, I realized something. These kids acted exactly how I did when I was their age. They are all refugees, and have lived in places far away from me, however we had so much in common. It made me realize how alike we really are. Kids are just kids all over the world, and they are no different from the kids I grew up with. We went home our host families that evening, and were greeted by a feast of food. Rice, chicken, sauces and salads. Sodas, and candy, and even these complex flowers filled with meat and vegetables that are traditionally served at weddings in Afghanistan. It was amazing how much effort they put into that meal for us. It warmed my heart. We talked to one of their friends, who was 24, and she told us about how she was never able to go to university in Afghanistan, and had to find a job without that education. She had dreamed of being a lawyer or a doctor, but that was not possible for her. Hearing about these sacrifices they had to make, showed me all the extra opportunities I have gotten throughout my life, it really made me grateful.

We played cards, danced, laughed, and really got to know them, without them even understanding English. I realized that they have benn through so much, yet their heart did not weaken one bit. They gave us all they could offer, without expecting anything in return. Since my trip to Malaysia, whenever I see news headlines about children in other countries, battling problems that I can barely wrap my head around, I think of that family. I think how it could’ve been my family. I think about how similar those people are to me, and how much we have in common. I have far greater empathy.

På kulturfagsrejsen kommer man ud og oplever verden på en anden måde end vi kender den. Vi oplever andre kulturer som i den grad sætter ting i perspektiv. Det er ikke bare en ferie til et andet sted Det er en rejse ind i nye kulture og man kommer hjem med noget der ikke bare kan læres i et klasselokale. Jeg var i Malaysia på min kulturfagsrejse. På rejsen skulle vi undervise på en f lygtninge skole, det gjorde et stort indtryk på mig fordi børnene her ikke have lige vilkår og samme muligheder for fremtiden som indfødte børn i Malaysia. Det er en ting som er markant anderledes end i Danmark og generelt under rejsen lagde jeg mærke til hvor priviligeret vi er og hvor mange muligheder vi har ift mange andre steder i verden. ”

M O ROCCO / M A ROKKO I Marokko vandrede vi på Atlasbjergenes støvede stier, red på kamelryg gennem ørkenen og boede under stjernerne. Vi mødte lokale håndværkere, smagte tagine og drak myntete i små landsbyer, hvor gæstfriheden var stor. Vi legede og lavede aktiviteter med børn, besøgte skoler og blev inviteret med til traditionelle måltider. I Marrakech oplevede vi markedspladsernes mylder og byens farverige puls. Marokko var en rejse gennem varme, højder, kultur og fællesskab – og en oplevelse, der satte spor. In Morocco, we hiked dusty trails in the Atlas Mountains, rode camels through the desert, and slept under the stars. We met local artisans, tasted tagine, and drank mint tea in villages where the hospitality was unforgettable. We played with children, visited schools, and were invited to share traditional meals with local families. In Marrakech, we explored buzzing markets and the colorful rhythm of the city. Morocco was a journey through heat, heights, culture, and connection – and an experience that left a lasting mark.

Morocco This culture subject was a memory that we could never forget. The first couple of days we explored the bustling, but culture-rich souks located in the city of Marrakech. The next three days were spent hiking along the beautiful Atlas Mountains, where we had to endure extreme exhaustion and some primitive guest houses but it was all worthwhile because we get to interact with the wonderful locals and learn about the culture. The highlight of our journey was in the Sahara desert, where we rode camels and witnessed the breathtaking sunset followed by an unforgettable night under the stars. Finally, after our relentless 10 hour journey, we arrived at the city of Agadir, where we spent the next five days surfing on the west coast and exploring the thriving city of Agadir. Denne kulturrejse var et minde, vi aldrig vil glemme. De første par dage udforskede vi de travle, men kulturfyldte souks i byen Marrakech. De næste tre dage blev brugt på at vandre i de smukke Atlasbjergene, hvor vi måtte udholde ekstrem udmattelse og boede i nogle primitive gæstehuse, men det var det hele værd, fordi vi fik mulighed for at interagere med de vidunderlige lokale og lære om kulturen. Højdepunktet på vores rejse var et ophold i Sahara-ørkenen, hvor vi red på kameler, så den betagende solnedgang, samt tilbragte en uforglemmelig nat under stjernerne. Den følgende dag efter en laaang 10 timers busrejse, ankom vi til Agadir, hvor vi tilbragte de næste fem dage med at surfe på vestkysten og udforske den blomstrende by Agadir.

Vi arbejdede med wildlife conservation, lavede mad, legede med børn i lokalsamfundet og lærte om hverdagslivet i en helt anden virkelighed. Vi plantede træer, lyttede til lokale fortællinger og mærkede, hvordan mødet med både mennesker og natur satte sig. Midt i det hele var der tid til ro, refleksion og grin under stjernehimlen. Turen var et møde med det enkle og det betydningsfulde – og noget vi tager med os videre. In Namibia, we were met by wide open landscapes, glowing sunsets, and warm communities. We worked with wildlife conservation, helped cook and play with children in the local area, and gained insight into everyday life in a completely different reality. We planted trees, listened to stories, and felt how the connection with nature and people left its mark. In the middle of it all, there was time for peace, reflection, and laughter under the stars. The trip was a meeting with the simple and the meaningful – something we’ll carry with us.

Ten Days in Namibia: A Journey I didn’t Know I Needed I want to tell you about my transformative ten-day cultural trip to the south African country, Namibia. A country rich in languages, cultures and beautiful landscapes. Each day I spent there was like a new chapter in a book I didn’t know I needed to read. After arriving, we kicked things off with a baboon walk - but the rain was pouring. The baboons huddled together, cold and quiet, and we were just as soaked. It was a raw introduction to the reality of life in the wild. On day two the sun came out and the baboons came alive climbing all over us with playful energy. We also walked with cheetahs, silent and graceful beside us. Later, we visited the Anti-Poaching Unit, where their dogs sniffed out hidden illegal items and demonstrated how they’re trained to stop poachers. It was thrilling and intense. Photo by: Gro

We visited a local school at N/a’an ku sê on day three, where we spent time with the kids - warm, joyful, and curious. Their laughter and openness made it one of the most heartwarming and unforgettable parts of the trip. In the afternoon, we saw a flowing river - an incredibly rare sight in Namibia, and truly special to witness. 330

We left for Harnas Wildlife Foundation early in the morning on day four and arrived at lunchtime. After lunch we visited the Lifeline Clinic and Epukiro. It was eye-opening to see how they were living compared to how we live. The next day we worked on enrichment activities for the animals, then witnessed a leopard being darted and sent to Windhoek for an MRI. Seeing such a powerful animal up close in that state was unforgettable.

We saw carnivore feeding - raw and real. Later, we spent time with the San Bushmen people, learning about their traditions, tracking skills, and deep connection to the land. We had perfect weather for rhino tracking on day six. Our guides followed signs through the bush and told us how to track rhinos and eventually we saw them - massive and majestic. We returned to the Lifeline Clinic afterward, now a familiar and meaningful place. On the seventh day we left for N/a’an Ku Sê after breakfast. When we arrived, we ate lunch and went on a safari, where we saw giraffes, elephants and rhinos, before heading into Windhoek. After going to bed early the night before we woke up early and explored Windhoek, visited markets, and had a wild game lunch kudu, springbok, and zebra. Then it was time to say goodbye and head to the airport. Photo by: Gro

We landed back in Denmark, changed in ways we didn’t expect. Namibia gave us more than a trip - it gave us perspective, connection, and memories I’ll carry forever. Written by: Gro Gimm Grau Damgaard

N E PA L / HIG H TRE K I Nepal vandrede vi gennem Himalayas stier, op ad bjergsider og ind i små landsbyer, hvor te og smil blev delt i morgensolen. Vi så solen stå op over sneklædte tinder, fandt styrke i fællesskabet og ro i naturen. Når benene var trætte, bar udsigten os videre. Nepal blev en rejse i højde, med nærvær og oplevelser, vi aldrig glemmer. In Nepal, we trekked along Himalayan trails, climbed steep hills, and passed through small villages where tea and smiles were shared. We watched the sunrise over snowy peaks, found strength in the group, and peace in the landscape. When our legs were tired, the views carried us on. Nepal became a journey of altitude, connection, and unforgettable moments.

Vores skoletur til Nepal var et uforglemmeligt eventyr. Vi vandrede gennem de smukke Himalaya-bjerge, nød de imponerende udsigter og udfordrede os selv undervejs. Vi spiste en masse Dal Bhat, det traditionelle nepalesiske måltid, som blev en fast del af vores rejse. En af de mest meningsfulde dele af turen var besøget på en lokal skole, hvor vi mødte eleverne og gav dem gaver. Det var en rørende og øjenåbnende oplevelse. Vi afsluttede vores tur med et besøg i Kathmandu, hvor vi udforskede de livlige markeder og shoppede lidt. Turen var både sjov og inspirerende -Sebastian Kuhlmann Our school trip to Nepal was an unforgettable adventure.

I Panama mødte vi en verden af palmestrande, vandfald og stærke fællesskaber. Vi spillede volleyball med lokale unge, dansede til livemusik og blev budt velkommen med åbne arme og blomsterkranse. Vi vandrede i tropisk natur, svømmede under brusende vandfald og lyttede til historier om landet og kulturen. Undervejs blev vi klogere på både os selv og hinanden – og tog hjem med salt i håret, mudder på skoene og smil, der ikke ville gå væk.

I Sydafrika mødte vi både vilde dyr, varme smil og stærke fortællinger. Vi spillede fodbold med lokale hold, besøgte skoler og fik et indblik i livet i de farverige townships. Vi lærte om apartheid, frihedskampe og fællesskab – både gennem museumsbesøg og mødet med mennesker, der selv havde oplevet det. Naturen tog pusten fra os: vi så løver og zebraer på safari, sejlede langs kysten og vandrede under store træer. Undervejs blev vi klogere – ikke bare på landet, men også på hinanden. Vi tog hjem med dybe indtryk, nye venskaber og en oplevelse, der sætter sig i hjertet. i de farverige townships.

In South Africa, we met wild animals, warm smiles, and powerful stories. We played football with local teams, visited schools, and got a glimpse of life in the colorful townships. We learned about apartheid, the fight for freedom, and the power of community – both through museums and through the people who had lived it. The nature took our breath away: we saw lions and zebras on safari, sailed along the coast, and walked beneath giant trees. Along the way, we grew – not just in what we saw, but in how we connected. We returned home with deep impressions, new friendships, and an experience that stays with us.

From Bucket List to Boarding Gate My South Korean Dream come true Expectations meet reality On Saturday, March 15th, a longawaited dreamtrip finally became reality. With my suitcase packed and excitement in the air, I boarded our flight from Copenhagen Airport, headed for South Korea—with a brief layover in China. Ever since 2016, visiting South Korea had topped my bucket list, and now the moment had arrived. The excitement overpowered me, slowly overtaking my consciousness.

Settling in and hotpot

The two-three-hour journey passed in a blur, as the exhaustion of travel finally caught up with me.

Our welcome dinner consisted of a well know, local dish: hotpot. At the center of the table simmered a pot of tasty, beef-based broth, in which we cooked our meat and greens, a unique and interactive dining experience that was both cozy and completely new to me.

Landing at Incheon Airport felt surreal…. As we boarded the bus to TCIS ,where we would spend the next few days, I was still trying to process that we were actually in South Korea and it wasn’t just some weird fever dream.

When we arrived at TCIS that same evening, we were warmly welcomed by the school’s teachers, whom greeted us with big smiles and guided us to an area, were we could drop off our luggage. Shortly after settling in, we headed into the city for our first Korean meal. 348

First Impressions (Incheon and TCIS)

School Life and Korean BBQ The following day we got the opportunity to experience education in Korea. We joined our international students in their IB classes at TCIS. The familiarity of their lessons due to TCIS being an IB-diploma school, allowed us to participate actively, making it both an fun and learning culture exchange.

Isabella N. Urban That same evening, our hosts treated us to another part of Korean food culture: Korean BBQ. Koren BBQ is essentially, just sharing food around a grill, which we did with our students, giving us a chance to bond with them in a relaxed manner. After dinner, we explored the city streets and did a bit of shopping.

Seokgwan High School Wednesday morning we grabbed our bags and left from TCIS, heading towards Seoul. Upon arrival in Seoul, we headed straight for Seokgwan High School to meet up with our Homestay partners. Yes, we had 2 school visits back on back, but we quite enjoyed both and learnt a lot about Korean culture from experiencing it firsthand and overwatching lessons in both English and Korean.

We ended the night in a local photo booth (a popular spot for Korean teens to visit) where we captured one of my most cherished moments of our trip.

Seokgwan was an amazing experience, and my partner was the sweetest ever, she even gave me a gift when we had to leave Seokgwan, to experience more of Seoul.

Snow and bonfire

Cat café and Namsan Tower

Tuesday, was our last full day at TCIS and we woke up to a rather pleasant surprise. Right outside our window all of Daejeon was covered in a thick layer of snow, creating a beautiful white cast over the school grounds. Classes were similar to those we had the day prior, but we still certainly enjoyed them, knowing that it would be our last before heading towards Seoul. In the evening, the students and teachers had prepared a nice heartwarming goodbye, with our Korean friends with both Korean cosine and a Bonfire to wrap up our stay at TCIS.

In Seoul our teachers had prepared quite the list of activities we had asked for doing, during the trip. First up was a Cat café, but due to it not being open yet, when we arrived, we did a bit of shopping first before visiting the cute hairy creatures. I am not joking when I say we wanted to stay there forever, because the cats were so cute but (unfortunately) we had other things to do. We visited Namsan Tower, which is one of Koreas most well-known landmarks, then wrapped up the day with a nice improv meal at a convenience store, before heading back home to the hotel. 349

Lotte World and F1 Sunday morning we woke a bit earlier than usual; hence we were going to Lotte World!!! I was so excited, because Lotte World had been a place I could only dream of visiting. There was one minor issue for me though, hence Sunday was also raceday. So, while we were taking in our new fascinating surroundings, I was following along with the Formula 1 race as well as I could. Turns out I’m better at multitasking than I initially anticipated, and I ended up having a great time. Lotte World had multiple places you could rent out uniforms, so of course we had to do it as well, while we were there. As if that wasn’t enough, Lotte World were celebration Pokémon Spring Festival, so everything had been transformed into an IRL version of Pokémon with so many great photo locations.

Templestay and War Memorial The following 2 days were spent at Gyeongbokgung Palace and The War Memorial Museum for a deeper cultural 350 experience.

PVA Before heading to the Palace, we got dresses in Koreas national clothing, also better known as Hanboks. I picked a simple purple one and was handed a beautiful flower embroidered top to go with it, which I can be seen wearing on the top of this very article, beautiful right? Anyways, the War Memorial was seeing a whole other side of Korean history and for me, was a reminder that even though everything is peaceful for now, Korea is still in the middle of a cold war. It's a situation which is weird to grasp while you’re standing there looking at the past and gaining an overview of the many souls lost during the Korean War. Our third last day of the trip was spent at Geumsunsa Temple, located in the mountains of Seoul. The temple stay provided me with a break from everything and gave me a chance to just enjoy the trip without the need to be on my phone 24/7. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end sooner or later, and after a relaxing day back at the hotel, it was time to head back to Denmark. “Visiting Korea was an amazing experience, and I am so grateful I got the chance to visit at least once in my lifetime, hopefully it won’t be the last.”

T E X A S HOM E S TAY I Texas blev vi en del af amerikansk hverdag – fra high school spirit til cowboyhatte og burgere på størrelse med hoveder. Vi boede hos lokale værtsfamilier og fik indblik i livet i en helt anden kultur. Vi deltog i undervisning, heppekor, rodeo og amerikansk fodbold, og vi mærkede den særlige energi i skolens fællesskab. Vi besøgte universiteter, museer og stadioner, red på heste og fik nye venner på tværs af Atlanten. En rejse fyldt med kontraster, grin og masser af “y’all”.

On our cultural trip to Texas, we got an authentic

experience of classic cowboy culture. We saw a rodeo, met impressive longhorns, and felt like extras in a real Western movie. During our stay, we lived with local host families, which gave us a unique insight into their daily life, traditions, and lifestyle. Food played a central role on the trip – we tasted everything from juicy BBQ and spicy

Mexican dishes to classic American pancakes with syrup. It was an experience we’ll never forget.

Texas Homestay

Af Vincent Alvin Smith

Ankomst Minibusserne trillede stille ind mod Fort Worth lidt over klokken fire om eftermiddagen. Solen var lavt på himlen, men den bagte stadig gennem bilruderne sekundet airconditionen blev slukket. Dallas Stockyards havde en særlig still, uden for den kendte bydel var der en blanding af klassisk bygget western huse men også lavklasse amerikanske moteller og nedslidte huse.

Longhorns Eleverne steg ud én efter én. Nogle stod og småsnakkede, andre tjekkede Snap, og et par stykker stod og klagede over varmen. Men det forsvandt da vi kom end I en traditionel lille cowboy butik som lå på den anden side af parkeringspladsen vi var parkeret på. 20 minutter efter at havde gået ind i den lille cowboy butik kommer de fleste ud med en autentisk cowboyhat og et smil på læberne, derefter går vi mod midten af stockyards hvor der lige om lidt kommer et optræd med store Texas Longhorn kør. Bag os var den kendte Fort Worth Stockyards arena. Den var ikke stor, men den havde karakter. Slidt træ, et amerikansk flag hængende lidt skævt og en gammel Americans bil

356

med et sæt af Longhorn kørernes horn omme forand. Hele stedet lugtede lidt af cowboyfilm og gamle historier.

Stockyards Arenaen Indenfor i arenaen var der dæmpet lys og en stemning, som man kun kan få når 200 mennesker samles for at se cowboys blive smidt af tyre. Publikum var en blanding af lokale og turister nogle med store hatte og endnu større bæltespænder, andre med telefoner klar til at filme. Ikke som et show lavet for turister, men som noget folk faktisk kom her for hver uge. For at heppe. For at opleve kulturen om og om igen. Speakerens stemme rungede over højtalerne. Han havde den der dybe, rustne klang der kun kan komme af mange års erfaring og lidt for mange cigaretter. “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Fort Worth Stockyards!” og så blev lyset skarpt, og det hele gik i gang.

Bull Riding Første disciplin var bull riding. Altså... hvis man aldrig har set en voksen mand blive kastet af en 900 kilo tung, rasende tyr efter 2,6 sekunder hvad laver man så?. Hele publikum hev efter vejret i kor hver gang en rytter faldt, og jublede som gale hvis én blev siddende mere end 6 sekunder. Det hele gik så hurtigt selv længe efter tyrene var trukket tilbage bag hegnet. Så kom barrel racing kvinder til hest i fuld fart rundt om tønder. Det var imponerende, hvor præcist og hurtigt de kunne manøvrere de kæmpe dyr. Og hestene var i topform, med skinnende pels og muskler der arbejdede som maskineri. Der gik et gisp gennem

357

publikum, da flere af rytterne snittede tønderne og flere af dem væltede. Man kunne mærke skuffelsen fra rytterens side, så meget træning for bare at vælte tynden sådan der. Det var næsten som at være med i en film, hvor der var rigtige konsekvenser. Mellem de forskellige discipliner var der underholdning. En rodeo-klovn guidede en flok markeret børn ned i stadionet for at jagte en lille farverig snor på en Clavs ryg, det barn som fik fat i det vandt en pris. Ikke som en cirkusklovn men som en ægte hjælpsom dreng som bare godt kunne lide af løbe frit rundt inde i arenaen. Aftenens højdepunkt var “team roping”. To cowboys på hver sin hest, den ene skulle fange tyrens hoved med lasso, den anden dens bagben. Det var koordineret kaos. Hestene fløj af sted, rebene blev slynget i luften, og når det lykkedes, klappede og hujede alle selvfølgelig.

Efter Showet Da showet sluttede, og lysene langsomt blev dæmpet, sad folk lidt og summede. Nogle tog billeder af arenaen, andre snakkede lavmælt om deres yndlingsøjeblikke. Tilbage mod bussen var der diskutioner om hvad for en del af showet der var mest interessant, og der var et par som ægte troede på at de kunne gøre det helt samme som cowboys og cowgirlsne kunne gøre I minibussen på vejen tilbage var der en helt speciel energi som egentligt ikke kan beskrives, det er en følelse af træthed men alt for meget spænding til at falde i søvn, ligesom natten før ens fødselsdag da man var barn. vi havde set noget ægte. Noget fra en helt anden verden. Og det var nok det, der gjorde størst indtryk.

T H AIL A N D I Thailand blev vi mødt af varme – både fra solen og fra de mennesker vi mødte. Vi plantede mangrovetræer, besøgte templer, lærte om Buddhisme og deltog i lokale projekter. Vi sejlede mellem øer, snorklede i klart vand og gik på opdagelse i farverige markeder og frodige skove. Vi prøvede os selv af i nye omgivelser og mærkede, hvordan kultur, natur og fællesskab smeltede sammen. En rejse fuld af kontraster, ro og oplevelser der satte sig. In Thailand, we were met with warmth – from both the sun and the people we encountered. We planted mangrove trees, visited temples, learned about Buddhism, and took part in local projects. We sailed between islands, snorkeled in clear waters, and explored colorful markets and lush forests. We challenged ourselves in new surroundings and felt how culture, nature, and community came together. A journey full of contrasts, calm, and lasting impressions.

Thailand Sejlads - An Unforgettable Trip

I want to tell you about the 10 days I spent in Thailand, it may seem like just any other school trip, but to me and the class it was so much more. Thailand was an amazing trip where everyone got to explore new opportunities and push their limits! We got so many eye opening experiences from visiting a girls home in Bangkok, all the way to learning to sail in Phang Nga Bay. We saw so much beautiful nature on the islands in the bay, and saw some beautiful coral reefs. We were immersed in Thai culture in so many ways including the food, the religion, and the people. We were in so many different environments, from the bustling city in Bangkok, to the untamed jungle in Khao Sok, and all the way to the exotic Phang Nga Bay.

Culture We started our trip in Bangkok where we visited two temples, and got a revelatory experience about buddhism and religious culture in Bangkok. We got the special experience of visiting a girls home and spending an eye opening afternoon with them. We then went to Khao Sok where we hiked through the national park and saw the amazing nature of Thailand. We then got to sail around Phuket for 6 days,

364

where we got to experience the beautiful Phang Nga Bay and all the gorgeous islands. We ended our trip by experiencing a completely different education culture at BCIS in Phuket.

UN Sustainable Goals On the trip we incorporated the UN goals in a way that made you not even realise they were there. In Bangkok we had a focus on the first goal, No Poverty, where we visited a girl’s home. The experience was so eye-opening for so many of the students, getting to interact and talk to people from much different backgrounds than our own. While in Khao Sok we had a focus on goal 15, Life On Land, where we saw and appreciated the nature around us, including the different animals such as tarantulas, and the different tree species. On the boats our focus moved to goal 16, Life Underwater, where one of our teachers, Heine, got us to collect data about the microplastics in the water. We would hold a net underwater for 5 minutes, every 30 minutes, and then Heina would examine the finds and tell us about them and what they could mean. Togetherness/What did it mean to you? This trip really brought all the students together, whether it was pushing our limits or finding familiarity in a foreign place. We got to know each other’s boundaries and got to push each other to get the most out of the trip. The trip has meant so much to all of us, and has really changed all of our perspectives on not only Thailand but ourselves and those around us. While on the boats we were forced to spend 6 full days with each other, and while to some that many not sound fun, to us it was just a new way to get to know and understand each other.

US ROA D TRIP E A S T På vores road trip langs østkysten af USA gik vi fra monumenter i Washington, D.C. til strandene i Florida og lysene i New York City. Vi lærte om amerikansk historie, politik og menneskerettigheder – både gennem museer og møder med folk på gaden. Vi deltog i demonstrationer, gik i Martin Luther Kings fodspor og lyttede til fortællinger, der satte tanker i gang. Undervejs voksede vi tættere sammen som gruppe og fik oplevelser, vi aldrig glemmer.

Vi kørte fra by til ørken til bjerg, oplevede alt fra In-N-Out burgere til rodeo og overnattede tæt på stjernerne. Undervejs lærte vi amerikansk kultur at kende – og hinanden endnu bedre. Turen var fuld af kontraster, roadtrip-stemning og uforglemmelige øjeblikke i både støvler og sneakers.

American Cultureshock Los Angeles I want to tell you about the wildest culture-chock I experienced coming from Denmark, and going to furthest part of the United States. Since the US is a part of the western world. I along with many others didn’t believe that the differences in culture and life in general would be as big as in different corners of the world. I was wrong, and I realized that only few days after arriving in the city of Los Angeles. This city by itself exposed me and the rest of the students to so many different ways of life in a big city. One side of the city was like being in a movie while other sides were poor and often had people that were either homeless, on drugs or involved in criminality. This city was my first exposure to American culture and it was by far the most culturally different out of all the places we went. The food culture was very different, many religions and social classes were represented and especially in the poorer areas people tended to have strong accents and a high use of local slang.

370

Following statistics from SF.gov In Febuary of 2025. 61 deaths occurred due to unintentional drug overdose in the city of San Fransico.

San Francisco

After the first wave of culture-shock we made our way up the state of California and arrived in the city of San Francisco. This city had even more differences in income amongst the people. San Francisco was even more expensive to live in and at the same time had a massive drug problem. Looking back at Denmark where we travelled from we would never see people that are heavily influenced by drugs on the street, and this was a big cultural difference in all of the big cities we went to. Another big difference was the size of the big beautiful cities. Everything was bigger in the US from the cars and the buildings to the meals.

Arizona

The next stop on the trip was Arizona, where we wanted to see how the sports in the US were different from sports in Denmark. We went to a rodeo and a baseball game. The US had a very unique sport culture and a lot of the sports they play are not a thing outside of the US. The rodeo also seemed like a very dangerous sport compared to other sports you would see in Denmark.

Northern California The trip then went to the northern parts of California to witness some of the different national parks, but on the way there we stopped at a local Highschool to socialize with people our own age. There were many cultural differences between us and we spoke to them about differences like alcohol culture, gun culture, driving age, sports and free time activities. After a day of learning we headed further north to see beautiful nature with giant cliffs, waterfalls and redwood trees. The nature in the US is nothing like Denmark, it’s not only more extreme but it also varies a lot more. We went through everything from snowy mountains to desserts throughout the trip, and it was very fascinating to see the climate completely change within an hour of driving.

Nevada

Our last stop on our cultural journey was the tate of Nevada. We went to see one of Americas biggest pieces of unique nature “The Grand Canyon” and it was unlike anything else we had seen on the trip. At last we went to the city of Las Vegas to experience leaving the next day. Las Vegas was the most unique city we had been in with many giant hotels in shape of pyramids, castles and palaces, but what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Overall we learned a lot about the different parts of American culture and what it means to live in the US and how the society, nature, traditions, and sports are in general. By Sebastian Kjær

M E E T T H E L OC A L S På kulturfagsrejserne har eleverne gjort en indsats for at møde og forstå de kulturer, de har besøgt. Gennem samtaler med lokale og nysgerrige spørgsmål har de øvet interkulturel kommunikation og fået nye perspektiver. Erfaringerne blev formidlet videre til resten af skolen gennem små film i projektet Meet the Locals – med fokus på at opnå indsigt i andre kulturer og reflektere over, hvad man selv lærer i mødet med noget fremmed. During their cultural subject trips, the students made a real effort to engage with and understand the cultures they visited. Through conversations with locals and curious questions, they practiced intercultural communication and gained new perspectives. Their experiences were shared with the rest of the school through short films as part of the Meet the Locals project – with a focus on gaining insight into other cultures and reflecting on what we learn when encountering something unfamiliar. 382

In addition, they also wrote a longer report in English about the country and brought a third form of communication to their presentation. This included creating VR experiences, videos, smells, and materials collected on the trip.

Efter Kulturfagsrejserne fik projektklassen til opgave at producere og præsentere en plakatserie fra deres rejse. Her ud over har de også skrevet en længere rapport på engelsk om landet og taget en tredje formidlingsform med til deres præsentation. Det inkluderede både lave VR-oplevelser, videoer, lugte og materialer samlet ind på rejsen.

The students were super engaged in showing each other their results - definitely a morning filled with a great atmosphere.

Eleverne var super engageret i at vise hinanden deres resultater – helt sikkert en formiddag fyldt med god stemning.

Udveksling i Spanien har været en kæmpe oplevelse for vores 10. klasser. De har fået et indblik i den spanske kultur, hvor undervisningen blandt andet først starter klokken 9.30, frokost er noget, man spiser omkring klokken 15, og aftensmaden først bliver spist tidligst kl. 22.00. Det har været noget af et kulturchok for vores elever, men de synes også, at det har været sjovt at prøve. På skolen i Mesia blev vores elever taget godt imod og blev hurtigt centrum for opmærksomheden. På skolen deltog vores elever blandt andet i spansk og engelskundervisningen, og da de var inkvarteret hos spanske elever, fik de muligheden for at bruget sproget i en anden sammenhæng end blot i klasselokalet.

The exchange in Spain has been a great experience for our 10th graders. They have gained an insight into the Spanish culture, where classes don’t start until 9.30am, lunch is eaten around 3pm and dinner is eaten first eaten around 10pm. It has been a bit of a culture shock for our students, but they have also enjoyed the experience. At the school in Mesia, our students were welcomed and quickly became the centre of attention. At the school, our students participated among others, in Spanish and English classes, and since they were hosted by Spanish students, they had the opportunity to use the language in a different context than just in the classroom..

PÅ S KE JAG T E N TH E E A S TE R H U N T I dag fejrede vi påskens komme med en stemningsfuld Påskejagt, som bragte eleverne tættere på hinanden og gav store smil over hele linjen. Sammen udforskede de skolens kroge og oplevede, hvordan fælles leg og en smule konkurrence kan styrke båndet mellem dem. Glæden ved at finde farvestrålende påskeæg og dele begejstringen med både kammerater og lærere understregede endnu en gang, hvorfor vi sætter fællesskabet i centrum. Eleverne tog hjem med rigere venskaber i rygsækken, og vi håber, at denne oplevelse vil varme deres påskeferie og lade fællesskabsfølelsen spire videre i den kommende tid. Today we celebrated the coming of Easter with an atmospheric Easter hunt, which brought the students closer together and brought smiles across the board. Together, they explored the corners of the school and experienced how shared play and a little competition can strengthen the bond between them. The joy of finding colourful Easter eggs and sharing the excitement with peers and teachers alike underlined once again why we put community first. Students went home with richer friendships in their backpacks, and we hope that this experience will warm their Easter holidays and allow the sense of community to flourish in the time to come.

Gastronomi handler om læren om råvarer og hvornår de er i sæson og smager ALLERBEDST. Vi besøgte Danmarks lille perle i Kattegat. Læsø er et skønt sted, med masser af fantastiske råvarer/specialiteter - Læsø salt, jomfruhummer, solbærsaft, honning fra den brune bi, tang. Vi havde slået os sammen med Ridning - så i alt var vi 44 elever og fire voksne, bosat på Læsø efterskole.Turen handlede aller mest om at få “hænderne i dejen” og få lavet lidt mad.

Gastronomy is very much about understanding ingredients – knowing when they are in season and taste their VERY BEST. We visited Læsø. It’s a wonderful place with lots of fantastic local products and specialties - Læsø salt, Norway lobster, blackcurrant juice, honey from the native brown bee, and seaweed. We teamed up with the Riding group so in total, we were 44 students and 4 adults, staying at Læsø Efterskole. The main focus of the trip was to get our “hands in the dough” and do some cooking.

It was very cool and nice. I had much fun going on the music trip and recording a song we chose to play. The food was so amazing thanks to Carl”

YOG A Profilfaget Yoga overnattede på skolen i den sidste periode og brugte mange af skolens gode faciliteter. Gennem perioden blev eleverne udfordret fysisk og mentalt gennem forskellige yogatraditioner som hatha, yin og vinyasa, ligesom vi trænede åndedrætsteknikker og meditation. I løbet af ekspiditionsdagene dyrkede vi yoga sammen, lavede mad, lavede naturmandalaer og smykker, så film og nød en forkælelsestur til Himmerland Spa for at komme helt ned i gear. Namaste!

26-28.05.2025

The Yoga subject stayed overnight at the school during the final period and made great use of the school’s many facilities. Throughout the period, students were challenged both physically and mentally through various yoga traditions such as hatha, yin, and vinyasa. We also practiced breathing techniques and meditation. During the expedition days, we did yoga together, cooked meals, created nature mandalas and jewelry, watched films, and enjoyed a pampering trip to Himmerland Spa to fully relax. Namaste!

BE ACH CL E A N U P Onsdag aften tog en gruppe elever ansvar for miljøet og samlede skrald langs stranden mellem Rønbjerg og Lendrup. De fandt alt fra cigaretskodder og plastik til fiskenet – spor af menneskelig adfærd i naturen. En vigtig påmindelse om, at små handlinger gør en stor forskel for vores fælles havmiljø.

G OL F Aktivitetsdag på Ranum Efterskole College på Løgstør golfbane. To hold piger var på golfbanen i dag, og for de fleste var det første gang de prøvede at slå til den lille hvide golfbold. Greb, opstilling, jern, sving og putning blev gennemgået og der var masser af smil, jublen og latter, lige som det skal være, når bolden kom op og flyve

Activity day at Ranum Efterskole College on Løgstør Golf Course. Two teams of girls were on the golf course today, and for most of them, it was the first time they tried hitting the small white golf ball. Grip, stance, irons, swing, and putting were all covered, and there were plenty of smiles, cheers, and laughter, just as it should be, when the ball took off into the air.

FU L L HOS T / S K AG E N Den sidste fulde værtstur gik til Danmarks nordligste punkt. Vi boede i Skagen og udforskede området omkring. Vi besøgte Skagen, Bunkermuseet, Det Grå Fyr, Råbjerg Mile, Grenen og nogle dejlige restauranter. Det har været et travlt år med besøg i større danske byer samt Estland og Tyskland. Tak til jer alle for godt selskab.

The final full host trip went to the very tip of Denmark. Staying in Skagen, we explored the surrounding area. We visited Skagen, the bunker museum, the grey tower, Råbjerg mile, Grenen and some lovely restaurants. It has been a busy year if visiting major Danish cities, Estonia and Germany as well. Thank you all for your company.

Bæredygtighed i praksis I 2024 har Ranum Efterskole College udarbejdet sin første ESG-rapport. Den giver et klart billede af, hvordan skolen arbejder med klima, sociale forhold og ansvarlighed. Rapporten har ført til konkrete valg – blandt andet at der fremover rejses mindre. Det sker med omtanke, så vi stadig kan styrke elevernes globale udsyn og samarbejdet med vores venskabsskoler. Samtidig er der sat øget fokus på social bæredygtighed og på, hvordan efterskolelivet kan gøre en forskel – både lokalt og ude i verden.

Sustainability in Practice In 2024, Ranum Efterskole College created its first ESG report. It offers a clear picture of how the school works with climate action, social responsibility, and accountability. The report has led to concrete decisions – including a choice to reduce travel in the future. This is done thoughtfully, so we can continue to strengthen students’ global outlook and partnerships with our friendship schools. At the same time, there is an increased focus on social sustainability and on how life at efterskole can make a difference – both locally and around the world.
