<span lang="DE-AT" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 102%;">The
trip to England was really amazing in my opinion. It was not only a lot of fun
but we also learned a lot about the production of different products and why
you should buy Fairtrade products instead of others. When we arrived in England
we got picked up by our host families. My host family was really nice and
whenever I needed something, they tried their best to help me, so I am really
glad I got such an awesome host family. On the first two days of the project we
did lots of activities based around Fairtrade. I really liked the activity
where we had to build our own football out of newspapers, plastic bags and
small ropes. But Thursday was probably my favorite day because we went to Harry
Potter World. Harry Potter World is basically a Warner Bros. Studio in Watford,
where they display all the different places and the equipment used to film
Harry Potter. But the other days also were a lot of fun, especially the trip to
“Bounce”, which is a trampoline park near Peterborough and the trip to
Cambridge, where I bought lots of awesome souvenirs. I also really enjoyed the
trip because I got the chance to practice my English-speaking skills and I made
lots of new friends, who I am still in contact with now. I am already looking
forward to hopefully meeting some of them again at the meeting in Austria.

<span lang="DE-AT" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 102%;">On
Sunday January the 22th my friends and I went to Peterborough, which is a nice
place to the north of London. The journey took us about 7 hours and when we
came there our host families came to pick us up. My host and his mother were
very nice friendly Portuguese people and welcomed me friendly. On Monday they
showed us the TDA, which stands for Thomas Deacon Academy and they also have
the slogan Trust Discipline Aspiration.On Tuesday we went to see the Cathedral
of Peterborough, which is a huge church in the centre of Peterborough. Our
guide had such an impressive voice, that it got very thrilling and I liked it a
lot. The next day we made a fair trade workshop and went afterwards to Bounce.
Bounce is basically a place with many trampolines. It was so funny and my
friends and I had lots of fun there, even though it was so exhausting.On
Thursday we went to the Harry Potter World. We saw so many original props,
which were used in the film. It was very impressive and so interesting.
Afterwards everyone bought something at the Harry Potter Shop. On Friday we
made a trip to Cambridge. We made a boat tour and we saw the University of
Cambridge from the outside. The boatman told us some very interesting things,
even though it wasn’t that easy to understand him, because he had an accent.The
next day was our departure. It was a sad day and my friends and I would have
liked to stay longer because we had a great time and we really enjoyed it.

week my friends and me were in England, Peterborough. We went there on the 23
of January and came back on the next Saturday. In England we stayed at host
families, who were all completely different. Peterborough is a multicultural
town, some English, some pakistani, arabic,
muslims,......I didn't think I would be hosted by such a friendly
family. I felt very comfortable there. Also the food was sooooooo good.<br />
The most time I spent with my Austrian friends and my host called Noor. She was
the youngest child of my host family, which had 4 children. Noor is such a nice
and lovely person. On Wednesday we went
to „Bounce“, which is an indoor trampoline park in England. We all looked
forward to go there. It was amazing because at „Bounce“, you can try different tricks for example
flips. But it was so exhausting.<br />
The next day we went to "The making of Harry Potter". It was so
great. We saw so many original props, which were used in the films. At Harry
Potter World we all spent a lot of money, because everyone bought something. In
the evenings we were in town shopping or drinking something. We were at
Starbucks, Tamu, Creams, Boots, JD and things like that.<br />
I made a lot of new friends and it was very funny. (Julia Sifrar)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="DE-AT" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 102%;">On
the 23rd of January our group travelled to Peterborough, England. The first day
started at 9 o’clock in the Exam Hall. This is a hall of the Thomas Deacon
Academy (TDA) which is used for presentations and exams. On the first und the
second day we made different FAIR-TRADE-workshops. The Wednesday started with a
FAIR-TRADE-football-presentation and we had to made a football with newspaper,
plastic bags and strings. Our team (students from Denmark, Slovakia and
Austria) won this competition and I think our team was the best one. After
lunch we drove by bus to ,,Bounce” . This is a big hall with many different trampolines.
It was so nice, but the time wasn’t long enough. In the evening our Austrian
group went with some Italian and English students to town and ate desserts at
Creams. The Thursday was the best day. We travelled to Harry Potter world. It
was sooooo nice. Every Harry Potter fan has to see this.On the Friday we
visited Cambridge and went punting.
After this day our Austrian group and the hosts went to Tamu and ate
desserts.A big thank you goes to my hosts, the Hibberts. It was so nice to stay
with this family. It was a great experience and it was cool to make new
friends. (Stefan Vanzou)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and all technical parts, how the movies were done. We saw all famous
requisites, rooms, monsters and the clothes of the actors. It was fantastic. At
the Cambridge university, we took a boat ride around it. We learned a few
things about the university and took beautiful memories with us. At the bounce
land, we bounced around, until we were out of breath. It was a really nice time
on the trampolines. At the way to the Cambridge university, we stopped at Hotel
Chocolat to see and buy some chocolate. The host family was very nice to me all
of the time and had everything perfectly organized. It was an unforgettable
experience, the highlights made it a wonderful trip. (Wiktor Rauter)</span></span><span lang="DE-AT"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h3>
<br />A greeting to my host from</h3>
<h4>
Christina Ploug Hansen</h4>
<br />
It has been such a nice week. I have experienced so many new things. Slovakia might not be the country I had thought I would be visiting, but now I am happy that I have had the opportunity to visit such an exciting country as Slovakia. First I want to say a “thank you” to my host, Dominika. I am blessed for having had the opportunity to know her. From the first step, I took into her apartment, it felt like home. She was very attentive and asked me many times if I wanted something or if I was okay.<br />
<br />
I think the day on the farm was so much fun. I rode on a tall horse, even though I am a bit scared of horses. I held a lamb in my arms. It was a cute little lamb. We also got to experience how the Slovakians make cheese. I know that they love cheese, so of course it was part of the schedule. We have also seen the very beautiful country side in Slovakia -the high mountains and hills. It is not something we are used to in Denmark. I am happy that I have some new friends from Slovakia now. I am definitely going to visit their country and my host again. I miss them and it already. <br />

<br /><br />I just wanna say thank you very much for such a nice week. Your family is lovely, and you made me feel welcome. Before we arrived in Slovakia, we didn’t really know what to expect. But whatever expectations we might have had, you guys managed to exceed them all. Your nature is beautiful, and you were all so kind to us. If we had problems paying for our food at a restaurant, one of you would come up and help us translate before we even asked. <br /><br />We saw many beautiful castles,<br />

Hello Lucy<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px;">
<span lang="EN-GB">It's almost half a year since we visited you, and I would like to send you a greeting. I had such a good time visiting you. You and your family took such good care of us. Besides all the delicious food your mother made us (especially the roast dinner and the cream eggs), one of the advantages of living with you was that we got to know your culture very quickly. I have so many great memories from our visit. I think one of my favourite days, was when your parents drove us to Wagamama and we ate the most delicious meals. Afterward, Poppy, Hattie drove back to your house with us, where I tried cream eggs for the first time, what a revelation, I wish I had bought some. One of the other best memories is going to Harry Potter world, I could live there! As if Harry Potter world was not wild enough, we had to wait in the queue in the worst and coldest bus I have ever been in, for more than 5 hours. When we finally got home, your mother made everything so much better with a hot cup of tea.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">The trip to Peterborough was excellent, and we experienced many
memorable things together with our hospitable hosts that made us feel very
welcome. There were many different things on the program, but I especially
enjoyed the trip to Cambridge, where we went punting. Our hosts showed us
around in the idyllic city and we ate pancakes at a local café to get the heat
back in our cold feet. The trip to Cambridge was just one out of many wonderful
experiences, and although it was a busy week, we would not be without any of
the experiences we had. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">We used our English every day, and it was hard to return to only speaking
Danish again. We got a good impression of Peterborough and visited the
beautiful cathedral among other things. Our hosts took us out for dinner, and
they also introduced us to roast dinner and other delicious English food. It
was really a pleasure to feel so comfortable in a foreign country and get such
a good relationship to the other students involved in this Fair-Trade project.
Thank you very much for a lovely week!</span></div>

I want to thank you and your family for giving me a place to stay. I really liked being there. You were all very hospitable from the first day. Say hi to your Mother and sister from me.<br />

The Engagement to England was really great. The school system was very different from ours – Your school system is much stricter than ours and that was interesting to experience. Otherwise the things were very well planned. <br />
<br />
I loved the trip to Harry Potter land, because it’s something we all know about it, but never experienced. Besides this, your churches were really beautiful and it was interesting to be in Cambridge. You were all very hospitable and I would definitely like to come back.<br />

On the 22nd of January I went to Peterborough. I went with seven of my classmates from Denmark, and we were all very excited. We had a warm welcome on Sunday evening at a local hotel, where the teachers were staying. My host was Poppy, whom I knew from when she visited Denmark. We drove home and she showed me her house. Her family were all so nice, and the experience just got better and better throughout the week. I became good friends with her dog Jimmy, whom I still miss very much. <br />
Poppy and I spent a lot of our spare time with the other Danish students. We went shopping, we ate at Wagamamma and watched movies together. I also learned how to play SHED by her family. I couldn’t have wished for a better host family. <br />
We also did some exciting Fairtrade related stuff. We played a game which was meant to illustrate how unfair the conditions of the farmers are. It was about creating oranges for a company to buy them. We also came up with an idea for our own company; the idea of my group was to create sandals made of recycled material. Among other exciting things we went to see the local cathedral which was really nice. On Friday we went to Cambridge to see the city. We saw the university and went punting on the river Cam. <br />

<h3>
Fairtrade Peterborough- a greeting from</h3>
<br />
<h4>
Maria Tveen Rindalsholt, Sønderborg Statsskole, 2.d</h4>
I was very happy to visit Peterborough in January 2017. We experienced the many differences there are between England and Denmark both culturally but especially in the way the school systems differ - school uniforms, the buildings and the system itself. It was nice that the programme was so closely related to Fairtrade - almost every day we did something directly connected to the theme. Some of the great things (not directly connected to Fairtrade) we went to see with the whole group was ‘Harry Potter World’ and Cambridge. Cambridge was a very beautiful city and even though we had a very cold punting trip, there was so much to see that it didn’t really matter.<br />
<br />
My hosts were Flo and her mother Pip. I stayed at their place with another Danish girl. They were both extremely friendly, for instance Pip had done some research on typical Danish breakfast to make sure that we liked the food. We both felt very welcome. Flo was really good at taking us out to experience different things; we went out to eat, walked around the city and visited some of the other English students. The week gave us some great memories to remember 😃</div>

Peterborough - a greeting from</h3>

The trip to Peterborough was very good. One of the best things was that the host families were so sweet and kind to us, as they made us feel welcome in their homes throughout the whole week, and they always made sure that we weren’t short of anything. During the week, we spent in Peterborough almost every night the host families had organized something for all of us from Denmark and some other countries. One night we went out to eat at a restaurant which was very good and we all got to talk to each other. <br />
<br />
It’s was very exciting to be with so many young people from so many different countries and make new friendships. The school in Peterborough did an amazing job organizing activities for us all, and the whole week was full of fun and educational activities about Fair Trade and about the city of Peterborough. It was a very good trip and I am definitely going back. 😃<br />

<h2>
Visiting England – Fair Trade - a greeting from </h2>
<h4>
Julie Sand Christensen </h4>
It was a pleasure visiting England and experiencing all the differences between the Danish culture and the culture in England. For example, it was interesting how the school in England was compared to the schools we have in Denmark. Also, the school system is quite different. <br />
<br />
During our trip to England, we had a lot of memorable experiences. The one, I liked the most, was the last day, when we visited Cambridge. On our way to Cambridge we first visited a chocolate store, where all the chocolate was Fair Trade. <br />
<br />
When we arrived in Cambridge, we went for a paddle trip ( called punting) on The Cam river. This was one of the many good experiences in England. It was a good way to see the city while relaxing. Unfortunately, it was pretty cold the day we visited Cambridge, and therefore the boat trip felt very cold, because we weren’t walking around or being active in other ways. Afterwards we walked around Cambridge and it was once again proven, that it is a great place. <br />
<br />
The only sad thing about this day was that we, the Danish girls, were leaving for the airport and returning to Denmark in the evening.<br />

<br /><br />I had a wonderful trip to Peterborough back in January. I stayed at Hattie’s place with her and her lovely family. They were so nice to me and they took a big part in giving me such a good experience in England. I can’t thank them enough for their kindness and for hosting me. I think, they were very hostable to open their home for me. It gives another and better view of the culture in another country when you stay with a host family instead of staying at a hotel. <br /><br /><br />The English hosts of this trip had made a great week program for us. The activities varied from serious working with Fairtrade to be only for pleasure. We worked mainly with Fairtrade in the school for example we tried to recycle a coffee bean pack into a new product and we took part in an orange farmer game, where we tried to be a Fairtrade farmer. Beyond that, we visited Bounce, a trampoline world, and we visited Cambridge University. There were so many beautiful buildings in Cambridge and the nature around was entirely idyllic.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think, the best part of our trip was our visit in Harry Potter World. It was amazing to see the place where the movies have been filmed and the properties they have been used. In our spare time, the Danish students and their hosts spent a lot of time together. One evening, we at Wagamama. The food tasted really good and I can sincerely recommend the place. The week have been very good and instructive. I hope, we can keep the contact and I can come back one day and visit you all again. </div>

went back for more, enjoying a second ride around the hill. This was a lovely

The Bala Sports team talked about the work they do before setting the group
another challenge – to trade as crop growers in a third world country. With

would then attempt to sell at market. The teams consisted of family members,

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I don´t know where to start.. It was the greatest time
i had in my life in another country. The Fair Trade project allowed me to see
behind the curtains of some countries and the people that are living there.. We
had a nice trip from Klagenfurt to Denmark and in the afternoon we arrived in
Sonderborg. All the Host Families welcomed us in their hometown and we went
home to eat something and go to bed. The next day has dawned and we visited the
school and met our project partners from Slovakia, Italia, Germany and England.
After the great tour we had a quiz about Sonderborg and Fairtrade by itself..
The quiz was made by students of the Sonderborg Staatskole and they distributed
the qiuzcards all over the city. So we went around to solve the quiz and at the
same time we knew the city better and won an overview of that beautiful
country. Personally i was impressed by the beauty of Denmark. Afterwards we
went back to our host family home. The next day was the best one i think
because we played the whole day a game about Fairtrade and how it becomes that
farmers lose their children and wife and on the other side how they can get in
the Fairtrade business and how they get better money for their coffee.. We
lived as farmers and we felt on our own bodies how hard they live and how good
Fairtrade support them. In the evening we watched a movie with a couple of us
in the school cinema.. It was so nice we brought food and drinks.. We also
visited an international manufacturer of thermostats and cooling and heating
systems. It´s called Danfoss and they produce worldwide the most components for
these systems. Afterwards we went into a amusement park and drove with segways.
The program also had planned that we saw one of the biggest milk manufactures
and cow farms in the area. There we saw how the cows that are responsible for a
big part of the danish milk live and how cute calves could be.. We drove there
with the bus and we had soo much fun in it.. We met new friends in this week
and it was a great time to stay there. All the teachers organized that
wonderful trip to Denmark and I´m glad that I can say I am part of the project!
Thank you very much for that week in Sonderborg. It was a journey trough a lot
of different cultures, people and different experiences, not only about Fairtrade
also about people or about the differences between whole Europe… It was a
amazing Time! (Noah) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I think the trip to Denmark was a very good
experience. I learned a lot of things about fair trade. I made new friendships
and I have been to a new country. The whole project was organised very good.
Everyday we learned some new things and everyday we did something. We lived in
Sonderborg, which is an island in Denmark. The city is very nice and the nature
also, there were a lot of old buildings which looked good. We lived with
students from Denmark who also participate in the Erasmus-project. We had
school everyday, but it was not real school we had excursions or had to did a
group work like designing a T-shirt logo. After we finished the day in the school
we had free time. In the free time we
met in the city to eat something or just to talk. The city is very near to the
sea, it was a good place to sit and eat ice cream. The day I liked the most was
Thursday, we played a little role game. The goal oft he game was that we learn
something about the tread of coffee. The game was made by “Though road”, you
could have different roles like a farmer who produces the coffee or just a
exporter. The game was very reality true, my role was a farmer and during the game
I learned what are the pros of making a cooperation with other farmers and
getting fairtrade. The time in Denmark is one thing in my life I will never
forget. I really enjoyed the time there and I hope I will met all the people
there again. (Moritz)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">On the first day we became a tour through the school.
It was a very modern school. Then we played hockey in the big gym, it was a
very funny game because only one group has normal hockey sticks and the other
and the others had swept tennis racket and so on. Then we had to eat in the
school.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I think the second day was best because we played a
game called ToafRoad. The goal of game is to manage its own coffee farm and
sell his own products. On the afternoon the students must create a T-Shirt. On
Wednesday we visit one of the biggest company in Denmark called Danfoss it was
very boring but on the afternoon we go to Universe and the best from the park
was the Segway track. On the fourth day we must make our own presentation about
Fairtrade, then we must go to a class and talk about Fairtade and it was so
cool because the older student must hear to us and they all say it was very
interesting. In the evening we are going to a concert of classic music and I
think it was very interesting because I’ve never seen this. On the last day we
visited an organic farm but it was not really interesting because in Austria
there are many organic farms. The tour trough Ribe (this is the oldest Town
from Denmark) was also very interesting but it was too long.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">My host family was very nice and at home we must speak
English or German because only the mother and the younger Brothers can speak
German. The People in Denmark are very relaxed and nice. (Michael)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">We learned in the project about Denmark and Fair Trade
and what´s behind this logo. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Day 1 (Monday, April.4<sup>th</sup>.2016): We got a
tour through the School. It looked very nice. After that we played hockey in
the gym. It was very funny to use brooms, dustpans and tennis rackets in a
hockey game. The city hall was also very interesting. I didn´t see something
like this before and that we got drinks was very friendly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Day 2 (Tuesday):
We started to play a game. In this game the exchange students were
coffee farmers and they should sell their coffee to survive. It was a new
experience for me and very nice. In the afternoon we formed groups and should
design a motive for a T-shirt. We had to be very creative. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Day 3 (Wednesday): At first we visited the Headquarter
of the company Donfoss to see what this is and what the company produce. They produce
heating systems, cooling systems …. I think this was a little bit boring but
okay. A highlight of this day was the Segway track. I have never driven
something like this before. It was so nice. I also did a presentation at this
day. I was a very useful experience to do a presentation in English.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Day 4 (Thursday): In the morning we formed groups
again to work on a presentation about Fair Trade. Then when it was finished we
tried it on students from Sonderborg Statsskole. At 8 p.m. we listen to a
concert of classic music, really interesting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Day 5 (Friday): First we visited an organic farm. It
wasn´t very special for me because I have been
living on an organic farm for six years, but it was nice to see a
Denmark version. The tour through Ribe the oldest village in Denmark was also
very interesting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">At the end I want to say that I was really happy to be
part of this project. My host family was very friendly. The project was very
well organized.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">MY CONCLUSION: I would take part in a project like this again </span><span lang="EN-GB">:) (Dominik)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">On Sunday the 4th of April I and
four other students from my school and our English teachers travelled for one
week to Sonderborg in Denmark. We took part in the 2nd Fair Trade Meeting
together with students and teachers from Italy, Great Britian, Slovakia,
Germany and of course Denmark. We arrived in the evening. After a short welcome
at school we met our host families. My host sister was Nadia. She is a very
nice girl and we became really good friends. We both love horses and do horse riding.
Also her parents and three sisters are very nice and lovely. We had a lot of
fun together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">On Monday morning we started with
the project at the school in Sonderborg. After a short introduction we played
hockey. This was really funny. In the afternoon we had a treasure hunt in the
town. We had to look for Fair Trade products. This was very interesting and we
saw a lot of the town.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">On Tuesday we played a game called
"Tough Road". Everybody played a role, like a farmer or trader. This
was a little bit difficult. In the afternoon we designed in little groups
collages to the theme "Fair Trade". The best one was printed on
T-shirts for all students. There we had a lot of fun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">On Wednesday we
visited"Danfoss" a big company for pumps, ompressors, solar and wind
power. And we also visited the "Univers Science Theme park". Thgere
we were in a 5D cinema and we were allowed to drive with a segway. For me it
was really interesting and exciting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">On Thursday we had a lecture about
"Faur Trade", Afterwards wwe worked in littel groups to prepare a
review of the lecture and we had to perform it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">On Friday we went to Riube, a very
old town in Denmark. There we visited a Wiking museum. It was a funny and
interesting trip. In the evening we had a farewell dinner with typical Danish
food. It was delicious.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">On Saturday morning we had to say
good bye to all our new freinds. I was really sad about it. This week was
really a great experience for me. We had an informative and interesting program
and learned a lot of Fair Trade. I stayed with a very lovely host family and I
met students from foreign countries. With some of them I became good freidns.
And besides I could improve my English knowledge. For me it was and is a
fantastic project. Thank you to all our teachers, who offered this experience
to us. (Andrea)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
