Global and citizenship with Torbjǿrn Ydegǻrd
Globalization in its literal sense of process of transformation of local or regional phenomena into global ones. It can be described as a process by which the people of the world are unified into a single society and function together.
Citizenship refers to a person's membership in a political community such as a country or city. It has different legal definitions in different countries. In countries with democratic institutions, usually only citizens are allowed to vote, or to carry a passport from that country.
We had to prepare presentation about educational system in our countries, how it looks like. After this presentation I saw many differences between countries. For example we have grades, and we have test every week, our studies are shared for two levels 1)it is bachelor degree and 2)master degree. Usually it takes 5 years to get higher education.

Special needs is a term used in clinical diagnostic and functional development to describe individuals who require assistance for disabilities that may be medical, mental, or psychological.
We had special needs in week 9 ,we learned how to work with children with learning difficulties especially with attention deficit disorder. Teacher showed us how to make children relaxed on lessons if they have such problems. They have special massage for children called tektil massage. Every time when student starts to became uneasy teacher turn on the music , strike a candle and do special atmosphere which helps children get relaxed.
We saw movies and pictures how teachers works with children, how classrooms looks like ( students have to have special separates places in each class to be more concentrate on lesson).
Another thing was that we sit in a circle and play a lot of different games. I think that sitting in ring is good solution because everyone have to take part in conversation , and everybody is equal.

We have Danish lessons since we came here, our teachers Christine M.Olsen and Signe Bekker do their best to explain us basic worlds from this difficult language( the second hardest language in the world after Chinese of course).When first lesson begin they invited us very warmly and baked a cake even for us which was so delicious. Then we started to learn hardly Danish language. Here are some worlds which I succeeded to learn :
Hvem – Who , Hvornǻr- When, Hvad hedder du ?means what’s your name , Jeg kommer fra Polen – I’m from Polen , Jeg hedder Marlena – My name is Marlena, Jeg er 22 ǻr, Tak –Thank you, Mǿjn – see you (typical only for this part of Denmark).
It’ is obvious that three months it is not enough to learn Danish, but anyway I’m so happy that we had this lessons not only worlds and grammar , but we learned a lot about culture ,habits, traditions of Danish society it gave me bigger knowledge how does it works.
Thanks to Christine for all that she did for us for this three months.
Tak.

We were in Aabenraa twice to see how we can work with children by music and movement. It was so interesting act and feel like an actor for a moment. We were shared for two groups and we had to prepare performance. The most interesting thing was that we had to use masks and white overalls. Firstly we thought that this is a piece of cake because of mask , we thought that nobody will see if we are ashamed or nervous. But later on we realized that it is much more difficult to express yourself with mask. If you want audience to understand your feelings you have to use more body language and it is really difficult for someone who had never contact with theather.

I really enjoyed week with international students, we had so many things to do .Through this week we learned how to express ourselves by music, language body movements. On Monday 9th We met in school with Jette , and other teachers with i.s and Erasmus students. There was an introduction how living in Haderslev looks like, we get to know each other. Then we had Danish lesson with Christina, as we used to have more Danish lessons we helped her with basic things , it was quite funny.In the evening we met in the canteen for “hygge” we song typical Danish songs, and had a little lunch, then we played games as Annette learned us. Later on we were in Andy’s bar drinking beers and singing international songs. On Tuesday there was an excursion to Ribe to Vikings museum, we saw how they used to live in that ages, then we visited old town it was a little town but very charming, and the sun was shining. We saw Ribe Cathedral which was originally build as a three –aisled church with two identical towers .In 1283, one of the towers collapses and the square Commoners’ Tower is erected as the town’s, using the material and the style of the day. When the spire collapses in 1594, it is replaced with a flat roof. Each century has marked the church either by changes in the construction or changes in the ornamentation; between 1982 and 1987 Carl- Henning Pedersen redecorated the apse.


Today we had very interesting music lesson with our new friends from international week. We had to listen to the music and with a lots of different instruments try to translate it:)It looks quite funny but we managed it. By this lesson I understood that I have no sense of music,I have to work a lot to repair it.:)

On Saturday we had very busy day :Marysia Gosia, Misza and me went for the first time for a gym see how does it look like. It was very very nice cause gym is not big enought just right for four girls, we were doing exercises for about one hour until my muscles said "enought".By the way since today I feel attemps , that I cant do any moves.After then in the evening we went to Misza and Vasek house for international cooking we prepared some food with Carlos typical for our culture , when we said to Misza and Vasek what we had they started to laugh because they prepared the same thing!I wouldn't even think that our culture is so similar but anyway after hours of preparations rest of people from Erasmus came and we started to eat it:) When we realized that we have enough, we put all of plates to the kitchen and started to play in cards,Mete explained us how to play poker and we get started , it was a really good game because in the end I was the second just after Carlos :)

One week passed since we came here. We start getting know each other day by day. For this whole week we had so much new experiences. Firstly we had presentation about schools in denmark.We had music lessson , we sang a lot and had nice group exercices which helped us to get know each other by music.On Thursday all of our erasmus friends went for practise, we stayed at home and later we went for a walk to the city center get to know Haderslev better.On Friday we had our first Danish lessons with two girls teachers (I forgot theirs names).One of teacher brought us a cake for good beginning of our learnig, the cake was so delicous I couldn't stop eating :).Yesterday we made suprise birthday party for Gosia and Krisztina in our home.We invited all erasmus people me and Mery bought cake and put denmark flags into it with candles so it was a lot of fun.Today when I woke up i saw sun!!! for the first time in denmark it gave me a lot of strenght so I redocorated my room, make it clean and go for a walk.
