The study trip City experiences The study trip is an important part of the academic content in every semester. Without this trip we would not really be able to call ourselves the international meeting of cultures. At the study trip we visit a metropolis in Europe. We have previously visited Berlin, Barcelona and Istanbul. We are away for 5-7 days and return home with a backpack full of experiences. Cultural exchange, art, music, architecture, history, experiences, inspiration and community are key words for our study trip. Together we will travel to a city to explore and familiarize with a city’s history and culture. Curiosity, the search for language comprehension and way of living in another country starts many weeks before departure. Together, we plan the trip and acquaint our self with history, music and art in the country. To move around in a city, to use the public transport and learn to use the cultural offers in the city. This is one of the goals by the choice of a metropolis. But not least the experience and inspiration that we bring back home for new art projects, designs or to new tracks. This is very significant. The journey is a combination of tours together, presentations and experiences with afternoons and evenings off, where you on your own can explore the culture of a metropolis. Common classes Song, team building, lectures / stories cultural evenings The Folk High School Songbook is important to us at Brenderup. We sing every day when we have our morning assembly. Every week we have singing classes and music class often get us to hum along. The song opens up presence in the community - lyrics and melodies reveal new layers of the importance of using them often. Team-building activities put your interpersonal skills to a test - you will be aware of your strengths and gain insight to where you have something to work on. Your ideas to solve a specific task can often be refined, and with help from the group, the cooperation may move mountains (almost!). You get good stories and interesting lectures by the teachers of the school. They have interesting things to say and they are eager to tell about it. By the weekly cultural evening you will be introduced to food from other places in the world, different dances and games and music and language with a “skewed” sound. You are here to help us to show the uniqueness of your culture and you get a ton of impressions from other people’s cultures. Feature days/week Basically we plan feature days / weeks where it fits in during the semester. It is a project where all the students collaborate on a project. For example a theater project or an art or a decoration job. Feature Days can also be days when we go on trip to see something that has relevance to what we working with. Project week The Project week gives you the ability to work independently with a self-selected topic in art, music, design, dance, theater, film, photography, technology, etc. You will gain insight into the work flow from conception to description and implementation of the project.
