Culture In this magazine we have described ideas and culture subject travels. The descriptions are based on below mentioned mission.

Values of the school are aimed at preparing learners to manage themselves in a complex and ever-changing world. This is one of the reasons why every profile subject must be shaped in unity between learners and teachers - based on the theme for the trimester in question. It is our experience that the complexity and dynamicy of life is better experienced in a strong community and by being open towards others and the outside world.

We are a school of the times, and activities stimulating a sense of community have to be meaningful to learners and teachers alike.

The culture subjects bring together different learners and teachers in a unique development process. It is our experience that the guiding relationship established between learners and teachers during travels is the ultimate learning environment.

We focus on individual development with respect for the community.

Learners and teachers are very diverse and there will be many different priorities and targets during the year under the heading ‘development and education in the committing community’. It is for this reason that we focus on creating a framework that will support these many different interests - and in extension the many new and exciting culture subjects and travels. This strategy also means that self-payment on culture subject travels may vary accordingly.

2nd trimester’s culture subject are chosen in the end of September. Learners and teachers have the opportunity of shaping new profile subjects. The theme for this period is world citizenship and globalisation, and it is through this focus that we will meet other cultures around the world. These profile subjects are called culture subjects and we will prepare an expedition in extension of these subjects, which are to be carried through in Jan/FeB 3rd trimester’s profile subjects are chosen in December.Learners and teachers can once again shape new subjects, and learners are at this stage very active and participatory. The goal is to use experiences from the 1st and 2nd trimesters’ profile subjects and combine interests, activities and cultural meetings. The theme is personal formation, and this process is often activated when our learners meet other cultures on their own terms and use the experiences gained from the first two profile subjects. Travels in 3rd trimester are in beginning of April, before

The purpose of the trip The main purpose of the trip is to visit N/a a’n ku sê - Namibia Wildlife Sanctuary, which is a non-profit organization that among other things takes care of injured and orphaned animals in order to release them back into the wild.

We will have 10 full days at the center and be a part of their team of volunteers and through that, we will be able to work with/experience:

Australia Cairns The study trip to Cairns in Northern region of Queensland, Australia will provide the students with the opportunity to interact with the indigenous people of Australia as well as the descendants of the English immigrants, learning about the consequences of the English colonial influence on the aboriginal inhabitants of Australia. They will also experience the unique ecology and wildlife of Australia with focus on the quickly disappearing Great Barrier Reef and the rainforests, where we will learn about the impact of human interference in the different ecological spheres found in Australia.

The impact of the English Imperial period on the Aboriginal tribes: The Yirrganydji people was a group of Australian Aboriginals considered the original custodians of the coastal strip between Cairns and Port Douglas. In recent time, the different tribes have mixed but there is still a strong representation of aboriginals in the Cairns region. As a part of the cultural aspect we would like to examine the impact the arrival of the English had on the aboriginal societies and what it has done to them socially and economically over the years.

We currently plan on establishing contacts with a local school and arrange for a couple of days of exchanging experiences - learning about the ongoing integration of the aboriginals and how they maintain contact to their own culture in the process.

The wildlife and ecology of Australia: Australia is home to some of the most amazing and unique wildlife on the planet. Cairns itself is nestled inbetween amazing national parks and the marine wonder of the Great Barrier Reef. We would like to utilize this opportunity to look at the state of the ecology of Australia. Climate change and general human impact is changing not only the landscape we live in but also nature itself.

Cuba CCuba has a remarkable and unique culture and it is in many ways an obvious destination for Ranum Efterskole College to visit.

Cuba, which is one of the West Indian islands, is located approximately 350 km. from Miami and was previously a Spanish colony. In 1898 the island was conquered by the USA, and it became a popular tourist destination during the 20th century - particularly due to the many opportunities for gambling. In 1959 there were more than 13 casinos on the island! The same year Fidel Castro and Che Guevara lead the successful rebellion against the American control - Cuba has since then been under a communist political system. The collaboration with the Soviet Union resulted in a trade embargo from the US - and today the effect of this is still visible in the streets and homes of the Cuban population.

The fact that Cuba has been separated from the rest of the world since 1959 is in many ways, what makes Cuba so special and worth exploring. The culture there is very unique and particularly Cuban music and dancing are without comparison. African, Spanish and American culture mixed together in a wonderfully dynamic combination, from which especially salsa has become very popular around the world.

In our preparations we will focus on the history of this country, learn some salsa moves and take Spanish lessons. We will prepare various outings and visits on Cuba. For the most part of our stay, we will stay in Havana, where we will also visit a school and a youth club that specializes in music and dancing. We will also take a dance class with

a local instructor. On this travel, we will also go to Trinidad, which is located on the south side of the island.

Trinidad is, like the citycenter of Havana, listed on the UN world heritage list, because this city is one of the world’s best kept Spanish colonial cities from that period. From here, we will have an opportunity on horseback to see the beautiful area with mountains, sugar plantations and waterfalls.

If you like music, dancing and collaborating with other young people from a culture very different from your own - then Cuba is the right choice! In preparing for this travel, we will also make our own presentations about life in Denmark and at efterskole, research themes that we may explore further on our travel and discuss how best to communicate our many experiences upon our return from Cuba.

Jamaica Join us for a musical tour through time and space to Jamaica, and experience a music culture that can be traced over the whole world.

Jamaica is the third largest island in the Caribbean and was formerly a British colony. Most citizens originate from Africa, but there are also many Chinese, Indians, Arabs and Europeans, which is the reason why the music can be traced back to many different continents. Jamaica has, however, created its own sound, which is evident in genres such as ska, rocksteady, dub music and dancehall, but most famously reggae.

We will in our classes work with the music style and music history-by playing, listening and reading. We will concentrate on culture, history and religion in order to understand the emergence of Jamaican music.

On our expedition we will go out and experience the music, investigate what it means to the Jamaican people. We will find an opportunity to play for– and with Jamaican musicians, visit a Jamaican school in order to see to what extent music is part of their school days.

After our return to Ranum, we will illustrate and communicate our new knowledge and competencies by playing a concert and give presentations on the Jamaican music culture and history.

Jamaica is for you who finds music interesting, as well as history and culture. It is not important whether you can play an instrument or not, but an interest in Jamaica, cultural music and particularly reggae, is on the other hand, very important.

Nepal Himalaya This culture subject has been completed 3 times with great success.

Nepal has a long tradition for mountaineering and hiking. We will walk on the paths of ancient and holy trekking routes. On this expedition, we will feel all the elements on our body. Through windy passes, where the air is noticeable thin, and mountains are covered by snow.

We will look over the roof of the world, the Himalaya massif and see the sun rise/down over some of the world’s highest and most beautiful mountains.

This year’s plan is to visit Lower Solu Khumbu an area south of Everest a place where tourists rarely comes.

We will hike through colourful villages through, amazing forests of rhododendron, sleep in primitive teahouses and if all goes as planned, we will climb the Pikey Peak which is 4067 meters over sea level. We will get to experience the unique culture and Nepalese hospitality in the villages. Several places on the trip we will have an amazing view of the worlds larges mountains, and only few things in this world can make give the same awe as seeing an 8000 meter mountain top raise in the horizontal!

Make no mistakes!!! These beautiful impressions and experiences are not gained without hard work. This expedition will probably be the most challenging thing you have ever tried. We have many vertical meters to conquer before we will finish our trek. In the mountains, getting help may be difficult, so trust is key and we must help each other through this very special experience. It is only few, who have this opportunity in life...

In preparing for this travel, learners must investigate social, political, cultural and historical conditions in Nepal. Learners will in this relation be asked to prepare a presentation of a chosen theme for the rest of the group.

The themes are categorised under 2 headings: culture and nature.

Culture is focussing on Kathmandu and the area around this city. Nature is focussing on Chitwan National Park. We may incorporate a third destination—Pokara.

The choice made in relation to the trek will influence where our final destination on this trip will be.

Working with the physical aspect, such as training individually and in groups, will also be an element in this subject and in our preparations for this travel. This will also teach our learners something about relations and dynamics of groups, which is useful knowledge when trekking together in a large group.

We will also focus on equipment and techniques prior to our travel. These are skills useful for the rest of your life.

Do the Maoris maintain their traditional culture and way of life? Have they adapted to modern society? How and to what extent? How does this challenge the traditional culture and more specifically the young Maoris?

We will do a comparative project with young people from a Maori village and young people who attend a British/New Zealand boarding school in Christchurch.

In collaboration with PCS and Kirby, a unique high school stay is planned, in Santa Cruz county by the Monterey-bay in California-south of San Francisco.

The target is, to learn about American culture and language, but also to meet young high school learners from all social classes and learn about high school life in the US. You will be accommodated by local family, where you will follow the family’s teenager to high school. You must expect to present yourself and Denmark the first day at high school-a presentation planned in detail before we depart for the US. Subject knowledge: There is a great focus on the subject knowledge during this trip, and it is expected that you can understand and speak English well enough to keep up with teaching in high school-and that you are interested in this programme, and therefore will participate fully-also in contacting other young people and companies.

Little Havana on the other hand, is a Cuban community located in the heart of Miami - and is a centre of multicultural activity. Though there is not much to do there other than walk around and talk to some of the residents, it is still a fascinating place and well worth adding to our itinerary.

Everglades Tour This year we hope to add another wildlife element to the trip by exploring the Everglades by bicycle/tram. Understanding the things that make Florida a unique part of the United States is important, and the wildlife that can be found here plays a large part of that.

Seminole Village The original inhabitants of Florida were the Seminole Okalee Indians, and this visit will enlighten the students on what life was like in Florida before the colonisation of America.

We hope that the students will ask lots of questions about the cultural norms of the native Indians. It is also located right next to the Hard Rock Cafe, which is a possible dinner destination depending of course on the price.

Courtroom Visit The legal system in the United states is very different to the one in Denmark, it is in fact it is different to most countries in the EU. We are lucky enough to know the Honorary Danish Consulate in Miami, Jon Rosenthal, who grants us access to a real courtroom.

U.S. Virgin Islands In the center of the Caribbean archipelago the three small islands St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John, also known in Denmark as “The Danish West Indian Islands” and in the rest of the world U.S. Virgin Island. The islands is a cultural destination with a unique part in the Danish history.

From the colonial times stormy legends to the story about the slaves oppression to their final rebellion. All these stories mixed with the Caribbean atmosphere, colourful modern culture and long tropical beach, will make this excursion an experience for life.

The former Danish islands in the middle of the Caribbean, have every thing which we dream of on a cold winter day; rainforest, beautiful sunsets, culinary experiences, white sand beaches and a clear blue sea. We will tour the islands and visit the old sugar mills, museums that tell the story of the Danish glory days, colonization and decay. We will explore towns with names such as Christiansted & Charlotte Amalie and visit local schools that can tells us about the life as a youth on the islands.

The Ocene around the islands is no less than amazing, and we will take great advantage of this fact when we snorkel, sail, SUP’s and get in contact with the amazing animal life. On our journey around the islands we will visit the rainforest and the beautiful countryside with all sorts of colourful and exotic flours.
