Profile Subject selection 3. periode 15-16 Aim for the 3. Period profile subjects 1.

The theme of this period is Formation. Formation should be understood as the personal progress, in relation to the student’s conception of self, connection to other youths and adults, opinionating to social conditions and especially to different ways of living and different cultures. Thereby the experiences from the first period and the second period are combined in the third period. The subject’s course for the third period will be based around a nature sport- and/or a imagination activity which will be combined with a cultural perspective on the last profile subject journey. Therefore the profile subjects will focus on the individual development in relation to self-esteem, friendship, common interests, knowledge on other youth’s lives and knowledge on conditions in other cultures.

2.

The schools values aims to prepare the students to be able to handle a complex and changing world. Therefore, the profile subject shall be formed in cooperation between the students and the teachers, from the grounds of the theme formation. It is our experience that complexity and changeability in life, is best obtained by getting out of one’s comfort zone together, while having a strong community and open mind towards others.

3.

We are a modern school, and the activities creating community must be sensible for both teachers and students. The profile subjects forms strong common interests, which brings students and adults together on a unique development journey. Our experiences are that the supervising community, which occurs between the students and adults on the profile journey, is the ultimate room for learning, as it gives the students courage and desire to take charge for their life.

4.

Our focus is on the individual student’s development, while respecting the community. The students and the teachers are very different individuals and through the year there are several different priorities and aims, which all correspond with the main aim of development and education in a binding community. Therefore our focus has been on encouraging different interests and as before many new and exciting suggestions for profile subjects and expeditions has been made.

For that reason, the user payment for the different profile journeys differentiates.

The process towards forming the profile subjects: Students and teachers have suggested and prepared different suggestions to profile subjects. The interest towards the ideas has been tested at two rounds of surveys. From this we have found the 26 profile subjects, which can be found in this magazine, that are on the final survey, where the student decides from. Thereby must students should be able to get their first priority. If a student for some reason is not getting their first or second priority, they will have the possibility to reelect.

You can read more about the profile subjects – and get inspiration by looking at the pictures and videos on the homepage.

Important Information ECONOMIC AND PAYMENT 1. rate must be payed at the confirmation of the profile subject—and latest at 3.January 2016 THE SUBSCRIBTION TO THE PROFILE SUBEJCT ARE NOT FINAL UNTIL THE 1. RATE THAVE BEEN PAYED. (Except the subjects, without user payment) The cancellation insurance on 350,-kr., must be payed at the same time as the 1. rate—write it on the payment 2. rate must be payed latest at the 1. of marts 2016 The user payment on the profile subject depends on the final economy for the trip and often the airline ticket is decisive. Therefore, the 2. rate are not final until we know this expense. We aim to adapt the prices to the estimated prices which can be found in the description of the profile subject.

Reselection, drop out etc.: The expenses, the school has had and which cannot be refunded, will be charged in case of a reselection or in case of a student dropping out of the school (no matter the reason).

Our aim is that all students are able to travel according to their interests, but there will always be an economic concern and it is always necessary to priorities. A large part of the students will contribute to the user payment and the allowance. It is instructive to have conversations about choice, economics and how they can contribute and prioritize throughout the year.

Individual support: We would like to get into a dialog with the students and families, what might have economic challenges related to user payment. This means, that the student, parents and school together finds an individual solution for economic support and an evt. installment plan. The application form is available at the office and the application will be processed by the superintended and the financial department.

Safety on the profile journeys: We follow the Danish ministry of foreign affairs’ recommendations and advises parents and students to do the same. On the travels, the staffing is high and often we bring extra helpers. These can be “Youth guides”, which are former students; they have great knowledge about how we travel and the aim of the travels. At the homepage under Study trip you can find a safety procedure for all the trips for this period.

Travel insurances: The school have taken out travel insurance, which compliments the yellow insurance card, and the families’ own travel insurances, but the students luggage is not covered by the schools insurances.

The School offers a collective “cancellation insurance”, which covers the user payment. This can be slightly higher on the long journeys. As it is a collective pool, the compensation can maximum be a fairly share of the collected pool and the user payments is max.

The collective insurance is paid together with the first rate. The price is 350,-kr.

Vaccinations and evt. medicine are not included. The students have to make sure that they are vaccinated. Please check www.sikkerrejse.dk/vaccinationsanbefaling. For more information. Make an appointment with the doctor in proper time (3-4 days before)

REMEMBER! That your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the return date. ALL Passport must be kept in the office, in order for us to book flights and visa.

CUBA Pioneer—Lets explore and bond with a different culture

With its characteristic history and unique culture, Cuba is an obvious travel destination, which Ranum Efterskole College, for the first time plans to visit.

Since 1959, where the communistic control took over after the revolution, Cuba has more or less been living separated from the rest of the world. The historical background makes the country a unique travel destination; some even describes the experience as traveling back in time. However, don’t be fooled – the Cubans are a highly informed about the rest of the world and especially the youths are very interested in the western culture. The Cuban culture, is however still characteristic and loved by all Cubans. Especially the Cuban dancing and music are matchless. African, Spanish and American culture have provide a dynamic mix, where especially the salsa is known and loved on the dancefloors around the world, and is danced or played by more or less all in Cuba.

In the preparation for the trip, you can help form the class: What will we focus on in the cultural exchange with the youth from the country? What is our approach when we contact the different schools and youth clubs, in the aim of collaboration? What academic angels will we include – e.g. history, Spanish political theory, their educational system etc.? Which experiences and activities shall we explore? music, the Cuban national sport baseball, dancing, nature experiences, UNs world heritage sites or whatever suggestions you have…

The country, is one of the Caribbean Islands, on are located only 350km from Miami, was originally a Spanish colony. In1898, the Island was concurred by the USA, and during the first half of the 1900s a popular travel destination, and a place where the Americans could gamble, in 1959 there were 13 casinos in the country.

This year Fidel Castros rebel army captured the country along with among others Che Guevara, and ever since the country have had a communistic one party system. The cooperation with the USSR, influenced that the USA initiated a trade embargo against the country – this is why we to this day can see 50s cars, which are used to both taxies and private transportation, and in general the economy today is still marked by communism and the lack of cooperation with the West.

A suggestion for the journey could be that we stay in Havana during the main part of the stay to be able to do some of the activities which are suggested above. Take a day or two to visit Trinidad, which is located on the south of the Island, as it, just like Havana’s old center, is found on UNs list of world heritage sites, as et is one of the world’s best kept Spanish colonies from that period. Here it is also possible to visit a beautiful nature site with short mountains, sugarcane fields and waterfalls.

If you like to cooperate with youths from a different culture and look forward to get some incredible experiences from an untouched community, the Cuba Pioneer is just the profile subject for you.
