YEARBOOK 2025 - 2026

Kære elev Ranum Efterskole College Yearbook 2025-26 er et minde om et helt særligt efterskoleår. Her samles dine egne oplevelser fra det 22. elevhold, årgang 2025-26 – med alle de andre elevers historier i en fælles fortælling. I en tid, hvor billeder, videoer og opslag hurtigt forsvinder i strømmen på sociale medier, håber vi, at denne bog kan bevare minderne for resten af livet. Lad bogen ligge fremme, bladre i den sammen med familie og venner, og fortæl om dine oplevelser, dine venskaber og livet på Ranum Efterskole College. Måske kan din historie inspirere andre til også at søge nye oplevelser, fællesskaber og eventyr. Året har været fyldt med aktiviteter, rejser, fag og fællesskaber. I har ikke blot deltaget i skolens mange tilbud, men også været med til at skabe nye valgfag, aktiviteter samt Profil- og Kulturfag. Det er noget af det særlige ved Ranum: at du selv har haft mulighed for at forme dit efterskoleår gennem frihed, ansvar og tillid. Gennem året har du mødt mennesker, skabt venskaber og fundet nye sider af dig selv. Du har været en vigtig del af de mange fællesskaber på skolen, og din tilstedeværelse har gjort en forskel for andre. Hvert smil, hver samtale og hver aktivitet har været med til at skabe det efterskoleår, vi har delt. Som en farve i den store regnbue på gavlen over festsalen er du blevet en del af fortællingen om Togetherness – vores fælles tro på mangfoldighed, respekt og stærke fællesskaber. Vi glæder os til at se jer igen til Gensynsdagen. #togetherness #ranumefterskolecollege Med venlig hilsen på vegne af alle ansatte Olav Storm Johannsen, Forstander

Årgang 2025/26 Academic year 2025-26

Dear Students Ranum Efterskole College Yearbook 2025-26 is a memory of a very special Efterskole year. Here, your own experiences from the 22nd class of students, year 2025-26 – are gathered with all the other students’ stories in a common narrative. At a time when photos, videos, and posts are quickly disappearing into the social media feed, we hope that this book can preserve the memories for the rest of your life. Leave the book out, flip through it with family and friends, and tell about your experiences, your friendships and life at Ranum Efterskole College. Maybe your story can inspire others to also seek new experiences, communities and adventures. The year has been filled with activities, travels, subjects and communities. You have not only participated in the school’s many offers, but also helped to create new electives, activities and Profile and Cultural subjects. That is one of the special things about Ranum: that you have had the opportunity to shape your boarding school year through freedom, responsibility and trust. Throughout the year, you have met people, made friendships and found new sides of yourself. You have been an important part of the many communities at the school, and your presence has made a difference for others. Every smile, every conversation and every activity have helped to create the Efterskole year we have shared. Like a color in the large rainbow on the gable above the banquet hall, you have become part of the story of Togetherness – our shared belief in diversity, respect and strong communities. We look forward to seeing you again at the Reunion Day. #togetherness #ranumefterskolecollege Best regards on behalf of all employees Olav Storm Johannsen, Principal

Velkommen til efterskolelivet! Dagen startede ud med en mindeværdig velkomstsamling på plænen foran hovedbygningen, hvor der blev budt velkommen til familier og nye elever. Vi indledte årets første dag med at synge ‘Livstræet’ og forberede hele årgang 22 på at “lege i livstræets krone”. Eleverne flyttede efterfølgende ind i deres huse, og mødte hinanden for første gang. Kufferterne blev pakket ud og familierne blev krammet og kysset farvel. Welcome to the new school year! The day started with a memorable welcome assembly on the lawn in front of the main building, greeting families and the new students. We began the first day of the year by singing ‘The Tree of Life’, preparing the entire 22nd class to “play in the crown of the tree of life”. The students then moved into their houses, and met each other for the first time. Suitcases were unpacked and families hugged and kissed goodbye.

For at blive hjemvante i nærområdet har alle elever udforsket Ranum og Rønbjerg. Det blev til mange kilometer, grin og nye venskaber. Eleverne har bl.a. gennemført en svømmeprøve, en forhindringsbane og flyttet en basketball med spisepinde. To get familiar with the local area, all the students explored Ranum and Rønbjerg. It turned into many kilometers on foot, lots of laughter, and new friendships. The students have, among other things, completed a swimming test, an obstacle course, and moved a basketball with chopsticks.

Hvert år finder eleverne på Ranum Efterskole College deres mest farverige tøj frem til det ikoniske Colour Party. Hver enkelte kontaktgruppe får tildelt en farve, som de både iklæder sig og pynter borde med. Mangfoldigheden stråler!

Every year, the students at Ranum Efterskole College bring out their most colourful clothes for the iconic Colour Party. Each contact group was assigned a colour, which they dressed up in and decorated their tables with. Diversity shines!

Det traditionelle Colour Party lagde stærkt ud med fotografering af kontaktgrupperne, mens eleverne kunne trække på smilebåndet over hinandens tøjvalg. Derefter rykkede festen til hallen, hvor der ventede lækker middag og underholdning.

The traditional Colour Party started off strong with a photo shoot of the contact groups, while students admired the different fashion choices. Then the party moved to the hall, where a delicious dinner and entertainment awaited.

Festen bød desuden på farverigt ansigtsmaling og disco rundt om livstræet i skolegården.

The party also included colourful face painting and disco around the tree of life in the schoolyard.

There was activity everywhere – sailing in Rønbjerg, photography in Aalborg, cooking in the kitchens, golf in Løgstør, and much more. The students showed great enthusiasm, which bodes well for the weeks to come.

PHONES BACK Efter halvanden uge uden telefoner fik eleverne i denne uge deres mobiler retur. Selvom mange har nævnt, at de faktisk ikke har savnet skærmen, var det alligevel rart at kunne tjekke ind med venner og familie – smilene lyver ikke!

After a week and a half without phones, the students got their mobiles back this week. Although many mentioned that they actually hadn’t missed their screens, it was still nice to check in with friends and family – the smiles don’t lie!

Efter to pool-sessioner bygger de nu på deres færdigheder for at være klar til at dykke i Egypten til oktober.

Learning begins beneath the surface. At Ranum, education is not just about classrooms, but about gaining perspective on the world.

Profilfagene udgør stærke interessefællesskaber, der bringer forskellige elever og voksne sammen om en udviklingsproces der er helt unik.

Profile Subjects form strong communities based on interest that bring together different students on a development process that is truly unique.

Vi oplever, at det vejledende fællesskab, der opstår imellem elever og voksne på rejsen er det ultimative læringsrum, som for alvor giver eleverne mod og lyst til at tage roret selv videre i livet.

The guiding community continues to grow between students and teachers on their Profile Subject Trips, and that is the ultimate learning space that gives students the courage and desire to determine their future lives.

De følgende sider giver et øjebliksbillede af de mange P1-profilfagsrejser.

total fool of myself. I think that’s what you get for 2am at the airport and a teenager with chronic anxiety. The same day all we did was lounge by the pool and explore the resort. There were so many cats and the sun was so nice we didn’t really need anything more. But then day one of diving came and it was incredible. It was sand, water and terrible visibility but we were diving. In the mediterranean sea and the sun blaring down. We’d done almost every practical skill, the last few completed the next day around 10 meters under. And that was it, we’d successfully become open water divers. We practiced skills like flooding your mask with water and getting the water out, taking your mask off underwater, putting it on, and getting the water out, and bringing yourself to the top by manually inflating your BCD. (aka your floating device) The most amazing parts of the trip were the shipwrecks though, obviously. The first time we saw one, it was around 18m under and we absolutely did not swim through it. If we had vivid dreams about swimming through… it was only a dream. It was absolutely incredible though, and there will never be enough words to describe it. The second and third time we went down was the last day… it was 30m!!! (So alas we were ADVANCED open water divers) That was also the only day I took underwater pictures for my family, so the only time I truly feel like I didn’t see it. I truly, truly wish I could talk so much more about being underwater and seeing more of the world but to be honest, the best thing I can say is what I thought when I looked at a fish. When I looked, I thought of a lion. And that these fish… they will never know a lion exists. The sharks, they’ll never know a zebra is a thing. Their world is so small, yet here I am so grateful to just be a human and know there is more to this life… to explore it! So yes, I could talk about the water… the shipwrecks… the day in Valletta, but god am I just so grateful to be able to see all this, and know that there’s more I haven’t yet explored. I’m just so grateful to have had this opportunity and to keep going.

Living with Host Families in Turkey: An Unforgettable Experience Staying with host families in Turkey was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. It completely changed the way I see the world and helped me understand how powerful cultural exchange can be. When I first arrived, I was both excited and nervous. I didn’t know what to expect, but what I found was a warm, welcoming, and unforgettable home away from home. One of the things that made this experience so special was being able to truly immerse myself in Turkish culture. Instead of staying in a hotel or tourist area, I lived with real families who opened their homes and hearts to me. This gave me the chance to see what daily life in Turkey is really like—from how they eat breakfast, to the way they greet each other, to how they spend time with family and friends. Every day was a learning experience. I got to try authentic Turkish dishes like menemen and gözleme, learn a few words in Turkish, and even join in traditional tea times. What made it even more meaningful was that the people I stayed with were around my age. It was amazing to see how, even though we grew up in different countries, we had so much in common. We listened to similar music, laughed at the same kinds of jokes, and shared similar dreams for the future. It was eye-opening to realize that despite cultural differences, young people around the world are connected by so many of the same hopes and emotions. Talking to them expanded my perspective and helped me understand how others live, think, and feel. Of course, living with a host family wasn’t always easy. At first, I was worried about doing something wrong or being disrespectful without realizing it. The language barrier sometimes made communication challenging, and I had to adapt to new customs and routines. But these small challenges were actually what made the experience so valuable. Every time I learned how to do something new, like greeting elders properly or helping prepare dinner the Turkish way, I felt a sense of accomplishment and growth. I learned to be patient, open-minded, and flexible— qualities that I know will help me for the rest of my life. What stood out the most was how kind and welcoming everyone was. My host family treated me like one of their own. They made sure I felt comfortable, included me in family activities, and always made time to talk with me. Their hospitality was beyond anything I had expected, and it made me realize how beautiful it is when people open their homes to others from around the world.

Our visit to Liverpool was a journey of music, togetherness and cooperation. We followed The Beatles' steps on The Magical Mystery Tour Bus, visited The Beatles Story and the British Music Experience, and jammed out with classics made by The Fab Four. Fun and enjoyment alongside each other was the focus whether we were cracking codes in an escape room or warming up in groups before busking on the streets. The climb up Mount Snowdon pushed us, but the experience and shared laughs made it worth it. Practicing Beatles songs for our street set brought nerves and excitement, and performing outside felt electric. Now awaits a concert back home to to finalise our musical journey...

Vandreturen op ad Mount Snowdon pressede os, men oplevelsen og de fælles grin gjorde det umagen værd.

I want to tell you about my trip to Liverpool with the music class of Ranum Efterskole College. It has been a week full of learning, teamwork, and shared experiences. What started as a school trip turned into an experience with impressive sights, history and most importantly, music. Liverpool has music everywhere, and it is impossible not to feel it. Our first stop after getting a good night sleep and coffee from the corner coffee shop was The Beatles Story Museum, where we explored recreated studios and exhibitions about the band’s rise to fame. Here we were guided by a narrator coming from devices handed out by the staff of the museum. This provided us with personal experiences from a vast variety of people who has helped The Beatles become the band that we all know and love including John Lennon’s sister Julia, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. Directly after we went round the corner to eat fish and chips. Here we encountered the first big problem of our journey which was the sheer size of our portions 118

with some finishing their plate and others struggling. Now it is time to hop on The Magical Mystery Tour Bus, where we followed The Beatles’ story around the city. We saw places like Penny Lane, Strawberry Field, and the houses where John Lennon and Paul McCartney grew up and stopping by many of the sights to take ridiculous pictures and listening to our guide passionately preaching the fabulous story of an equally fabulous group of musicians. Our final destination of the tour was The Cavern Club perhaps the most important venue for The Fab four with hundreds of concerts on record played by The Beatles at the venue. After taking in a substantial amount of new information it was time for us to do our own sightseeing. People got to do their shopping, and, on the way, we stopped by to watch street performances knowing that we were going to be in their position the very next day.

made ourselves ready to break out of an escape room. The experience was fun and enjoyable for everybody with the majority escaping on time. Stage fright started slowly creeping up on us as three months of practicing back at home had to be put into good use. The final practice began at the apartment. Our setlist consisted of Beatle's tracks and songs from artists inspired by The Beatles. At first, it was a bit chaotic. Some of us forgot lyrics, others missed chords, but everyone supported each other and helped things come together. When we finally performed on the streets of Liverpool, it was both exciting and nervewracking. People stopped to listen, take photos, and even sing along. Performing in public was a new experience for many of us, but it felt amazing to share our music and energy with strangers. In the evening, we spontaneously decided to watch a performance of the musical Book of Mormon, which turned out to be a big highlight of our adventure. Despite it not being previously planned.

next stop was a concert by the upcoming artist Chloe Slater in Manchester. One train journey and dinner at Nando’s later we arrived at an energetic concert experience that provided us with a broadened music taste and new memories. Not everything was about music. Last full day abroad consisted of the biggest challenge of our trip. It was climbing Mount Snowdon in Wales. The hike was tough, and the weather did not make it easier, but we encouraged each other all the way up. Reaching the top felt like a big achievement. The trip taught us more than just music skills. It showed how cooperation, communication, and shared effort can make any goal possible. As we get ready for our final concert back home, it feels like we have come full circle. We have learned from The Beatles’ story, challenged ourselves, and grown closer as a group. What started as a music trip turned into something much more meaningful. Liverpool taught us that music is not only about performing, but also about connection. From rehearsing in classrooms to busking on the streets and climbing mountains

Mindfulness in Málaga PROFILE TRIP: YOGA Yoga is one of the most mindful activities one can practice. It allows us to explore thoughts and emotions through meditation and movement. During our trip to Málaga, we were fortunate to experience this mindfulness under the warm Andalusian sun. We stayed at Finca Al Limón, an eco-lodge focused on sustainability and environmental respect. The property was run by a lovely couple, Mar and Peter, who immediately made us feel at home. Mar, originally from Italy, shared a cultural connection with me as we spoke in bits of Italian, exchanging smiles over our mutual background. . Her calm energy set the tone for the entire experience. One day, I chatted with

Each morning began with a fresh, locally sourced breakfast with eggs, warm bread, and delicious red, plump Spanish tomatoes . We’d chat over coffee and conversation, often talking with our teachers and Mar about mindfulness, and community. After breakfast, I often walked with an friend around the finca through the yard, the kitchen, and the peaceful corners of the property. 130

one of the cooks as she prepared typical Morrocan food. As she cooked, we spoke for nearly an hour about culture, and family. That simple exchange reminded me how food connects people across borders, languages, and traditions. Our yoga practice each day deepened the sense of peace presence that surrounded us. Under the Málaga sun, we learned to let go of tension, breathing in and out through our noses — an ancient Indian technique Mar taught us that centers the mind and body. .

One of the highlights of the trip was our visit to Ronda, a stunning “pueblo” on cliffs overlooking deep valleys and mountains. Our local guide showed us around, sharing the town’s rich history and hidden corners. Later, we had time to explore on our own. We wandered the cobbled streets, stopping at small shops, and soaking in the breathtaking views of cliffs.

That feeling of togetherness lingered long after we left. I realized that mindfulness isn’t just about inner peace, it’s about how we connect to others, our surroundings, and to the present moment. The mixture of cultures, languages, and shared experiences made the trip not only enriching but transformative.

Throughout the week, mindfulness wasn’t just practiced on the mat, it became a way of living. Whether during a silent morning stretch, a shared meal, there was a quiet joy in simply being together. Carrying a deeper sense of presence

On our final day, we visited the city of Málaga itself. We wandered through vibrant streets filled with music. We stopped for tapas, chatting with locals. Those moments of connection reminded me how valuable social interaction is — not just with friends, but even with strangers.

Whether during yoga peaceful sessions, shared laughter at meals, or quiet reflection under the sun, I found myself more aware, more grateful, and more connected than ever before. Mindfulness in Málaga wasn’t just an activity; it became a way of seeing the world.

Julen er festlighedernes tid og ingen december uden julebal. Aftenen startede festligt ud med taler og musikoptrædener, hvorefter maden blev præsenteret. En lækker klassisk julebuffet med rugbrød, leverpostej, fiskefilet og alt hvad man kunne drømme om. Klokken 19:00 blev der sagt værsgo til dessertbordet og med tunge maver fløj eleverne bagefter på dansegulvet. Senere på aftenen stod vi side om side og så det flotte fyrværkeri show på sportspladsen.

The evening began festively with speeches and musical performances, followed by the presentation of the food. A delicious classic Christmas buffet with rye bread, liver pâté, fish fillet and everything you could dream of. At 7 p.m., the dessert table was opened, and with full stomachs, the students flew onto the dance floor. Later in the evening, we stood side by side and watched the beautiful fireworks show at the sports field.

FU L L HOS T CH RIS TM A S / N E W Y E A R S Fuldt host-eleverne har haft en begivenhedsrig afslutning på december måned. Først blev julen fejret på traditionel dansk vis med hygge, fællesskab og sang omkring juletræet. Derefter gik turen på en nytårsrejse til Tyskland, hvor eleverne blandt andet besøgte det smukke slot i Schwerin og den hyggelige by Lübeck. På selve nytårsdagen fik alle eleverne mulighed for at prøve kræfter med skøjteløb, og om aftenen blev der fejret med forskellige nytårstraditioner. Blandt andet bar alle sjove hatte som en del af en dansk tradition, og ved midnat spiste alle 12 vindruer efter mexicansk skik. Den første dag i det nye år 2026 blev brugt på at nyde varm kakao og lækker kage. Senere gik alle en tur i regnvejret, som blot få dage efter blev afløst af et ordentligt snevejr. 216

The Full Host students had an eventful end to the month of December. First, Christmas was celebrated in the traditional Danish way with cosiness, fellowship and singing around the Christmas tree. Then they went on a New Year’s trip to Germany, where the students visited the beautiful castle in Schwerin and the cosy city of Lübeck. On New Year’s Day itself, all the students had the opportunity to try their hand at ice skating, and in the evening they celebrated with various New Year traditions. Among other things, everyone wore funny hats as part of a Danish tradition, and at midnight everyone ate 12 grapes according to Mexican custom. The first day of the new year 2026 was spent enjoying hot chocolate and delicious cake. Later, everyone went for a walk in the rain, which was replaced by a snowstorm just a few days later. 20.12.2025 - 01.01.2026

Det var ikke alle elever, der havde fået nok af sne og kulde i Sverige. Det blev tydeligt, da en flok elever satte kursen mod kælkebakken i Ranum for at få de sidste vinterlige oplevelser med. Tiden var dog knap, for allerede mandag eftermiddag begyndte sneen at blive tungere og vådere. Det forhindrede ikke eleverne i at give den gas – alle fik vind i håret, røde kinder og et godt grin med på vejen.

Not all students had had enough of the snow and cold in Sweden. This became clear when a group of students headed to the toboggan run in Ranum to get the last of the wintry experiences. Time was running out, however, as the snow started to get heavier and wetter on Monday afternoon. But that didn’t stop the students from having a blast - everyone got wind in their hair, red cheeks and a good laugh along the way.

PRE - SAIL ING PRO FICIE NC Y E X A M Sejlbådene blev taget op af fjorden i efteråret, og selvom der nok går et par uger endnu, før vi igen kan få vind i sejlene, er der ingen tvivl om, at eleverne glæder sig til at komme på vandet. Indtil da er fokus rettet mod den teoretiske del af sejladsen, hvor eleverne arbejder målrettet frem mod eksamen i duelighedsbeviset. I denne uge har undervisningen blandt andet stået på gennemgang af typiske prøvespørgsmål, så eleverne er bedst muligt rustet, når de skal til prøve om fire undervisningstimer.

PRE - DU E L IG H E DS E KSA M E N

The sailboats were taken out of the fjord in the autumn, and although it will probably be a few more weeks before we can get wind in our sails again, there is no doubt that the students are looking forward to getting on the water. Until then, the focus is on the theoretical part of the sailing programme, where the students are working towards the exam for the certificate of competency. This week, the teaching has included a review of typical test questions so that the students are as well prepared as possible when they take the test in four lessons.

VACCIN ATIO N S

Vi er kommet et stik tættere på kulturfagsrejserne. Danske Lægers Vaccinationsservice har været forbi skolen og vaccineret de elever og lærere, der mangler de nødvendige vaccinationer forud for rejserne. Samtidig er det en god anledning til at tale med eleverne om ansvar og forberedelse, når man rejser ud i verden.

VACCIN ATIO N E R

We’re one step closer to the cultural studies trips. The Danish Doctors’ Vaccination Service has visited the school and vaccinated the students and teachers who lack the necessary vaccinations prior to the trips. It was a good opportunity to talk to the students about responsibility and preparation when travelling the world.

Her fik eleverne mulighed for at udforske hele butikkens udvalg, fra jagtbeklædning og optik til forskelligt jagtudstyr. Højdepunktet for mange var dog besøget i våbenrummet og skydekælderen, hvor eleverne kunne se og prøve udstyr under kontrollerede rammer. Det var en lærerig og spændende dag, hvor teori og praksis blev kombineret, og eleverne fik et unikt indblik i jagtverdenen. Både for elever og lærere er det en stor fordel med et fleksibelt skoleskema på Ranum, som gør det muligt at afsætte hele dage til ekskursioner. Den slags ture skaber både gejst og engagement – og giver samtidig eleverne en anderledes og praktisk oplevelse af undervisningen.

JAG THOL DE T PÅ H E L DAGS T U R The hunting licence students took a whole day out of their schedule to visit the Brasholt hunting shop in Hjørring. Here the students had the opportunity to explore the store’s entire selection, from hunting clothing and optics to various hunting equipment. The highlight for many, however, was the visit to the armoury and shooting cellar, where students could see and try out equipment in a controlled environment. It was an educational and exciting day where theory and practice were combined and the students got a unique insight into the world of hunting. For both students and teachers, a flexible school timetable at Ranum is a great advantage, making it possible to set aside whole days for field trips. These kinds of trips create both enthusiasm and engagement - and at the same time give students a different and practical experience of teaching.

Der blev blandt andet spillet kryds og bolle i vandet, øvet hovedspring fra kanten og lavet udspring fra vipperne. Som en del af deres svømmeforløb har eleverne også prøvet kræfter med både synkronsvømning og vandpolo, som en naturlig del af undervisningen.

He also has a solid knowledge of strength training, so it made perfect sense to invite him in so the girls could benefit from his knowledge and experience.

“The more you know, the more you care” – det mærkede vores Nepal-hold på egen krop! I mandags besøgte Ronisha og Lone fra DanskNepalesisk Selskab vores Nepal-kulturfagshold og delte deres viden om Nepals kultur, uskrevne regler og hverdagsliv. Det var en særligt givende oplevelse, da Ronisha selv er fra Nepal og har boet i Danmark siden 2019. Hun kunne give eleverne et bredt perspektiv på både forskelle og ligheder mellem kulturerne – og ikke mindst forklare, hvordan eleverne bedst skal opfører sig hos de nepalesiske familier, de skal bo hos i marts. Eleverne stillede spørgsmål, deltog aktivt og fik et unikt indblik i hverdagen i Nepal. Nu tæller holdet spændt ned til deres store rejse.

“The more you know, the more you care” - Our Nepal team experienced this first-hand! On Monday, Ronisha and Lone from the DanishNepalese Society visited our Nepal Culture class and shared their knowledge about Nepal’s culture, unwritten rules and everyday life. It was a particularly rewarding experience as Ronisha is from Nepal herself and has lived in Denmark since 2019. She was able to give the students a broad perspective on both the differences and similarities between the cultures and not least explain how the students should best behave with the Nepali families they will be staying with in March. The students asked questions, actively participated and got a unique insight into everyday life in Nepal. Now the team is excitedly counting down to their big trip.

DR DA N M A RKS IN DSA M L ING Lørdag aften kunne vi se resultatet af elevernes indsats på Danmarks Indsamling på Danmarks Radio – og vi er så stolte! Før jul gik en gruppe elever sammen om at bage småkager i lange baner, som de bagefter leverede til virksomheder i lokalområdet.

On Saturday evening, we could see the results of the students’ efforts on Danmarks Indsamling on Danish Radio - and we are so proud! Before Christmas, a group of students got together to bake a large batch of cookies, which they then delivered to local businesses.

Som efterskole engagerer vi os i sociale projekter over hele verden – fra vores venskabsskoler i Nepal og en flygtningeskole i Kuala Lumpur til arbejdet med vilde dyr i Namibia. Det, der gør dette projekt særligt, er elevernes energi, initiativ og vilje til at bruge deres fritid på noget, der virkelig gør en forskel for andre.

As efterskole, we engage in social projects all over the world - from our friendship schools in Nepal and a refugee school in Kuala Lumpur to working with wild animals in Namibia. What makes this project special is the students’ energy, initiative and willingness to spend their free time doing something that really makes a difference to others.

Trods kulden blev det en god eftermiddag fyldt med energi, indsats og smil, som skabte en mindeværdig oplevelse. In freezing conditions, both football teams travelled to face Hanherred Efterskole. The girls and boys delivered strong performances, showing determination and great teamwork throughout their matches. Despite the cold, it was a great afternoon filled with energy, effort, and smiles, creating a memorable experience both on and off the pitch.

Begge Bali-hold drog i dag på træningstur til Rebild Bakker for at være bedst muligt forberedt på den kommende vulkantrekking. Humøret var højt, da bussen kørte afsted – og det steg yderligere, da eleverne fik øje på en McDonald’s i horisonten. Begejstringen fik dog et lille dyk, da vi kørte forbi uden stop.

Both Bali teams went on a training trip to Rebild Bakker today to be best prepared for the upcoming volcano trekking. Spirits were high as the bus set off - and they rose further when the students spotted a McDonald’s on the horizon. However, the excitement took a slight dip when we drove past without stopping.

Heldigvis vendte gåpåmodet hurtigt tilbage, da vi ankom til bakkerne og snørede vandrestøvlerne. Her blev der virkelig taget fat. Eleverne viste stort overskud og kæmpede sig gennem mudderglatte skråninger, hvor balancen blev testet (næsten til det yderste), samtidig med at de nød den smukke natur – også selvom vejret bød på et par dryp fra oven.

Fortunately, our spirits quickly returned when we arrived at the hills and laced up our hiking boots. This is where they really got down to business. The students showed great energy and fought their way through muddy slopes, testing their balance (almost to the limit) while enjoying the beautiful scenery even if the weather offered a few drips from above.

Efter to en halv times vandring nåede vi tilbage til udgangspunktet – fysisk trætte, men mentalt helt ovenpå efter en både hyggelig og udfordrende tur.

After two and a half hours of hiking, we arrived back at the starting point - physically tired but mentally refreshed after a pleasant and challenging trip.

På vejen hjem til Ranum var der ingen, der ærgrede sig over at passere burgerrestauranten. De fleste elever tog i stedet et velfortjent powernap efter dagens strabadser.

On the way home to Ranum, no one was annoyed to pass the burger restaurant. Instead, most students took a well-deserved power nap after the hardships of the day.

Det var lige før, man blev helt rundtosset af at se Namibia-holdet suse rundt og rundt på sportspladsen – alt sammen i den gode sags tjeneste.

Watching the Namibia team go round and round the sports ground, all in the name of a good cause, almost made you dizzy.

I torsdags samlede de nemlig ind til deres venskabsskole i Namibia, som de besøger om godt halvanden uge. Én omgang var 900 meter, og flere af eleverne kom smilende i mål efter at have løbet mellem 5 og 8 kilometer.

Last Thursday, they raised money for their friendship school in Namibia, which they will visit in just over a week and a half. One lap was 900 metres, and several of the students finished smiling after running between 5 and 8 kilometres.

Eleverne har selv skaffet sponsorer, som har doneret et beløb pr. løbet kilometer, og på den måde har de kombineret fællesskab, engagement og sved på panden med støtte til et vigtigt formål. Sejt projekt!!

The students have found their own sponsors who have donated an amount per kilometre run, combining community, commitment and sweat with support for an important cause. Cool project!!!

All the school’s creative spaces have been busy this week. In the ceramics workshop, students have been working hard to complete their projects so that they can be ready before we leave and so that they don’t dry out while we are away for the next few weeks.

T H E WORL D T U RN E D U P SIDE DOW N Situationen i Mellemøsten er mildest talt tilspidset, og det er ingen hemmelighed, at mange af vores elever efter planen skulle have rejst via store mellemøstlige lufthavne som Dubai, Doha m.fl. Derfor har vi gennem hele ugen arbejdet intenst på at finde alternative flyruter, så alle fortsat kan komme trygt og forsvarligt frem til deres destinationer. Det har krævet stor fleksibilitet og en række justeringer undervejs. En af ændringerne betyder, at holdet, der oprindeligt skulle have rejst til Maldiverne, i stedet tager to uger til Zanzibar. En stor tak skal lyde til de omstillingsparate undervisere, som på kort tid har arbejdet hårdt for at stable en ny rejse på benene, skabe nye kontakter og udvikle et spændende program for eleverne. Vi er sikre på, at det bliver en fantastisk tur.

V E RDE N V E N DT PÅ HOV E D

The situation in the Middle East is tense to say the least, and it’s no secret that many of our students were scheduled to travel via major Middle Eastern airports such as Dubai, Doha and others. Therefore, we have been working hard all week to find alternative flight routes so that everyone can continue to arrive safely and securely at their destinations. This has required great flexibility and a number of adjustments along the way. One of the changes means that the team that was originally travelling to the Maldives will instead spend two weeks in Zanzibar. A big thank you to the adaptable teachers who have worked hard in a short time to set up a new trip, make new contacts and develop an exciting programme for the students. We are sure it will be a fantastic trip.

Nogle vil måske mene, at det i en tid som denne ville være bedst at blive hjemme. Men netop som verden ser ud lige nu, oplever vi det som en vigtig opgave at fastholde udsyn, fællesskab og internationale relationer. I en tid præget af uro og splittelse er mødet mellem mennesker, kulturer og perspektiver vigtigere end nogensinde før.

Some might think that in times like these it would be best to stay at home. But the way the world is right now, we see it as an important task to maintain outlook, community and international relations. In a time of turmoil and division, the meeting of people, cultures and perspectives is more important than ever before.

Midt i det hele fik vi besøg af Danmarks Radio, som lavede et fint indslag om situationen. Indslaget satte naturligt fokus på omfanget af situationen for vores elever og de planlagte rejser, men det viste også endnu engang, hvor reflekterede vores elever er. De svarer godt for sig og giver et nuanceret billede af situationen – med en tydelig forståelse for, at det, der sker i Mellemøsten, er langt større end vores egen rejsesituation herhjemme.

In the midst of it all, we received a visit from Danmarks Radio, who did a great report on the situation. The programme naturally focused on the scale of the situation for our students and the planned trips, but it also showed once again how reflective our students are. They answer well and give a nuanced picture of the situation - with a clear understanding that what is happening in the Middle East is far greater than our own travel situation here at home.

Højdepunkterne omfattede hundeslædekørsel med en lokal hundefører og camping i −30°C, hvilket gav indsigt i både overlevelsesevner og Alaskas livsstil. Students explored Alaska’s culture and wilderness, visiting Indigenous heritage centers and local communities. They experienced extreme nature, including sledding, northern lights, and wildlife encounters. Highlights included dog sledding with a local musher and camping in −30°C conditions, offering insight into both survival skills and Alaskan lifestyles.

Alaska Alaska was an experience of a lifetime! The grand views of the mountain ranges towering into the sky, the crispy sound of the snow, combined with awesome activities such as our overnight stay with Joshua at his homestead in Willow, the dog sledding, the marine boat tour at Seward, and experiencing the Northern lights over the mountains on a clear night sky was just incredible. The stay at Joshua’s was our favourite highlight because we slept in tents, bonded with his dogs, and learned a lot of new things from him that we wouldn’t have learned if we hadn’t chosen the Alaska trip. If we had the opportunity to go again, we definitely would!

Opholdet hos Joshua var vores yndlingshøjdepunkt, fordi vi sov i telte, knyttede bånd med hans hunde og lærte mange nye ting af ham, som vi aldrig ville have lært, hvis vi ikke havde valgt Alaska-turen.

På bølgerne i Guadeloupe Guadeloupe d. 12. marts 2026 Af Mia Fuhlendorff Ottzen Latter og begejstrede stemmer blander sig med lyden af bølgerne, der slår ind mod siden af den store katamaran. På begge sider af båden ses den smukke caribiske natur, så langt øjet rækker. På den ene side kan man se frodige grønne bjerge, som rejser sig højt over kystlinjen, og små mindre øer med de kendte mangrover. På den anden side kan man se det smukke krystal blå og klare vand med små øer omgivet af helt hvidt koral sand. Små fisk svømmer omkring båden, og solens stråler genspejles i vandet som levende lys. Bådens anker bliver trukket op, og der lyder en klirrende lyd, når den lange metalkæde kommer op af det blå hav. Snart efter får båden fart på, og vinden rusker i alles hår.

Fra Bali til Caribien: Et nyt eventyr begynder

Ranum efterskole college drager hvert år ud på kulturfagsrejser for at lære forskellige steder i verdens traditioner, levevis og skik. Denne gruppe er samlet fordi eleverne valgte destinationen Bali, men grundet den forfærdelige situation i Mellemøsten blev turen ikke mulig at gennemføre. Alternativet var dog den skønne ø, Guadeloupe som ligger midt i det caribiske hav. 282

Kultur og samfund ”Jeg er så enormt taknemmelig for stadig at kunne komme afsted og komme ud at opleve verdens forskelligheder, fra hvordan det er herhjemme. Det et stort privilegie, som også bliver sat i perspektiv, når vores oprindelige destination blev ændret grundet krig. Det synes jeg også har lært os meget, samtidig med at have set en anden side af Caribien ud over den overdådige turistede forestilling” - Udtaler Liva Buchbjerg sig omkring ændringen af kulturfagsrejsens destinationen.

Solen står højt på himlen, og dens stråler genspejles i det klare vand. Eleverne bevæger sig spændte ned mod kajen, hvor der ligger en lille grå gummibåd og venter på dem. Samtidig med at duften af saltvand bliver mere intens i den varme luft. Kaptajnen smiler og for vinket dem over til den lille gummibåd. Hans hud er solbrun og vidner om mange år på havet. Han har et fast greb om armene, da han hjælper dem komme ombord. Motoren starter, og en høj brummen overdøver alt. Efter få minutter ser vi den smukke og autentiske katamaran. Den røde og hvide maling som båden er malet med, er begyndt at krakelere af de mange timers solstråler og salten fra vandet. Man kan se på bådens sider, hvordan træet er mærket efter det caribiske havs bølger, og man kan nærmest forstille sig bølgerne blive slynget op langs siderne.

”Det så rart at mærke solstrålerne på min hud samtidig med at høre lyden af bølgerne. Jeg kan ikke huske sidst jeg har følt mig så glad” - udtaler en glad Karla Juul Suneson sig på båden.

E t s t o p i d e t h v i d e s a nd Kursen er sat mod de smukke koraløer som Caribien er kendt for. Vi gør et stop ved en af dem. “Hop i! Det er tid til en dukkert” råber Olav - skolens forstander. Folk springer i fra kanten af båden, og det rolige vand der omkranser den lille hvide koral ø fyldes med vandplask. Folk svømmer det korte stykke over mod øen. Vandet er salt. Man kan smage det på tungen og mærke det på huden. Sandet er helt kridhvidt. Hvis du kigger godt efter, kan du ane, hvordan de små sandkorn engang har været smukke koraler langt under havets overflade. Nogle af pigerne lægger sig i vandkanten og lytter til havets stille skvulpen. Stilheden bliver brudt, da der bliver kaldt tilbage til båden. “Der er frokost!!” bliver der råbt fra båden. Frokosten står på friske franske baguette fra bageren med skinke og lækre grønsager.

E n gylden m ulighed Hvert år begiver Ranum efterskole sig ud i forskellige dele af verden for at øge forståelsen mellem fremmede kulturer og mennesker. Her lærer de at se verden for et helt andet perspektiv, hvilket udvider deres horisont, og giver dem en helt ny synsvinkel på livet. I år blev destinationen Brasilien, derfor opholder de sig i øjeblikket på den lokal ridefarm ”Escola Desempenho”. I løbet af de seneste dage har de arbejdet ihærdigt for at knytte et bånd til hestene, og modtaget rideundervisning fra de lokale.

Så langt øjet rækker, kan man skimte det idylliske landskab. Forud ligger en stejl skråning, som skal bestiges. En af de lokale meddeler, at de skal læne sig ind mod hesten og holde godt fast. Eleverne spærrer øjnene op, og kigger spændt på hinanden. Hestene bevæger sig hastigt op i graderne. Ind gennem træerne og ud på den grønne eng. Oppe på bakketoppen, åbner landskabet sig under dem. Herfra kan man skimte ridefarmen med de små hytter. Derefter bevæger de sig ned gennem en lille landsby, hvor farverige huse ligger tætpakket mod hinanden. En duft af eksotiske krydderier hænger i luften. Nogle børn løber, og leger, mens en brasiliansk melodi spiller i det fjerne. En familie kommer kørende på deres scooter, og vinker kærligt. De friske frugter dingler på træerne, og venter på at blive plukket. Hestene traver afsted i flok, og eleverne råber begejstret til hinanden.

”H esten b evæ ged e sig h urtigt und er m ig og jeg m æ rked e h vert skrid t h elt ind i krop p en. Vinden trak i håret og det kildede i maven. Aldrig har jeg følt mig så levende”, fortæller 16årige Sofia Schmidt ivrigt, da de er vendt tilbage til ridefarmen. E n oplevelse for livet! Forud for denne rejse ligger mange timers intensivt og lærerigt arbejde, som har styrket elevernes forståelse for udlandsk kultur. Undervejs har de kastet sig ud i livet og udforsket deres egne grænser. Derudover italesætter mange af de unge, at dette har været deres livs største oplevelse.

Marie Vrang, som er nuværende elev på Ranum efterskole, åbner op, og fortæller, at hun har fået øjnene op for en helt ny del af verden, hvilket har været enormt givende på mange punkter. Under rejsen er det gået op for hende hvor privilegerede vi er hjemme i Danmark og at vi bør være mere taknemmelige for de muligheder vi står overfor. Hun kommenterer også ”På trods af de ikke er særlig velhavende eller ressourcestærke, har brasilianerne hjertet på rette sted. De er et folkefærd fuld af livsglæde, der lever i nuet og fokusere på det positive. De udstråler en enorm kærlighed og gæstfrihed, som kan være svær at finde herhjemme”.

BR A SIL IE N / BR A ZIL De to Brasilien hold har været på en uforglemmelig tur fyldt med både regn og sol, men vigtigst af alt, fantastiske mennesker. Vi startede turen i Rio, hvor vejret ikke var det bedste, men så tog vi en tur til Disempeno, en ridegård, hvor vi havde masser af sol. Efter en 8 timers bustur ankom vi til Paraty, for en bådtur med fantastisk vejr. Selv efter lidt sygdom kom hele gruppen sammen og støttede virkelig hinanden, da det galdt. Brazil has been an unforgettable trip filled with both rain and sun but most importantly great people. We started the trip in Rio with not the best weather, but then we took a trip to Disempenho - a horse riding ranch where we had a lot of sun. After a 8 hour long bus ride we arrived at Paraty for an amazing boat trip with amazing weather. And even after some sickness the whole group came together and really supported eachother, when it really mattered.

It was a shock, a disappointment, and yet it highlighted something interesting. The culture trip you have isn’t the itinerary handed to you on a silver platter, it’s the one you make together. With all the negative things, the positive shined in such a relieving way. The loud laughs you could hear through the thick rain, the jokes made on the bus rides, it was all the more needed and all the more appreciated. It was also definitely appreciated on top of the biggest favela in the world, Rocinha. Hiking through the maze of an area that has so much immense culture. It was difficult to appreciate the culture at the time, but after returning to a clean hotel room, was a highlight for most.

Rio De Janeiro I want to tell about the unique trip to Brazil, but if it wasn’t for that it wouldn’t have been nearly as memorable. We started off in Rio De Janeiro, the party capital of the world, although this was two weeks after Carnival, and the entirety of Rio was still recovering from the biggest celebration in the Southern Hemisphere. It was quiet, and to even the locals’ surprise, the weather was hitting too close to Denmark. Sugarloaf Mountains were covered in fog, the trips to Copacabana and Ipanema beach were rainy, and lastly Christ the Redeemer was all the above.

Brazil - The uncaptured part

The days were spent indoors, while the sun was finally making its appearance. Jokes were still made, the sun was still enjoyable, but of course some people had a tougher time than others, and among the sickness people truly tried to look out for each other. This feeling of togetherness was truly a blessing, it was needed and finally reuniting with the other Brazil team again in Paraty, you could feel the others had the same.

We woke up in the morning, having yet to see any indication of blue sky. Before we knew it, we boarded a bus for a fivehour ride to the small Danish-founded riding school, Escola Desempenho de Equitação. Upon arrival, we happened to see the other Brazil team from Ranum riding past on uncontrolled horses. The panicked looks on their faces highlighted the fact that they were unable to understand the horses nor the instructors, who only had one semi-English-speaking person on staff. Before the second team left for Rio de Janeiro themselves, the whole group wanted a big group photo. The same minute the photo was taken, the first rays of sunlight appeared, and it felt like a turning point for the group. Here in Desempenho, the forest, the wildlife, and relaxation were the main objectives, and everyone on the team couldn’t wait to have a good time together with sun for the first time in a week. The very same night, several students threw up. By the end of the four days in Desempenho, only two out of thirty-four people came out without having been too heavily affected by the mysterious sickness. The entire idea of Desempenho was riding, replanting, and getting informed on the importance of nature in Brazil. It was a beautiful message, and of course the team was unlucky to experience something that takes such a strong will to persevere. It’s admirable, and it was something that reinforced the bond between everyone.

Looking back at the trip, it becomes clear that it was never about everything going perfectly. The rain in Rio, the fog covering the views, and the sickness in Desempenho could easily have ruined the experience, but instead they became the moments that brought everyone closer together. It was in those uncomfortable and unexpected situations that people showed care, patience, and understanding. Whether it was helping someone who felt sick, sharing small jokes to lighten the mood, or simply being there for each other, those moments mattered the most. The trip to Brazil was not defined by perfect weather or ideal conditions, but everyone chose to experience it together. That is what made it special, and that is what made it unforgettable. In the end, the uncaptured parts of Brazil were not the landmarks hidden in fog or the beaches seen in rain, but the shared experiences, the challenges, and the sense of togetherness that stayed long after the trip had ended.

In Paraty, the whole trip with others was amazing. Everyone was together, enjoyed themselves and could finally do what they set out to do: meet locals. It was incredible. Walking among them, talking, interviewing, of course we did the same in other places, but here it was the objective, and it gave a sense of purpose. The days in Paraty were a favorite, and for good reasons, the stories we got from locals were great, they truly wanted to protect their beautiful nature.

Visiting Suzhou China By Thomas Frederiksen and Lukas Schiffhauer.

During our visit to China, we went to Suzhou which was a fascinating city which is why we have decided to write this tourist article. Suzhou is a futuristic city with night life however there is also a deep root culture which portrays the vast history of China. While in Suzhou we visited many wonders both modern and historic such as, the old town and the Tiger hill.

Old town of Suzhou During our stay in Suzhou, we visited the old town of Suzhou. This is an ancient part of Suzhou, where the history and culture of East China is clearly visible. The old town of Suzhou is the oldest part of Suzhou is it was built in 514 BC. It is a canal like city, almost like Venice. Around the old part of Suzhou there is a big and mighty city wall with eight city gates. On the outside of the city wall there is a big moat like canal. The Ancient town is filled with small narrow and cozy streets along side canals. These streets have lanterns and small streets stalls which sells either interesting Chinese snacks, sweets or various accessories. The old town is easy to gain access to, as there is both metro and bus going there frequently, but we would recommend not using car. Overall, the old town of Suzhou is a wonderful experience, which we recommend.

Tiger Hill While our visit in Suzhou, we visited a monumental place by the name of tiger hill, tiger hill was constructed between 959 and 961 AD as a tomb for King Helü of Wu. Tiger hill got its name as by looking at it from the main entrance the Hill looks like a pouncing tiger. Tiger hill was constructed by the Kings son who hired 1000 men who he later killed to hide the burial site from the hands of the public. In the middle of tiger hill lays a 48-meter pagoda which leans 3.5 degrees to north due to subsidence. The pagoda holds a view of the modern city center. Tiger hill is easily accessible as there are metros and busses going there on a usual schedule not to mention the high amount of parking spaces surrounding the hill.

Are they really like us? A school culture trip to China turned into a lifetime experience, offering new perspectives on China, on their educational system and on growing old. By Thor Haven thorvhaven@gmail.com d. 28 marts 2026

“Ahaha, That’s a lie, Eason smokes often,” says the girl next to us. “The two girls that look like they are twelve smoke cigarettes on a daily basis too and those over there as well and we do too” she says. Me and Thomas look dumbfounded at each other, these kids are 13-15 years old, and instead of listening to the teacher the kids closest to us are telling us about how they all smoke. “No, I don’t. You’re a liar, Eason says. Then the girl reaches for his bag “it is right there in your bag,” she says reaching for it, with Eason quickly reaching for it to hide its contents, even though just yesterday he told us he doesn´t smoke and that he thinks it is stupid. I don´t know what I expected going to a Chinese school as part of my China visit with Ranum Efterskole College, but this was not it.

Shanghai future meets tradition

Before coming here we were taught that school etiquette, discipline, was strict. Long days, long hours of studying and no fun, all seriousness. With about a third of our entire trip rotating around the Chinese school system, visiting and living at a school, this was on of our big takeaways. All wise, but shy What I got with me from this visit was this: The students do have a high academic level, but it is in another way than in Denmark. The teachers do not really seem to care about what the kids do during class, but on the other hand they were extremely strict about getting the assignments done on time, thus making the students operate on an elevated level of

independent work, but in my opinion very lacking in presentation skills and teamwork. The students looked down, spoke in a low voice and seemed embarrassed by talking in front of the class. It also seemed like the teacher didn’t really want to get involved with the children and help, at least they did not reach out to the students more than they absolutely had to. After finishing the curriculum for the day they would just go on the computer, seemingly to prepare for another class. High academic level I think that they prioritize things very differently compared to Denmark and honestly there are some of the things that surprises me and other things that do not.

Personally, I am not surprised they are on a higher academic level. That’s really a thing you hear everywhere that Chinese kids are academically good and gifted especially in math, and they did excel far beyond my expectations - at least far above my own level of academic prowess. But lax discipline But on the other hand I was surprised how loose the teaching was. As mentioned, back in Denmark we had been taught in class, that everybody would be super obedient in class, and you couldn’t say a word when the teacher was talking. It wasn’t like this at all, it was quite the opposite. The kids really couldn’t care less. It almost seemed like in a Danish school, actually worse than in a Danish school. This surprised me and in fact, I was disappointed by it. I really wanted to experience the kind of school culture we had heard about back in Denmark. The reason why Chinese children are regarded as

some of the most highly educated in the world.

Tradition.

But not here. Not a trace of it. Sadly. This might have been because this was a private school and these kids were privileged - rich.

I found it very intriguing that old people here have a daily ritual, a place to go and something to do every morning. In a way it is really not all that different from Denmark. The way they meet to do something that they all love. The difference lies in that here there is no organization or government involved. It is just their tradition that has survived through centuries.

Old people - happy people the other big takeaway I got from visiting China was related to a visit in a park in Beijing. Going for a visit to the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, we entered the park early in the morning. Right inside, a lot of old people that looked like they were locals in training clothes were exercising. I thought it was just going to be a normal tourist hotspot, so I asked our teacher Ning about it.

Temple of Heaven

She was pretty short about it.

To sum up my experiences, being young in China - as far as I got to observe and take part in it - really isn’t bad, and definitely not as bad as we expected it to be from our desks in Denmark. Being a student in China does not seem to be very different from being a student in Denmark. And being old didn’t look too shabby either. Especially with a retirement age at around 50 for women and around 60 for men. yes, I know. All based on a walk in the park.

Coral Restoration The best trip that wasn’t supposed to happen. A School Trip We Will Never Forget. We travelled all the way to Zanzibar, and from the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into another world. Although we were originally meant to visit the Maldives, war and uncertainty changed our plans, and we are deeply grateful that we had the opportunity to experience Zanzibar instead.

Each day brought new and unforgettable adventures. We dived into crystal-clear waters, explored vibrant markets ﬁlled with colour and culture, and walked along white sandy beaches as the sun set over the turquoise ocean. These moments gave us a deeper appreciation for nature, new cultures, and the beauty of the world around us.

Most importantly, the journey brought us closer together. We laughed, supported one another, and created memories that will last a lifetime. This trip was not just about travelling—it was about growing, learning, and seeing the world from a new perspective. Zanzibar, thank you for an experience we will never forget.

Coral Restoration We are a group of students who travelled to zanzibar to conduct reef surveys and these are the results we found.

Authors: Mikkel, Nora and Emma

Introduction 1. Global Importance of Coral Reefs Coral reefs are among the most important ecosystems on Earth. They support a highlevel of biodiversity, protect coastlines from wave damage, and provide food andincome for millions of people worldwide. 2. Coral Reefs in Zanzibar In Zanzibar, coral reefs are especially valuable. They support local fisheries, which manycommunities rely on, and they attract tourists, contributing significantly to the economy.Reefs also act as natural barriers that reduce coastal erosion. 3. Reef Health Assessment To understand how well reefs are functioning, scientists use a method called “ReefHealth: A Combined Assessment.” This approach looks at several factors togetherinstead of focusing on just one, giving a more complete picture of reef condition. 4. Key Indicators of Reef Health A combined assessment includes important indicators such as live coral cover and fishpopulations. High live coral cover usually indicates a healthy reef. Fish diversity andabundance are also important, especially herbivorous fish that control algae and helpmaintain balance in the ecosystem.

Results

Methodology Study site Observations were conducted at Powoni south, cement and three unknown sites off the coast of Zanzibar, During 5 daytime dives. The area consisted of reefs mostly consisting of dead coral and sandy bottoms. Observation method The observations were carried out over 5 dives. The divers moved slowly with the current and observed the coral cover and fish identification. variables measured The following variables were recorded: FISH Species observed Fish abundance Number of indicator fish REEF HEALTH Coral cover (pr 1m2 in %) Coral diversity ( nr of species) pr 1m2 Algae cover (pr1m2 in %) Reef damage pr 1m2 in %)

The results showed the differences between coral reefs health and gave an opportunity to look at how the location of the reefs impact reef health. The highest combined reef score was observed at mnemba (20,4) while the lowest score was observed at Nungwi beach (8,0) (Figure (1). Cement near Paje got an overall score of 19,3, Mawana tambatu island scored 19,4, and Powoni south scored 19,9. On figure 2 we see the reef profile displaying Fish abundance, species diversity, indicator species, megafauna, coral cover pr 1m2 in %, coral types pr 1m2, algae cover pr 1m2 in %, and reef damage pr 1m2 in %. the figure shows that megafauna was lacking on all sites however indicator species were high on all sites. Figure 3 displays the combination of reef health and fish health. It shows that mnemba (13,10) scored the highest while the lowest score was observed at Nungwi beach (6,2). Cement near Paje got an overall score of 9,10 Mawana tambatu island scored 9,10 and Powoni south scored 9,11.

Discussion

5. Threats and Need for Monitoring in Zanzibar Coral reefs in Zanzibar face serious threats from climate change, including rising sea temperatures and coral bleaching. Local pressures such as overfishing, pollution, and coastal development also damage reefs. Because of these challenges, regular and combined reef health assessments are essential for protecting and managing these ecosystems.

Standerdization All observations were conducted during dives going 10-15 meters deep, all dives lasted 3040 minutes including the time of ascend and descend. The surveys lasted 20 minutes All divers conducting surveys are padi certified divers All divers are educated in surveying reefs and fish identification through schoolwork and projects in identifying specific fish

The study reveals differences in coral reef health across five sites in Zanzibar. Mnemba showed the best overall condition, likely due to its protected status, while Nungwi Beach Snorkel had the lowest scores, possibly due to tourism and human activity. Powoni South, Cement, and Mawana Tumbatu Island displayed moderate to good reef health, with Mawana Tumbatu Island standing out for its high coral cover. A strong positive correlation between fish health and reef health highlights the importance of coral reefs as essential habitats. However, the study is limited by a small sample size and a single survey period. Overall, the findings stress the need for marine conservation, sustainable tourism, and effective management to protect coral reef ecosystems.

Ankomsten i Junglen Da vores 30 minutters lift med de kano lignende både var over, trådte vi i land ved en sten strand inde i den tætte jungle. Vi var nu forladt 70 kilometer væk fra den nærmeste by, midt ude i ingenting og nu var vi Iban stammens ansvar.

Den tunge, fugtige varme ramte mig som en mur da jeg og resten af holdet bevægede os nervøst ind til deres langhus. Alle mine sanser var på overarbejde i det moment. Duften af mad overvældede mig inden længe, cikaderne og fuglene sang lidt ekstra højt og jeg var ekstrem bange for at gøre noget forkert. Det var jo trods alt en helt anden kultur vi var trådt i møde.

Kort efter vi havde sat os, blev der serveret kopper med varm green tee. Teen var varm og dampede og jeg var i tvivl om, jeg skulle drikke den med det samme eller vente på den kølede ned. Jeg kastede et hurtigt blik på de andre og gjorde som dem. Smagen var mild og lidt bitter, så jeg hældte en god teskefuld sukker i. Det gik op for mig, at selv noget så småt som en kop te var en

Mødet med Iban stammen Heldigvis havde vi vores guide Henry med. Han bad os om bare at sætte os ned og lytte til ham. Kort tid efter kom en lille spinkel skaldet mand hen og hilste på ham. Det viste sig, at være lederen af langhuset. Han gav henry hånden og kiggede nysgerrigt på os. ”I skal ikke være nervøse. I er vores gæster nu,” sagde han og nikkede anerkendende til os.

Langt fra mit eget liv På turen hjem slog det mig, hvor anderledes deres liv var fra mit eget. Her var et meget minimalt brug af telefoner og ingen støj fra biler eller omverdenen. Her var kun naturen og fællesskabet. Alligevel fik jeg ikke indtrykket af at nogle manglede noget. Tværtimod virkede de rolige og taknemmelige, på en måde jeg aldrig havde oplevet før.

Senere fik vi serveret mad. Vi satte os på gulvet, og foran os blev der lagt simple retter med ris, grøntsager og fisk. Under hele turen havde jeg været lidt usikker på, hvordan jeg skulle spise, fordi vi kun havde en ske og gaffel, men jeg kiggede på de andre og gjorde det samme som dem.

Livet i et langhus Vi blev vist rundt i langhuset, som viste sig at være et stort fælles hjem for mange familier. Langs væggene lå en masse rum, der hver og en tilhørte en familie hver. Midt i det hele var der et stort åbent fællesområde, hvor folk sad, arbejde og snakkede. Børn løb rundt omkring os og de prøvede at kommunikere med os, mens de voksende smilede til os og forsatte deres hverdag.

Jeg blev faktisk overrasket over, hvor venlig og imødekommende de alle sammen var. Den nervøsitet jeg havde følt før, var allerede forsvundet for længst.

The way the paths were designed to incorporate natural materials, like using rocks to make bridges, was remarkable. It was also impressive how they have maintained and groomed the plants to look just as they did when the emperor walked through those gardens. I was a little worried that my phone wouldn’t be able to handle the number of pictures I took that day. From what I heard from the others, they were also impressed by the gardens.

Visiting Windhoek gave us insight into Namibia’s urban life and society. We focused on learning about the country’s history, visited local markets, tried local food with traditional spices, and explored the art market. These experiences allowed us to see another side of Namibia besides the typical safari image.

“Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.” ― Desmond Tutu

Vores rejse til Namibia har virkelig ændret den måde, mange af os ser på de ting, vi oplever i vores dagligdag, ved at give os helt nye perspektiver på samfundet, naturen, uddannelse, mad og utallige andre ting. Namibia har forstørret en masse problemer og det presserende behov for forandring i vores verden. For at skabe et bedre sted for nuværende og fremtidige generationer.

Our journey to Namibia has really changed the way many of us view the things we experience in our daily life by giving us entirely new perspectives on society, nature, education, food and countless more. Namibia has magnified a lot of issues and the dire need for change in our world. In order to accomplish a better place for current and future generations.

FROM DESSERT TO HOPE LESSONS ON HUNGER AND HEALTH IN NAMIBIA

OAL 2 - ZERO HUNGER

The second Global Goal is Zero Hunger. Hunger is a serious big problem worldwide. 673 million humans are on a daily basis starving, and over 2,3 people are daily struggling to get enough food. Why is hunger such a big problem ? hunger can be caused by a lot of diffrent things. for example climate chance, war, economic instability, or poverty. war and conflicts can destroy the food source from the farmland, and also make more poverty because of the ruined workplaces.

A big impact We used the money from the charity run to buy food and other supplies for the Lifeline Clinic. We went to a very large supermarket and were given different tasks. My group had to find kilos of pasta and rice, while others looked for deodorant and beans. When we arrived at the Lifeline Clinic, some people helped prepare the food, some played with the children, and others started painting a wall. We handed out the food to the women and children in need. You could really feel the gratitude and the big impact it made

Charity run Our Namibia class did a charity run to raise money for the N/aʼan ku sê Lifeline Clinic. Family members of our Namibia team could sponsor us per kilometre. In total, we ended up raising 22092 Danish kroner

Lifeline Clinic The Naankuse Foundation is the founder of the Lifeline Clinic. The Lifeline Clinic provides free doctor visits to people in need. They also give out meals three times a week to children and women who need support. Only children and women are given this opportunity because they have experienced that some men take the food and sell it to buy alcohol We met this wholesome woman named Shirley. She told us how much the Lifeline Clinic means to her, and also how important our donations are for them. It was really inspiring to see Shirley’s passion for this work

GOAL 3 - GOOD HEALTH AND WELL BEING Goal 3

HISTORY BEHIND LIFELINE CLINC

The third global goal is good health and well being. this involve all at all defrent ages. the central goals is to reduce the number of deaths among children under 5 years old, to reduce diseases like hepatitis, and other infectious virus. Global Goal 3 Is also trying to prevent road injuries and deaths.

During our visit to Naankuse, Rudie and his son came and told us the whole story of how the foundation started. He shared a very inspiring story about how the Lifeline Clinic began. It all started when Rudie met a child who had been misdiagnosed. The child was actually starving and severely underweight. Rudie took the child to the nearest hospital, which was over 100 kilometers away, because distances are long in Namibia. Sadly, the child died due to hunger and the incorrect diagnosis.

The emergency room at the Lifeline Clinic

This experience made Rudie realize there was a serious problem. He decided to take action and started the Lifeline Clinic. His goal was to make sure that everyone have the right to see a doctor, no matter age or situation. Today, it is possible for people to receive medical care without paying any fees. thanks for Rudie.

A MEANINGFUL JOURNEY My trip to Namibia with Ranum Efterskole College has been one of the most educational and meaningful experiences I have ever had. It truly touched me and taught me lessons I will carry with me forever. I came to understand that material things, like the clothes I wear, are not what really matters. What really matters is having food on the table, having the pure life, and being surrounded by good people. This trip has truly changed me and the perspective I have on life.

_________ Our cultural trip to Nepal was a truly great and educational experience. We experienced the vibrant city life in Kathmandu, where we bargained for prices and visited amazing temples such as the Monkey Temple. At the same time, we experienced a completely different side of Nepal, as we stayed with a host family high up in the mountains and by a river at Himalika Camp. These were two very different sides of the country, and we are grateful to have had the opportunity to experience them together.

New Zealand, a trip to remember

New Zealand wasn’t just a school trip, it was non stop adventure! We got to explore not only the breathtaking wildlife but also the almost to good to be true natural wonders that New Zealand has to offer. But over the course of this trip we realized it wasn’t just the country that made it amazing. It was the team that truly made this trip unforgettable. In the beginning of this trip we were just a group of 23 kids that were all exited to embark on this new journey. But as we made new memories shared new experiences and got through hard nights away from home together we slowly stopped being just a team and became more of a family. Life on the boat brought a whole new kind of adventure that none of us will ever forget. Waking up to the gentle rocking of the waves and the sound of water all around us felt surreal, like we were living in our own little world. We learned how to work together in a completely different way, sharing tight spaces, helping with small tasks, and looking out for each other as we adjusted to life at sea. Whether it was laughing over meals, watching the sunset paint the sky in unreal colors, or staying up late talking while the boat drifted quietly, those moments brought us even closer. Being out there, surrounded by nothing but ocean, made us realize just how strong our bond had become — we weren’t just classmates on a trip anymore, we were a crew, relying on each other and making memories that will stay with us long after we’re back on land.

Now that it’s over, it feels strange being back to normal life again. Everything went by so fast, and it’s weird not being surrounded by the same people and the constant energy we had on the trip. We miss the atmosphere, the laughs, and just being out there together. It was something really special, and it’s hard to believe it’s already finished.

Surfing, bungee jumping, sejlads, riverrafting, rugby, hellige byer, uvirkelige bjerglandskaber, hvide og sorte sandstrande... Det var blot en lille håndfuld af de ting vi var heldioge at opleve på den anden side af jorden i New Zealand. Under rejsen var fokusset især på øernes to folk - De oprindelige maorier, kendt for deres gæstfrihed, krigsdanse og smukke kunstværker af naturmaterialer, og kiwierne, der har en ekstrem glæde for vandsport, natur og at nyde livet. Vi boede sammen med kiwier på den verdenskendte sejlbåd Steinlagger II og boede i en hellig marae med maorier. Udover det var der også god tid til at opleve landets smukke natur og en masse spændene (og uhyggelige) aktiviteter. Surfing, bungee jumping, sailing, river rafting, rugby, holy cities, stunning mountain landscapes, white and black sand beaches... These were just a small handful of the things we got to experience on the other side of the world in New Zealand. During the trip, the focus was especially on the islands' two peoples - the original Maori, known for their hospitality, ritualistic dances and beautiful artwork made from natural materials, and the Kiwis, who are known for their passion for water sports, nature and enjoying life. We lived with the Kiwis on the world-famous sailing boat Steinlagger II and in a sacred marae with Maori. In addition, there was also. plenty of time to. experience the country's beautiful nature and a lot of exciting (and scary) activities. Frederik Palm Munk Nielsen

En vandretur gennem junglen

Båden sejler let fremad mens vi nærmer os stranden på den lille ø Tiritiri Maitangi i New Zealand. Vejret er dejligt ikke for varmt ikke for koldt og himlen er blå. Øen ligger helt væk fra alt andet, væk fra alt helt stille i havet. Der e ringen biler, ingen bylyde kun bølgerne og fuglene der er indeni junglen. De sidste meter foregår i en gummibåd som gilder let gennem vandet. Da båden kommer til stranden, hopper vi af ind på stranden hvorefter båden sejler ud for at hente det næste hold. Vi kigger på øen fyldt med både smukke sandstrande og tung jungle. Tiritiri Matangi er kendt som et pestfrit naturreservat. Her findes ingen rotter eller andre rovdyr, som kan true de sjældne dyr, og derfor lever mange arter frit på øen.

På Tiritiri Matangi virker det, som om dyrene stadig lever i en verden, der næsten er fri for mennesker. Da vi senere går ned igen mod stranden, er lydene de samme som før: vind, fugle og hav. Men nu føles øen mindre fremmed. Mere som et sted, man kort har fået lov at besøge — uden helt at høre til.

Røde blomster og indviklede smykker Skrevet af Melissa Martinez, 16-3/26

Dybt i Panamas Darién-regnskov, en to timers sejltur fra Colombias grænse, gemmer der sig et lille, afsides stammefolk - ressourcerne er få, men gæstfriheden er overvældende

Ny kultur

I øjenhøjde Jeg har siddet med en halvfærdig ørering den sidste time og kigget længselsfuldt på børnene der løber frit omkring. Damen overfor mig har tålmodigt forsøgt at forklare mig hvilken rækkefølge perlerne skal sættes i, men hvor hun får det til at se legende let ud, får jeg det til at ligne et kluntet forsøg på en formindsket perleplade.

”Jeg forstår det ikke,” siger jeg hjælpeløst til kvinden foran mig. Hendes hud er prydet med snirklede tatoveringer lavet af jagua-planten, og da hun tipper hovedet op mod mig, bemærker jeg de livlige, røde blomster der er flettet ind i hendes mørke hår. Om hendes hofter er der bundet en prangende, mønstret nederdel - én som matcher den, jeg selv har bundet om livet. Hun sidder med en lille nål i hånden og en masse farverige perler foran sig. Jeg sidder med samme form for nål og perler, men hvor hun allerede har kreeret to par øreringe, har jeg kun formået at tabe et par perler med opgivende mine.

Masker og tallerkner flettet af Emberá-stammefolket

Vi sidder ved et faldefærdigt bord under et halvtag lavet af palmeblade. Der er en let, frisk brise der snor sig fra havet knap 300 meter væk. Omkring mig sidder andre Ranum-elever og forsøger sig ligeledes med stammefolkets kunstformer - alt fra flettede masker og tallerkner til smykker lavet af fine, små perler. Der er frodig, grøn regnskov omkring os og et par glade, højtråbende børn leger til højre for mig.

”… Jeg forstår det ikke,” gentager jeg sukkende på mit gebrokne spanske. I et desperat forsøg på at undslippe hendes milde men bestemte blik, peger jeg på perlebunken foran mig og ryster svagt på hovedet. Hun må kunne fornemme hvor opgivende jeg er, for i stedet for at rette på mit slidte håndværk, gestikulerer hun pludselig til en ung pige der står et par meter væk, som også har en mønstret nederdel om livet og en sprudlende blomsterkrans i håret. Pigen kommer hen og læner sig smilende ind over bordet. Hun har samme milde øjne som damen foran mig - det går hurtigt op for mig, at de er mor og datter. Hun overtager min klodsede ørering og sender mig et venligt smil. Jeg formår kun at sende en frustreret grimasse retur mens hun forklarer mig teknikken bag håndværket.

Andre normer Noget, jeg har lært efter bare få dage hos stammefolket er, at jeg skal forvente at blive

overrasket. Jeg skal forvente at få mine normer rusket godt og grundigt igennem. Og lige netop det formår denne unge, smilende pige at gøre. Hun tilter hovedet let til højre og nærstuderer mig i stilhed. Hendes øjne dvæler ved min lysere hud og mit anderledes hår. ”... Snakker du spansk?” Ryger det pludselig ud af hende. Jeg standser brat mine monotone bevægelser og sænker øreringen for at stirre overrasket på hende. Hun smiler ugenert til mig og er tilsyneladende ligeglad med mit halvdumme, chokerede ansigtsudtryk. Jeg nikker svagt og evner at fremtvinge et tilbageholdent ”en lille smule”, hvilket får hende til at summe af ren og skær iver. Hun skynder sig at skyde tre ihærdige spørgsmål i hovedet på mig - hvad hedder jeg, hvor gammel er jeg, og har jeg nogle søskende? Jeg formår at give hende et gebrokkent, fjumret svar og spørger retur - Jessica, som jeg finder ud af, hun hedder, fortæller mig at hun er fjorten år gammel og har fem søskende, hvor hun er den tredje ældste. Desuden ved hun ikke, hvor Danmark ligger og hun har aldrig før set så stor en gruppe turister, men hun synes det er spændende, skynder hun sig at fortælle mig.

Smykker lavet af Emberá-stammefolket

Blomstret gave Jeg finder hurtigt ud af, at hun er nysgerrig på alt hvad der hedder mig og den fremmede, fjerntliggende kultur jeg kommer fra og hun tøver ikke med at spørge begejstret ind til mig mens hun hjælper mig med at afslutte den lille, snirklede ørering. Da jeg sidder med en farverig, færdiggjort ørering i håndfladen, takker jeg hende med et høfligt smil og rejser mig langsomt fra bænken. ”Må jeg give dig denne?” Spørger hun pludselig og peger på blomsterkransen der sidder i hendes lange, mørke hår. Det er noget indviklet fletværk lavet af store blomster i alverdens røde nuancer. Jeg tøver lidt, men det gør Jessica ikke - før jeg når at svare, tager hun den af og sætter den forsigtigt i mit hår. ”Det er en gave!” Siger hun med et stolt smil.

E m b e r a - I k k e e t la n d , e t fo lk ! Panamarejsen gik til stammefolket Embera og var den største kulturoplevelse, som vil huskes for evigt -

Vi var rundt om i Panama, men intet målte sig med kulturen hos Embera

Da mine fødder rammer sandet, er det brandvarmt. Jeg kan mærke mine fødder syde under mig, og jeg hopper som en abe for at komme ind i skyggen. Da jeg endelig får kølet dem lidt af, kigger jeg rundt. De går alle sammen i bare tæer og har ikke travlt med at klage over varmen, men tværtimod hjælpe med at hive en hel båd ind. Man kunne tydeligt se at de havde gjort det før (mange gange). Da båden endelig er blevet hevet ind, er det første, vi bliver mødt af, en masse bare bryster og matchende søde damer, der omfavner os med krammere og hjælper os med at bære vores bagage til sovestedet. Ankomst Vi var endelig nået til Embera. Til stammefolket vi havde undersøgt og gået og drømt om. Og alligevel blev man mødt af noget, man aldrig kunne have forestillet sig. De venlige ansigter er, hvor end du kigger hen, og mange børn render rundt og leger. Uden helt at kunne koncentrere sig, for hvem er nu de hvide mennesker, der står blandt dem. Vi ﬁk at vide, at deres samfund bestod af ca. 160 mennesker, så da vi kom 30 unge, der så helt anderledes ud, skabte det meget nysgerrighed. Vi skulle sove i en slags åben træhytte 20 piger. Der var senge til hver af os, men ingen pude.

07.03.2026 - 22.03.2026

Overraskende nok var der lige nedenfor en lille hytte med to toiletter. Som velkomst ﬁk alle drengene et håndlavet armbånd og pigerne en traditionel nederdel. Deres lille by, eller hvad man kan kalde det, lå ca. 20 meter fra stranden. Men det sjove var, at man aldrig havde gættet, at der lå noget inde bag palmerne. Da vi sejlede rundt om ”the Darien Gap”, så hver en kyst lige danne ud, og at det var lige der, hvor vi sejlede ind, kunne ingen have gennemskuet.

har hakket noget ned. Han er 76 år, er stærkere og har nok bedre kondi end os. Når man tænker på, at vi synes, det var hårdt, forstår jeg ikke, hvordan han gør det dagligt, i en alder af 76. Ude i junglen kunne han også vise os flere forskellige planter. Junglen er nemlig deres apotek. Vi så både en plante, der kunne kurerer Gonorré og en plante, der skulle kunne kurere kræft. Fritiden hos et stammefolk Junglen som levested Med havet i forhaven, junglen i baghaven og familien i huset havde de egentlig alt, de skulle bruge. Det gjaldt ikke om hvem, der havde det største hus eller den flotteste kone. Nej det handlede om, at man var én stor familie, der hjalp hinanden. De bruger de resurser de har og bruger ikke mere end nødvendigt. Både da vi var ude og høste majs, høstede vi kun 1 per person, da det var alt, der var nødvendigt. Det samme gjaldt da vi skulle slagte kyllinger. Her fangede man de største, med mest kød, og nøjedes med, at fange en 4-5 stykker. Ude i junglen fælder de kun det nødvendige, og venter med at høste ting, der ikke er klar endnu. Modsat i Danmark, hvor alle vores bananer var grønne, da de blev plukket. Når man kiggede på, hvem det var, der gik rundt i junglen og fældede store banantræer, høstede alt fra ananas til Yuccarødder og gik mange kilometer hver dag under den brændende sol, så var det mændene. Men især de gamle mænd. Vi vandrede en tur i junglen, hvor vi selv fik lov at prøve macheten, til at hakke alverdens ting ned. Pludselig ryger en Papaya ned fra træet, og det er igen vores jungleguide, der

Duften bredte sig, da vi kom tilbage fra junglen. Kvinderne stod i køkkenet og tog sig af al madlavningen. Både slagtning, hakning, kogning og at få ris ud af skallerne. Vi fik meget ris, bønner, kylling og så friturestegte de mange af deres ting. Her brugte de kokosolie, som var det, de havde tilgængeligt. Der var nemlig kokosnødder over det hele, og ca. hver anden time blev man spurgt, om man kunne tænke sig en kokosnød. De havde fuld kontrol over macheten, når de hakkede kokosnødderne over. Udover de kvinder der stod i køkkenet, var der kvinder, der sad rundt omkring på bænke under træer. Deres fingre var i fuld gang med at lave armbånd, halskæder og øreringe, og flette tallerkner, masker og kurve. Eller lave deres traditionelle tatoveringer, som vi også alle fik lavet. Her brugte de saften fra en frugt. Når der ingen kreativitet, arbejde eller madlavning var i gang, sad man bare. Både mænd og kvinder. Der kunne gå flere timer, hvor vi sad og bare nød livet; Var i nuet. Og på en underlige måde var det ikke kedeligt, men faktisk dejligt. Det var en af de store ting, jeg bemærkede. Nemlig at de ikke har travlt. I Danmark har vi opfundet en

How did South Africa change me? When we were in South Africa we got to see both, the thriving upper class and the lower class who live in extreme poverty. It was wild to see such a difference in class, we have multimillionaires who live in gated, luxurious communities and then we have the majority of people who are jobless and living in slums where they must fight against crime or join in on crime to survive. It is truly disturbing to see, especially coming from a country like Denmark where there isn’t such a big difference between the middle and upper class. It has changed my perspective a lot, I’ve realized that I am so privileged to be living in such an awesome country as Denmark. We really have it well here, I was born in a place where I get to see the world. I can vacation anywhere I want to. Many people who live in the poor side of South Africa can’t go anywhere, they live and die in South Africa. And that makes me so grateful to be living in Denmark and kind of sad because it was people from Europe who made it such South Africa such a mess. Another way my perception has changed is that I’ve become more forgiving, The Rainbow Nation is built on forgiveness. After apartheid instead of becoming hateful against the white people they forgave them and tried to move forward. Even do it’s hard to do after so many years of segregation and equality yet, they have come so fair. There is still a lot of equality it’s mostly the whites who are upper class and its almost only blacks and colored who live in townships but putting that aside

everyone you met are so nice. The people are lovely. We were in Langa township and instead of hating us for our skin color they met us with open arms. They came to talk with us and they were curious about how we live, and what

358

07.03.2026 - 22.03.2026

Denmark is like and we were also curious about them of course. Then we played football against them and they where crazy good, even though the field we played at was in the middle of a highway and there were trash and holes everywhere. They still practice almost every day. That made me very inspired. They keep fighting even though it’s nearly impossible to succeed in such a society. They also have so much pride too. Our guide in Langa told us that if the people who live in the township get big in, for example sports like football or rugby, they don’t move out of the township they stay and help the community with all the money they earn. So, I’ve truly learnt a lot from my trip, and I am very grateful for this experience. I’ve become less of a spoiled brat and more grateful for what I have and all the opportunities I have.

En pistol i buksen, og et opgør med danske fordomme En Glock i bildøren, tyggetobak i underlæben. Han kører rundt i Texas på de seksbanede veje, mens han spytter sit tyggetobakssavl i en lille, tom æblejuiceflaske, som i øvrigt nærmest indeholdt mere sukker end juice. I EU må vi derimod ikke kalde noget juice, medmindre det er 100 % frugtjuice. Da vi træder ud af den store Ford GMC, tager han sin Glock i buksen, og vi går ind mod Target. Faktisk en Super Target. En kæmpe indkøbsbutik. Til et nødstilfælde havde han pistolen på sig, fortalte han. Ligesom da vi på dag tre var på restaurant, hvor vi havde en pistol ved hver ende af bordet. Da han så, at mit glas var tomt, sagde han, at jeg bare skulle drikke så meget, jeg kunne, for der er nemlig altid gratis refill. Det mente han også, der burde være på øl. I hvert fald på Corona. Dem drak han mange af, og der måtte ikke være lime i. Så trækker han pistolen. Eller… nok ikke.

Manden, jeg snakker om, hedder Ronnie. Ronnie stemmer på Trump. Ikke fordi han savler efter at eje Grønland, eller fordi det vil være en supergod idé at føre toldkrig mod resten af verden, og heller ikke fordi han ønsker at bombe Venezuela og andre lande. Men fordi han mener, at det giver bedst mening for ham og hans nærmeste. Han er ikke enig i alt, hvad Trump siger; snarere er han mere republikansk, end han er Trump-fan. Desværre er Trump Republikanernes spidskandidat.

I løbet af de to uger, vi var dernede, mødte vi mange amerikanere, Hjemme hos Ronnie som undskyldte for USA’s image. De fortalte, hvor pinligt det er for deres land, at Trump sidder med magten. Da vi var i George Bush Library, var Dannebrog overalt. I lommerne på de ansatte og rundt omkring på museet. Det var lidt mærkeligt, når de samtidig prøver at snuppe Grønland. Eller er jeg forkert på den.

Ronnie bor ude på en ranch, to timer væk fra alting. Han har købt en kæmpe grund og givet halvdelen til sin datter. Han har tre store boxerhunde rendende derhjemme samt høns ude i haven. En dag, hvor vi glemte at lukke lågen, dræbte hundene otte af hans høns. Én af dem havde vi fundet, da vi var ude at se en af svigerdøtrenes high schoolhold spille en fodboldkamp. De er egentlig helt almindelige mennesker. Det kan godt være, at de har nogle regler, love og holdninger, der er anderledes end i Danmark, og at deres kultur kan virke voldsom, anderledes eller direkte mærkelig set med danske briller. Men måske er det netop pointen: at verden ikke er ens, og at der findes andre måder at leve på, tænke på og indrette et samfund på.

368

07.03.2026 - 22.03.2026

Bare fordi de lever på deres måde, betyder det ikke, at det er skørt, bare fordi vi i Danmark lever på vores “fine” måde. Det gør det ikke forkert, bare anderledes. Det ville da også være kedeligt, hvis alle lande levede som Danmark. Når vi samtidig tænker på, at vi i Danmark begynder at drikke som 13-årige og har en statsminister, der også har lavet nogle halvkriminelle ting, synes jeg ikke, det er fair at opstille det så firkantet, som vi gør. Måske burde vi i stedet være lidt mere nysgerrige. Tage derover. Opleve det selv. Snakke med folk, som Ronnie. For når man først gør det, falder mange af de forestillinger, vi går rundt med, hurtigt fra hinanden. Og måske er det netop her, fællesskabet opstår. Ikke fordi vi er ens, men fordi vi, når vi faktisk møder hinanden, opdager, at vi heller ikke er så forskellige, som vi troede.

Træhus i Oklahoma for alle elever

Så inden man fyrer løs om, hvor langt væk folk er i USA, burde man måske slappe lidt af, se det fra deres vinkel og tage en kold Corona uden lime.

The first thing we noticed when we arrived in Bangkok was the overwhelming sense of stepping into a completely new culture. The streets pulsed with vibrant, chaotic energy far more alive than anything we had experienced in Danish cities. Everywhere, food stalls buzzed with activity, selling fresh fruit juice, lottery tickets, and steaming plates of pad thai right on the sidewalk. Rats darted freely between people’s legs, yet the locals remained completely unfazed a huge contrast to Denmark, where such a sight would empty any food area instantly.

Fredag blev en både tankevækkende og stærk dag, da Ronni Mogensen gæstede festsalen med sit personlige foredrag om et liv i overhalingsbanen præget af vold, stoffer og alkoholmisbrug.

Friday was a thought-provoking and powerful day when Ronni Mogensen visited the banqueting hall with his personal talk about a life in the fast lane characterised by violence, drugs and alcohol abuse.

Ronni voksede op med en voldelig far, hvilket tidligt fik ham til at søge væk hjemmefra og ind i andre fællesskaber. Skolen blev et frirum fra hverdagen derhjemme, men skolelivet var heller ikke dér, hvor Ronni fandt sig selv bedst til rette. Han ville hellere arbejde hårdt fysisk og dyrke sport.

Ronni grew up with an abusive father, which led him to leave home early on and seek out other communities. School was an escape from everyday life at home, but school was not where Ronni found himself most comfortable. He preferred hard physical labour and sports.

På en studietur til Amsterdam købte han sammen med nogle venner stoffer med hjem, og det blev starten på mange år med hårde stoffer, vilde fester og vold i nattelivet. En nat gik det helt galt. Ronni og en kammerat kørte galt i en bilulykke, hvor de mistede kontrollen under påvirkning af stoffer. Ulykken efterlod Ronni lam fra maven og ned, og han må i dag leve med konsekvenserne resten af livet.

On a study trip to Amsterdam, he and some friends bought drugs to take home, and that was the start of many years of hard drugs, wild parties and violence in the nightlife. One night it all went wrong. Ronni and a friend crashed their car and lost control under the influence of drugs. The accident left Ronni paralysed from the waist down and he has to live with the consequences for the rest of his life.

Nogle år senere ændrede livet retning, da hans niece blev født. Mødet med det lille uskyldige barn blev et vendepunkt, som fik ham til at se livet på en ny måde. I dag arbejder Ronni med unge mennesker i fritidsklubber og rejser rundt i landet med sit foredrag for at dele sin historie og skabe refleksion hos andre unge.

A few years later, life changed direction when his niece was born. Meeting that little innocent child was a turning point that made him see life in a new way. Today, Ronni works with young people in after-school clubs and travels around the country with his talk to share his story and create reflection in other young people.

Det var fantastisk at mærke elevernes engagement omkring hans fortælling. Sjældent har der været så stille i festsalen under et oplæg, og spørgsmålene var mange længe efter foredraget var slut.

It was amazing to feel the students’ engagement around his story. Rarely has the auditorium been so quiet during a presentation, and there were many questions long after the lecture was over.

Den mundtlige eksamensperiode er en helt særlig tid på Ranum. Dagene er præget af både spænding, forventning og lidt ekstra sommerfugle i maven, da de mundtlige eksamener for mange føles mere udfordrende end de skriftlige prøver, som allerede er vel overstået.

The oral exam period is a very special time at Ranum. The days are characterised by excitement, anticipation and a few extra butterflies in the stomach, as the oral exams for many feel more challenging than the written exams, which are already well over.

I denne uge har eleverne været til mundtlig matematik. Mellem eksamenerne er der god tid til forberedelse, sparring og faglige snakke med både lærere og kammerater.

This week the students have been taking oral maths exams. Between exams, there’s plenty of time for preparation, sparring and professional discussions with both teachers and peers.

Samtidig fortsætter efterskolelivet med dagsture, aktiviteter og fællesskab, som giver et velfortjent pusterum mellem eksamenerne.

Meanwhile, efterskolelife continues with day trips, activities and community that provide a welldeserved break between exams.

Derefter deltog eleverne i en orienteringsløb med opgaver om dansk kultur og identitet – en aktivitet, der skabte gode refleksioner blandt både internationale og danske elever.

This Friday is both Father’s Day and Denmark’s Constitution Day! We celebrated with a speech by MP Theresa Berg Andersen (SF), who spoke about democracy and community at Ranum. Later, students joined an orienteering race with tasks on Danish culture and identity, sparking reflections among both international and Danish students.

Årets store gallafest blev afholdt med fantastiske taler, musik, smukke kjoler, flotte jakkesæt og ikke mindst rigtig dejlig mad. Emma holdt årets elevtale, hvor hun med stor taknemmelighed fortalte om de venskaber, hun har fået på efterskolen. Hun mindede også alle om, hvor vigtigt det er at være til stede i de sidste uger af efterskoleåret og suge så meget til sig af efterskolelivet som muligt, mens det varer. Menuen bestod af tre lækre retter. Først blev der serveret tunmousse med rejer, efterfulgt af to forskellige slags kød med et stort udvalg af salater med blandt andet jordbær og vandmelon samt kartofler. Til dessert ventede et stort kagebord med frisk frugt. Hele aftenen blev eleverne serviceret af skolens medarbejdere, som havde skiftet hverdagstøjet ud med sort og hvidt tjeneroutfit for at gøre aftenen ekstra festlig.

This year’s grand gala was a resounding success, featuring fantastic speeches, music, beautiful dresses, smart suits and, last but not least, absolutely delicious food. Emma gave this year’s student speech, in which she spoke with great gratitude about the friendships she has made at efterskolen. She also reminded everyone how important it is to be present during the final weeks of the efterskole year and to soak up as much of efterskole life as possible while it lasts. The menu consisted of three delicious courses. First, tuna mousse with prawns was served, followed by two different types of meat accompanied by a wide selection of salads, including strawberry and watermelon, as well as potatoes. For dessert, there was a large cake table with fresh fruit. Throughout the evening, the students were looked after by the school staff, who had swapped their everyday clothes for black and white waiters’ and waitresses’ uniforms to make the evening extra festive.

As well as the fantastic musical performances by the students, a surprise guest had also been announced, who was due to play when the dance floor opened later in the evening. The students had no idea who it might be, even though the hosts had slipped in a couple of Wafande tracks during the evening. When the secret was finally revealed, it was met

with great excitement. Wafande took to the stage, and it quickly turned into a huge party that most people are unlikely to forget. For those who aren’t familiar with Wafande, he is a Danish reggae-pop artist known for his uplifting songs and his ability to spread smiles and positive energy.

Efter en god brunch tog eleverne våddragterne på og kastede sig ud i en ambitiøs udfordring: en svømmetur fra Rønbjerg Havn tværs over Limfjorden til Livø.

After a lovely brunch, the pupils put on their wetsuits and set out on an ambitious challenge: a swim from Rønbjerg Harbour across the Limfjord to Livø.

Distancen er omkring 4 km, hvilket for erfarne svømmere typisk tager 2–2,5 timer. På dagen var der dog høj søgang og ustadigt vejr, og af hensyn til sikkerheden blev ruten derfor desværre ændret. Svømmeturen blev i stedet gennemført i Frederik VII’s Kanal, hvor vandet er mere roligt og egnede sig bedre til aktiviteten.

The distance is around 4 km, which typically takes experienced swimmers 2–2.5 hours. On the day, however, there were high waves and unsettled weather, and for safety reasons the route was therefore unfortunately changed. The swim was instead carried out in the Frederik VII Canal, where the water is calmer and better suited to the activity.

Bare rolig – der er ingen, der har lavet unoder på efterskolen.

Don’t worry – nobody’s been up to any mischief on efterskolen.

Politiet lagde nemlig vejen forbi for at give eleverne et indblik i optagelsesprøven til Politiskolen. En del af optagelsesforløbet består af en fysisk test, som eleverne fik mulighed for at prøve på egen krop. De skulle blandt andet teste deres kondition, styrke og udholdenhed gennem en række af de øvelser, som kommende politibetjente møder ved optagelsesprøven.

The police actually dropped by to give the pupils an insight into the entrance exam for the Police Academy. Part of the admissions process consists of a physical test, which the pupils had the opportunity to try out for themselves. Among other things, they had to test their fitness, strength and stamina through a series of exercises that prospective police officers face during the entrance exam.

The week has featured a wide range of activity days. Among other things, the pupils have had the chance to visit a water park, decorate their memory books, try their hand at windsurfing or – as shown in the photos below – visit the local strawberry field to pick berries for all the pupils and teachers, bake bread on a stick and pancakes over a campfire, and complete the honey-making process so they could take a jar of honey home with them.

Det er blevet sommer, og bierne summer flittigt rundt mellem blomsterne på skolen. Bor man i Ranum, er der faktisk en god chance for, at de kommer fra elevernes egne bistader.

Summer is here, and the bees are buzzing busily amongst the flowers at the school. If you live in Ranum, there’s actually a good chance they come from the pupils’ own beehives.

Som noget nyt har vi nemlig startet faget Beekeeping, hvor eleverne kan prøve kræfter med at passe bier og producere honning helt fra bunden. Det er en spændende proces, som kun bliver endnu bedre af, at man kan smage på resultatet undervejs.

We’ve recently launched a new course called Beekeeping, where students can try their hand at looking after bees and producing honey from scratch. It’s an exciting process, made all the better by the fact that you can taste the results as you go along.

On June 23, we spent the afternoon exploring street art together with the Ranum Asylum Center. After watching a short film about the artists’ work there, we viewed the street art at the asylum center and walked over to the school.

Derfor gik turen for sidste gang i dette skoleår på hjemmebesøg hos kontaktlærerne.

At the contact teacher’s home for the last time A big part of life in efterskole is the sense of community within the contact group and the relationship with the contact teacher. That’s why, for the last time this school year, we went on home visits to the form tutors. We spent the day enjoying good food, playing garden games and, for some, taking a refreshing dip in the lovely summer heat that has swept over us.

Thank you!

I har virkelig gjort det her år fedt med jeres sammenhold. Det har været superhyggeligt at se, hvordan I er sammen – med masser af grin, respekt og omsorg for både hinanden og os forældre. Det har vi sat pris på.

You’ve really made this year great with your togetherness. It’s been amazing to see how you are together – full of laughs, respect, and care for each other and us parents. We’ve loved it.

Tak for et år fuld af gode minder til både jer og os. Elevfesterne er altid højdepunktet – masser af latter, god stemning og fest. Og det bedste er, at I selv tager ansvar og får det hele til at fungere. Sammen har vi skabt en masse dejlige minder i et vigtigt år for jer – og det klarede I rigtig godt! Til alle elever, forældre, medarbejdere og venner – kæmpe tak! Bliv ved med at være jer selv, og vi glæder os til at se jer til genforeningen i 2027.

Thank you for a year full of good memories for all of us. The student parties are always the highlight – lots of laughter, great vibes, and celebration. And the best part is that you take responsibility and make it all happen. Together we’ve created so many wonderful memories in an important year for you – and you did it really well! To all students, parents, staff, and friends – huge thanks! Keep being yourselves, and we look forward to seeing you all at the reunion 2027.

Hi, I’m Anna and I’m from Italy. I took part in a one-year European Solidarity Corps programme at Ranum Efterskole College. This year was a great learning experience. I developed my teaching skills in maths classes, and I was able to express my artistic side by participating in design and ceramics classes. I also learned about Danish culture, as well as many others, and had the chance to travel and meet students from all over the world.

A N N A’S TIM E A S A VO L U N T E E R

I met groups of AFS students from India, Argentina, Indonesia and Thailand, and took part in intercultural evenings with them. I also travelled to Copenhagen with some of them – it was a wonderful trip! I travelled with the full host students, spending a Danish-style Christmas, New Year’s in Hamburg and Easter in Gothenburg with them. Living in such a small town as Ranum was sometimes challenging, but when I started my programme here, I couldn’t have imagined that I would visit so many places or spend my birthday in Nepal! During my stay, I developed a street art project with the support of the school. We discussed with a group of students what community means and how we can build a better one. The artwork “My cup of tea” emerged from this discussion: it is about shared responsibility (everyone’s cup of tea) to imagine a better society where we all learn to swim in the same direction instead of taking advantage of our privileges We presented the street art piece, which was created on a container, to the Ranum community at an event that also involved the Ranum Asylum Centre. I’m grateful for all the travel opportunities I had this year, but I also think it’s important to take care of our local surroundings. I’m happy to have experienced true community spirit in Ranum.

I have had the opportunity last year to start my education as a graphic designer, and that’s why I started here, to work on the yearbook that you are reading, and so many other incredibly fun projects thank you to Nigel and Mie for teaching me everything I know about graphic design!

I would also like to say thank you so much to the students for making my first 6 months working at this school so fun! I enjoyed every moment, I will never forget the trip to Brazil with an amazing group of students, And my very talented skate class and media class. So thank you all so much for this amazing experience. I will miss you all :D
