WELCOME
May Team 2012
Today, 1st of May we've said Welcome to a new team, enrolled for the 18 months program, Single B-Certificate in Fighting with the Poor. Following the tradition, August Team 2011 organized the welcome party - snacks, decorations, program and, of course, a very delicious Italian dinner.
The Headmaster and their teacher, well prepared and ready for a new beginning, opened the door to a renewed cozy classroom. May team 2012 have started their introduction week.
In the evening, all the school gathered to introduce ourselves to the May team, to wish them all the best, to listen to the headmaster's first guidance for the new DIs, and, of course, to enjoy this time together, having a nice dinner.
All Lindersvold wishes to Dariana, Joaquim, Isabel, Miho, Nayu - May Team 2012, and to Alexandra - their teacher, the best luck !!!

ARTIVISM
lecture about
Arts, Cultures and Activism
by
Specifically for this audience we focused on examples of how different communities in the muslim countries we have visited are using art or their culture to fight for their cause: we talked about self-sustainable communities of Indonesia and the lessons we can learn from them in the fight with the effects of global warming, we talked about a community of artists, Taring Padi, that used visual art, songs and theater to mobilize local communities, we gave example how traditional Palestinian embroidery is used to empower women and resist the occupation in Palestine.
In the end of the day, we presented the idea behind theater of the oppressed and how its methods were used in Gaza with the children who experienced traumatic effect of Gaza bombing of 2008-2009.
With this lecture, we tried to convene the message, that different communities in the World, whether they are Muslims, Christian or non-faith based, are concerned about the same problems: climate change, human rights violations, quest for freedom and dignity.

"Don't spend your New Year's Eve alone!"
Making the invitation was only the first step...
What was after ??? Well, we went on the streets with cookies & hot coffee, we introduced ourselves, told our stories, what are we doing here, and which is our purpose, and, in the end, we invited as many as we could to our school for the New Year's Eve Party.
When the Big Day came, we started to prepare everything, we cooked delicious food and we decorated our dining hall. When the guests came, we all started the party, which lasted till after midnight, in the light of the fireworks !!!

TCE collection
1st of December is International AIDS Day.
It's a tradition in our school, that at that special day we go out on the streets and help collect donations for project Total Control of Epidemics (TCE) that Humana People to People is leading in countries, where AIDS is still a major problem.
This year two big groups departed from our school on the streets - youngsters from the small school with their teachers and DIs from August Team 2011.
We started our action at the very early morning. Just after breakfast we grabbed magazines with information about our action, cans for donations, we prepared some food for lunch and coated ourselves in jackets, gloves and hats. We journeyed to two big cities in our area - Vordingborg and Naestved. Streets were full of people, so we quickly spread ourselves around the center of the city.
Except high spirit and determination, we were equipped with red balloons in shape of hearts - little something to make ourselves more visible and gain sympathy of citizens. For that day we set ourselves quite high goals and we were eager to reach them.
 
We had only one enemy - weather.
It was quite cold and windy that day and afternoon we have also experienced a bit of rain. But people were very friendly and warm - as usual in Denmark. Most of them were aware of our action and they knew what 1st of December is all about. Those people were sometimes even by themselves looking for us and our donation cans, so they could contribute their kronas.
With others we had brief, but educating conversation, during which we were explaining what the whole idea of our action is about and how their donation can help people in Africa. Though at the end of the day we didn't reached our goal, it was a great time that we had on the streets - people were friendly and open, donations generous and all around us there were pedestrians (mainly children) and their red balloons jumping on the wind.
It was very heartwarming view to see how many people supported our projects and sent help to those in biggest need.
We strongly believe that our action will help at least a little bit in fight against AIDS and HIV.
We are proud that we are part of this fight, that we can do something against this problem. And even with this smallest steps, we can make a big difference.
