Aquesta setmana han marxat a Dinamarca els primers estudiants de 1r de Batxillerat que participen al programa Erasmus. Podran conèixer el funcionament d’un institut danès durant un mes. 

Quan tornin, els preguntarem com els ha anat. Mentrestant, us deixem amb algunes impressions dels estudiants d’intercanvi danesos que el Benaprès va rebre durant el primer trimestre del curs.

Els alumnes de periodisme vam poder fer-los una petita entrevista per saber què opinaven sobre com és la vida aquí, la diferència en els estudis, etc.

• Why did you decide to come to Spain?

Last year our school welcomed an exchange student so I decided to go to Spain because I like to travel and the culture.

 

• Are you enjoying your time here?

Yes, I’m enjoying it so much. I’ve been here for 1 week and I am feeling extremely warmed-welcomed. 

 

• Which modality are you studying here? Why? 

I’m studying physics here but it’s different than in Denmark because there we don’t have a specific modality, we study the normal subjects and don’t get any special courses or grades.

 

• Did you study the same in Denmark?

I have studied so many subjects while being here. 

 

• Have you experienced a culture shock?

Yes, the educational system here is so difficult. As an example, the timetables: they change a lot more in Denmark.

 

• How do you feel about your host family? Is it a new experience?

We don’t live with host families, us, the ones who are older, we are living on independent flats.

 

• Is it difficult to adapt?

It’s quite difficult, the students are shy, they feel we are scared to talk to them but they seem nice.

 

• Which places did you visit by being here in Spain?

I’ve visited Sitges and Barcelona twice. I liked it. We haven’t visited any monuments and non museums yet. I had also plans for visiting more things about Barcelona but with the study it’s quite difficult.  

 

La visita dels estudiants danesos a l’Institut Joan Ramon Benaprès va ser una experiència enriquidora que va posar de relleu diferències culturals i educatives significatives. Tot i sentir-se ben acollits i gaudir de l’entorn de Sitges i Barcelona, van trobar un sistema educatiu més complex i organitzat de manera diferent al de Dinamarca. Aquesta estada els va aportar una nova visió sobre l’educació i la cultura a Espanya.
