unforgettable. We also visited Trekroneskolen, the
school with which we had had our first exchange
in Denmark. It was pleasure meeting Ms. Kirstine
Jordan, the International Coordinator of the school,
who took us around the school. Here at this school,
our students delivered a lesson on different Indian
foods. The class was lively and the students were
eager to know more about the food habits of each
others’ countries.
May 10th was all together a different experience.
We revelled in the cycling session at the school.
After enjoying cycling, we went by bus to Kronborg
Castle. On our way to the castle, we stopped by a
lake side for lunch. The site was very scenic and we
all were very close to nature with birds chirping and
vibrant flowers growing alongside the wide grass
on the bank of the lake. The captivating scene glued
us and we were reluctant to move from there as we
felt that the Kronborg Castle would be boring but
our assumption of the Castle proved to be wrong
when our guide for the castle tour impressed us as
she dramatized the history of the castle.
On our last day at Roskilde Gymnasium, the students
enjoyed a group poster making activity ’United in
Diversity’ followed by a dinner in the evening, with
the host students and the host teachers. After a
full day at school, the students and teachers of
Roskilde Gymnasium extended themselves to
prepare a sumptuous meal for us, that tingles our
taste buds even now, when we think about it.
After dinner, the lovely memories were revived
through a movie presented by the Danish students.
The movie stimulated the feelings that flowed
through words in the form of short and heart
rendering speeches by the Indian students.
Time seemed to have flown. We did not realise that
fifteen days had already passed and the time to
bid goodbye had come. With mixed emotions and
retentive memories we took a flight back to India
from Copenhagen.

We, the team of 14 students learnt the power
of unity. Before visiting Denmark, we were just
a group but there we became a team!

In Denmark, living without an urge to look
into our mobiles and play interesting board

and gave us moments to cherish.

I was freezing as the temperature at the time
of our arrival at Copenhagen was too low but
the warmth spread by my host family soon
