hello from the travel writer

Having been in touch with Tommy Skov over the past 8-9 months or so I have been following the progress of the Fredericia-Mostar students exchange. I find the project very interesting and I’m very excited on behalf of all of you who are going to explore Bosnia and Herzegovina for the very first time. I have been travelling a lot down there since the end of the 1990s and besides having a bunch of great experiences, getting good friends etc. the outcome includes the guidebook that some of you might already be reading – Turen går til …. - the first of its kind to BiH.
Tourism is still not a big industry in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the access to necessary information hasn’t been all that easy to get along the way – I personally think the book can get better or be refined, so please let me know if or when you stumble over something you miss or think is worth of mentioning.
I think it’s a great idea that you get to know your friends from Mostar via msn – it’s a nice and icebreaking way to develop a long distance relationship on. And I think the destinations you picked are all very interesting. I’m sure you’ll be in good hands with Green Visions in the Sutjeska national park and Sarajevo and Mostar are both highly interesting cities –

Looking forward to hear what you think about it all and feel free to ask if you think there’s something I can help you with.

Exhibition at Fredericia Gymnasium

Two kaospilots: Søren and Nanna told the last-year students about their education in Aarhus and their project in Mostar. Here, together with students from Mostar Gimnazija, they envisaged their future wishes for education and employment.
