The rebuilding of Fredericia Gymnasium is moving ahead.
For more than a year ago a rebuilding-proces started in Fredericia Gymnasium.
The whole central meeting area was tored down because we wanted an open space with 3 levels.
A first floor has been established and increases the number of square-meters dramatically.
The plan is to finsih the rebuilding in April.
Everyone is looking forward to use the new facilities - for sure it will be inspiring.
Please visit our homepage with pictures from our school:

Lancier at Fredericia Gymnasium
Fredericia Gymnasium is a place with strong traditions. One of them is an evening where all the final year students dance lancier.
Every student puts on fine clothes and celebrate .
1700 people were watching their dance and the atmosphere is very special just after the dance is finished - the students are now relieved after weeks of tension.
If you are interested in seeing how the evening went please link to:

This year the lancier was in a nearby sportshal because of our rebuilding.
Everybody had a nice evening.

The exchange was a good experience
We send greetings to our bosnian hosts.
The revisit in Denmark is essential to the project.
We are looking for fincial support in public and private funds so the transport will be possible in April 2008.

Biology class at Mostar Gimnazija, October 8th
As a part of the exchange, bosnian and danish students did biology-excercises together.
The excercise was instructed by Mirsada - supported by Uffe who made drawings on the whiteboard.
Host and visitor in pairs, was equipped with a microscope, lent from the IB-school. The main purpose was to discover the differences between human cells and plant cells.
Biology sometimes brings you closer to your own body which caused a lot of laughs.

Sunday 14th October - Sightseeing in Sarajevo
The students gathered in the hall 10.30 am and Tommy, our History teacher, distributed an excercise. The 4 groups, which were made before the journey begann, were going to visit 10 spots around the bascarsija area. On each spot we had to take a fotograph and answer 1 or 2 questions. We visited among others "Latinska cuprija" the bridge where the Austro-Hungarian heir to the throne, Prinz Ferdinan, was killed in 1914 and "Vjecna vatra," the internal flame, which is a memerory of all the Bosnian who died in the fight against Fascism during the second world war. After we had hand-over our answers we were free to enjoy our last day in Sarajevo.

Sunday 7th of October - trip around in Herzegovina
We started the trip in the mountains and the weather was cold and it was raining. The first stop was at the second most holy place, Medugorje, where we joined the mass in the church of St. Jacobs. The sculpture of Virgin Mary is very impotant for the roman catholic church.
Then we went to the Kravica-waterfall. It falls 25 metres down and it stretch about 100 metres.
We stopped to eat at the Hutovo Blato bird sanctuary and because of the bad weather we couldn't get a tour at the sanctuary. The nature guide held a speech about the global changes in the world which also has an influence at the sanctuary.
It was still raining a lot but we kept on drivining and stopped at the roman village and military camp of Mogorjelo.
The last stop was at Radmilja were there is a necropolis (burial place for the dead). Here we saw some of stecci-tombstones showing the graves from around 13-15 century A.D.
On the way home we had a lot of fun in the bus where we tried to teach the students some rimes in english and some in danish

From Mostar to Sarajevo 13'th October
We had to wake up early in the morning - 6 o'clock AM. The Tanovic drove us to the train station (one of the only railway connection in BH). Everything was alright but people where a bit sleepy. The trip along the river Neretva was very beautiful and relaxing. We drove sooooooo slowly.
When we arrived in Sarajevo it was raining, but the Hotel was alright. It has a swimmingpool :O! (but it cost money to use)
Tommy took us to the old town and we went on a shopping spree. This evening we will all eat at a local restaurant. And we will probably go to a disko later.

Tuesday 9th October - Trip to Sarajevo
Tuesday 9th October
Mohammed, Lotte and Camilla went to Sarajevo with two Classes from Mostar Gymnasium. One was Bosniac the other was Croatian. Both classes were third years.
We drove from Mostar Gymnasium 9.30 am and arrived at Sarajevo 12 o'clock.
No one knew what was going to happend only that we were invited to the studios of Channel Pink.
We were picked up of a lady who told us that we were going to participate in a tv-show called "The perfect couple." We found it a bit tragi-comic that we had driven 3 hours to watch a tv-show in 4 hours in a language we didn't understand. Our hostes were very nice to explain us what was happening though. The tv-show had more then one time technical problems and therefor we had many long long breaks. When the shouting finally was done we got half an hour to walk around before we took the bus back to Mostar. We were in Mostar around 11 pm.
Then Mohammeds host, Harris, father drove us to Hotel Ada in Blagaj which we were very grateful for as no taxies or buses were able to bring us.

Tour in Perucica
Today we got up extremely early to go to Perucica which is an old-forrest in Sutjesca National Park. A rented bus was ment to pick us up at 6 am, but was unfortunately a bit late late which ment that we was an hour later than scedualed. On the road to the forrest we pulled in to look on a war monument to memorise the partisan war of Tito in Second World War.
When we finally got to the old-forrest four hours later it was covered in clouds and fog. Actually we were supposed to see a beautiful waterfall, but the only sign of the water was the sound of it. We startet in a hight of 1200 metres above sea level, so it was very chilly. Our hiking gear didn't meet the challenge but we decided to take off anyway. Only Lotte was exellent equipped! - five hours of hiking lied ahead of us and we started going down the mountain. With us we had three guides which were really great and professional. They careed all kinds of stuff in their big bagpacks; chocolate, toffees, coffee, water, books about the forrest (mainly read by Uffe) etc.
On our road we saw, among other things, claw markings on trees from bears, interesting kinds of plants (Uffe again) and so on. Three times we crossed streams in different sizes, which caused Sandra a lot of trouble. She got her feet wet :-)
We walked in a little narrow path all the way which was very slippery and muddy. This resulted in numerous strange landings on the ground. Among others Zeynep fell down five times ;-)
All in all we got to the goal full numbered with good spirits, sore legs and wet clothes.
Now we are tired and wants to sleep - Goodnight Denmark and Bosnia i Herzegovina!
.. especially our hosts in Mostar.
Love to all of you!

Biology-project at Buna
Because of Uffe's birtdayparty yesterday, we had a lay-in and had our brakefast at nine thirthy..
After our breakfast Uffe introduced the biologi-exercises in the conference room of Hotel Ada.
The first stop today was at a fishfarming restuarant where we took notes and examinated the water. Especially the visibility of the water and the makro-organisems were exsaminated to estimate the level of pollution. The conclusion of our tests was that the water in the river Buna is very clear and non-polluted. We will all like to say thank you to Tommy for the drinks.
After this we went for a long walk up a huge mountain to visit a historical fortress on a nearby mountain. The view up there was absolutly fantastic!
While we were eating our lunches, Uffe showed us different plants from the area. They were all with unique charaters and diffrences. On our way down from the fortress Uffe showed us some moss, fern and lichen on the northen side rocks. The southen side of the mouintan stood as a contrast to the northen side vegetation. Here the landscape was very dry due to the strong sun.

Meeting between leaders of Mostar Gimnazija and danish visitors
First of all we shared greetings and realized that we had a similar meeting one year ago.
The leaders of Mostar Gimnazija thinks that our visit is well-planned and well-organized.
We agreed that the exchange-project has some strong qualitives like working for ethnic integration inside Mostar and between Bosnia and Denmark. It is also a good idea to work with Biology. The students are engaged in questions regarding recycling, pollution, and sustained growth.
Both Embassys - the bosnian Embassy in Copenhagen and the danish Embassy in Sarajevo knows about our exchange-project and supports it.
We agreed that it is very important to look for finasial funding of the revisit of Mostar-students in the spring of 2008. This visit will create a true exchange between danish and Mostar-students.

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.
