Dear reader,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been a fantastic kick off the new Ranum Efterskole College school year filled with positive energy and lovely young people\u2019s smiles. They have showed the community spirit and commitment to enjoy the efterskole year to the fullest. Things are looking good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students have gone home for a well deserved extended weekend to recharge - and probably tell a lot of efterskole stories from the first two weeks of their school year. Let's look back at some of the great moments we've had over the first two weeks in the first newsletter of the year. \nWelcome back and happy reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to efterskole life: \"First day of school\"<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday the 8th August 2021, almost 500 expectant young people arrived in Ranum. After check-in and help of the parents to carry bags up to their new rooms in the different houses, it was time to meet the contact group - physically, for the very first time. And short after the last hugs and goodbyes, the new and exciting efterskole life was about to begin! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We are holding the wind in our sails and setting course for a fantastic year at Ranum efterskole College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Later, everyone gathered in the Multihallen, where we danced, sang and more importantly spent time with each other. And ended the day with a fun game called the Train of Love. It connects the students and brings out the importance of togetherness during their unique and special year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Tour of Ranum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      During the tour around Ranum, the students had a great chance to get to know the place where they will be living for a year of their lives . The contact groups spent the day together with a map in hand accompanied by a series of questions. The grocery store, the medical centre, the recycling centre, Vilsted Lake and a lot of other places to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Tour of R\u00f8nbjerg<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        One of the most important activities during the intro week is the tour of R\u00f8nbjerg. The day started with a walk to R\u00f8nbjerg as a house activity and socialising with the contact group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        R\u00f8nbjerg Harbour is a place where especially the sailing students will spend a lot of time. It is our maritime base, where the small Ranum fleet is located. The wakeboard track is also located in R\u00f8nbjerg at Landal R\u00f8nbjerg- holiday centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The contact groups were given a lot of tasks and games to complete, and as you can see from the pictures, we had a great day together,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Perhaps the most important part of the programme - apart from lunch with the family groups, of course - was the swimming test, which had to be completed by all students. It is important to get through it, especially if you want to have profile subjects that have something to do with water. Then we have to be sure that the student can swim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Nordic Race<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            After a calm and relaxing Tuesday morning all you need is to get your body moving again. So after an calm start on Tuesday morning with a lot of practical information, the pace changed drastically. One of the intro week activities that the teachers in particular had been looking forward to was our very own Nordic Race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The contact groups had to work together on different tasks, obstacle run with canoes and a whole lot more. It was every bit as hectic and wonderful as it sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            We made a little video from the day- watch it here<\/p>\n\n\n\n
