About Ribe !

Ribe is the oldest city in Denmark ,that's why we have seen much small and traditional houses with history smell. It was the first time I have ever seen an 'art' school called 'UHR - Ungdomshøjskole ved Ribe' that was amaazing! If ı had a chance to take all classes photo,it would be great. Unfortunately there was a party which they said to it 'eighty's party' can make them a little bit drunk so they locked all the doors until sunday. But I will try to give you fantasy of classes.
First of all,you dont need to be talented of spesific branch of art. It is enough to have desire to do something for them and some money as well. Our friend gives 40.000 krons for each year for education,foods,sheltering and some metarials can be needed.I want to say that it was not like usual schools. They just want to you do something whatever you want. They have lots of leisure time to do something as well. there were many seperate rooms that are open all the days except party days:) with special metarials. It was the most different thing for me if I compare to Turkey. Everywhere is open for them and they are allowed to do whatever they want and use schools' materials without permission. In Turkey,In my opinion because of over-population, schools' rules are very distinct about laboratories or art classes such as dont touch or dont use it etc. The rules make us a bit timorous. The reason why our didactics focus on books and teacher is that. On the other hand, if you are in private school that has not got any money and population diffuculties,you are allowed to do something with your fantasy and just yourself. In Ribe,they have buildings with special classes and rooms in a big area like a little city.Painting rooms,music rooms full of instruments,design rooms,woodwork classes,theatre saloons...The school is for two years and at the age of 15-19. They have computers ( I have already adjusted myself to see this:) ) and internet of course. And weekends 2 responsible teacher stay with them to take care.In their huge saloon there was a piano,pool,table tennis and tv that was called 'lazy people's tv by them. It was funny:)
The other part of our trip was walking in the town and sightseeing. The other first thing that we joined in a ceremony in Cathedral. If we know Danish,it would be better the next time ;) We felt the athmosphere and emotion in the songs except the understanding of text.
Travelling,learning different things,being participant and already adapted of erasmus help me to compare and be aware of the main purposes. Excellent!!
