A wonderful week in Copenhagen on 24.-30.10
We went to Copenhagen for a week and visited a lot of deaf organisations.
Ahh what can I to write first… Monday we arrived in Copenhagen from here and we went to a hostel with bags etc. Then we went and grabbed some food then met Redtop for a Deaf History tour. He took us around Copenhagen and showed us some important places where deaf education developed. He also shared the history of Castberg; the man that Castberggård is named after.
Monday noon, we went to a meeting for Tegnsprog Nu and was too stunning to see how they act with Tegnsprog Nu = Sign Language NOW. Tegnsprog Nu group is like active group and they want to show what is sign language and justice. The goals are: Make DSL an official language of Denmark, increase awareness about DSL and the Danish Deaf community, increase events relating to DSL and the Deaf community, increase media about DSL and the Deaf community. www.tegnsprognu.dk
Tuesday morning= THRILL!
Guess what? We went to the CI- hospital to get know doctor’s theory about Deaf, Sign Language and CI. A little bit sticky to explain what it was like in there. A woman who is an audiologist, told about CI, CI- children etc, we had questions for her and she answered us. We can see that she lies sometimes. Lie is maybe a wrong word but unaccountable tales were explained to us. Also she showed us CI- objects, how an operation process. This time was too hostile mood, my feelings was. Can’t explain. It was too close that I left in the middle of a meeting, but I stayed there all time with FR.
After CI we went to visit Deaf TV.
We went to Deaf TV’s studio and we got know about their a history etc. They have a variety of programmes; children’s programme What is Didi, teenage programme Beebs, young adult programme Swap, adults Viften 30 minutes. Then Beebs interviewed us in the studio with video cameras about our Frontrunners. Frontrunners’s interview will be shown on TV here in Denmark sometimes in the last week of November. We enjoyed it a lot. www.deaftv.dk

Almost young people, new faces.
On Saturday morning I, Sarah, Christoper, Gordon and Iva went to Helsingör (North of Copenhagen/Denmark) by train about 45minutes. In Helsingör has one big and historical castle called Kronborg Slot. We visited there for about 3hours and went to walk in Helsingör- city. Ohh, old houses, beautiful!!! And then we went to SWEDEN, Helsingborg by ship only 10 minutes from Helsingör to Helsingborg. I’ve never been in Helsingborg before! Ohh, Helsingborg is too unique and old city. We visited in Helsingborg’s old city, walked, walked around the city. I’m happy when I visited a lot of cities in South Sweden; Göteborg, Malmö, Lund and Helsingborg. BACK TO COPENHAGEN from Helsinborg by ship and train. When we arrived in Copenhagen, we met other Deaf people and we went to eat together. Talking, Talking… Sunday whole all day I was lazy and stayed only at Thomas’ home, heh heh. Afternoon I and Sarah left from Copenhagen back to Castberggaard. We’d not want to go to back Castberggaard, we enjoyed lots in Copenhagen!!! Hih.
