Nuestros compañeros Darío y Margarita comienzan su tercer día en el Frederikssund Gymnasium con una clase de matemáticas avanzadas. El sistema danés es similar al español, ya que hay estudiantes divididos en matemáticas avanzadas y otras más sencillas. La clase a la que acuden nuestros compañeros versa sobre probabilidad y combinatoria, comenzando la clase trabajando en grupos y recordando lo que previamente habían aprendido meses atrás. Se les proporcionaron unas pizarras portátiles para realizar ecuaciones y fórmulas, lo que a ojos de nuestros compañeros resultó muy útil. Posteriormente realizaron un "brainstorming" sobre dichos conocimientos y realizaron algunos ejercicios de manera oral en la pizarra. 
La clase siguiente de inglés resultó muy interesante. La profesora había mandado como tarea, leer un libro en inglés. Al preguntar al alumnado si lo había realizado, mandó fuera de clase a aquellos que no hubiesen cumplido con dicha obligación, quedándose la clase únicamente con los alumnos que sí habían realizado la tarea. Se realizaron ejercicios sobre la novela, y después del descanso se incorporaron el resto de alumnos. Las actividades que se habían perdido los alumnos por falta de responsabilidad con su trabajo,deberá ser realizada en casa a modo de "castigo".
Durante la realización de las actividades, a Darío le llama la atención que más que una clase parece un club de lectura, donde se debaten ciertas temáticas y párrafos de la novela.
Finalmente, se realizan algunos ejercicios de gramática, pero de una forma totalmente diferente a como se hace en España, realizado siempre de forma oral y con la pantalla táctil.
Posteriormente, han tenido una reunión con Agnethe, la directora del centro, en la que han comentado aspectos del sistema educativo danés. Aunque existen diferencias notables, se detecta que el concepto de escuela secundaria en Dinamarca incluye únicamente los años que en España se corresponde con Bachillerato. Tiene sentido, por tanto, el ambiente tan excelente de trabajo que existe entre el alumnado y la abundancia de recursos y buen uso del material.

A las 13:00hrs, nuestros docentes acuden a una clase de español con Dorte, ya que muchos estudiantes deseaban poder hacer preguntas en español a nuestros compañeros. Además, Darío y Margarita realizan un Kahoot! sobre cultura general española y andaluza, demostrándose que los alumnos la conocen bastante bien y pasando un rato muy divertido.
Para finalizar, han tenido una reunión con dos profesores: Jens Jelling y Peter Sandhoff. Esta reunión distendida ha tenido lugar fuera del centro, aprovechando el excelente sol del que Dinamarca está haciendo gala estos días (algo que, según comentaron, era poco común). Se han tratado diversos temas, destacando las diferencias entre ambos sistemas educativos y las diferencias culturales entre ambos países. Descubrimos que tenemos mucho más en común de lo que en un comienzo pudiera parecer.
Finalizado el día en el centro educativo, Darío y Margarita vuelven a Copenhague donde disfrutaron de los sitios más emblemáticos de la ciudad, como el Nyhavn (el puerto antiguo de la ciudad), Christiania, la calle Stroget, el Palacio de Amalienborg y la Iglesia de Mármol, la Kongens Nytorv (Plaza del rey) y la famosísima escultura de la sirenita
Para terminar el día, degustaron unos platos típicos daneses del centro de la ciudad.
¡Está siendo una experiencia fantástica! Mañana continuarán buceando en la cultura danesa y sus costumbres.
Our classmates, Darío and Margarita, begin their third day at the Frederikssund Gymnasium with an advanced math class. The Danish system is similar to the Spanish one, since there are students divided into advanced and simpler mathematics. Today’s class deals with probability and combinatorics, beginning the class by working in groups and revising what they previously learned months ago. They use portable blackboards to write equations and formulas, which seems very convenient. After that, they brainstormed on main concepts and solved some problems orally.
Next, they attended an English class that was very interesting. The students had to read a book in English as homework. Those who didn’t do it are sent out of the class as they didn’t comply with their duty. Several reading activities about the novel were carried out, and, after the break, the rest of the students joined the class. The activities that the students had missed, due to lack of responsibility with their work,should be carried out at home as “punishment".
During the activities, Darío is struck by the fact that, more than a class, it seems like a reading club, where certain topics and paragraphs of the novel are discussed.
Finally, some grammar exercises are carried out, but in a totally different way to how it is done in Spain, always carried out orally using a touch screen.
Later, they had a meeting with Agnethe, the school principal, in which they talked about aspects of the Danish educational system. There are notable differences, they realised that the concept of secondary school in Denmark only includes the years that in Spain correspond to Baccalaureate. It makes sense, therefore, the excellent work atmosphere that exists among the students and the abundance of resources as well as the good use of the material.
At 1:00 p.m., our teachers attended a Spanish class with Dorte, since many students wanted to ask our classmates questions in Spanish. Darío and Margarita play a Kahoot! on general Spanish and Andalusian culture, showing that the students know quite a lot about it. They all had a great time.
The working hours end with a meeting with two teachers: Jens Jelling and Peter Sandhoff. This informal meeting took place outside the school, taking advantage of the excellent sun that Denmark is giving us these days (something that is unusual, as they say). Various topics have been discussed, highlighting the differences between the two educational systems and the cultural differences between the two countries. We discovered that we have much more in common than it might seem at first.
Once finished, Darío and Margarita return to Copenhagen, where they enjoyed the most emblematic sites of the city, such as the Nyhavn (the old port of the city), Christiania, Stroget street, the Amalienborg Palace and the Church of Marble, the Kongens Nytorv (King's Square) and the famous sculpture of the Little Mermaid. In addition, in Churchill Park our colleagues photographed the monument to the Danes who fought against fascism in the Spanish Civil War.
To end the day, they enjoyed some typical Danish dishes in the city centre.
It is being such a fantastic experience! Tomorrow they will continue diving into the Danish culture and customs.
