Sports in Denmark

In our group we are very physically active in our spare time. Two of us, Camille and Lotte, play handball, and one of us, Kristoffer, plays badminton. We enjoy working out, and several times a week we all do fitness.
Lotte and Camille: "We play handball three times a week, about 6 hours' practice each week and one match every weekend. Every Monday and Tuesday our coach picks us up after school and drives us directly to practice.
"Handball is an important part of our life. We are very serious about our handball and play in the second best league in the country. The local newspaper covers our matches."
Handball is a break from the daily pressures of school; it is a fun way to relax and a good way to put your mind on other things."
Kristoffer: "I play badminton twice a week, Thursday and Friday. I mainly play badminton because it is an individual sport, unless of course you play the double. I enjoy the sense of community at my club as well. I’m not as serious about my sport as Camille and Lotte, but I have won a few titles throughout the years I have played badminton.

Youth in Vejle

There are many things to do when you are part of the young generation in Vejle. Clothes, work and parties play an important role in defining the choices young people have to worry about.










- "Bryggen" (shopping Mall in Vejle)

Rosborg Gymnasium is part of our everyday life. There is also a business school, and a technical school that young people attend to. Most of the young people have a job after school so they can earn some money for parties and fun. When young people are partying in Vejle, we go to dance clubs in the city of Vejle. The clubs in the town are attractive meeting places for young people.

Another place where young people meet is the sportsclubs. Many people in Denmark (and Vejle) love to play football, handball and all kinds of sport.

In the summer many young people go to the beach and swim with their friends. It's hot in the summer, and it is VERY cold during the winter months. The lakes around Vejle are all frozen solid with ice. It is fun to ice-skate. So it's possible to walk on it – but it is not safe. These things are part of the fun of being young in Vejle.
