Spare time

Many young people living in Denmark like to spend a lot of money. However the money-finding business sometimes can be very hard! But do not despair – the solution has been found and it consists of a job after school! Having a job after school is very common among adolescents in Denmark and you can work as everything from a paper boy to a shop assistant.
Even though the job can be a torment it is worth the effort ultimately – because the money you earn you are free to spend on whatever you want – and considering the possibilities in Vejle (our hometown) you have a lot of options.
You might hang out with your friends at one of our nice cafés and spend some of your money on a cup of hot chocolate or some delicious food. You might also go shopping either at the mall or on our pedestrianized street and spend your money on clothes, music, movies - you name it! If you consume way too many calories you will want to burn them off in one of our fitness centers. A lot of people spend plenty of time there.
Many young people also spend a lot of money on the night life. In Vejle there are some very nice discos, but ultimately it is very expensive if you go to parties every weekend.

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.
