The time has come to use our knowledge in a veileading way – that is what we were trained for this semester. I was really happy with this very successful week although it was very very wet. Our efforts in a heavy rain paid off.

We organised 10 activities for Norwegian students… a lot of Norwegian students -each day we received more that 40 of them. Orienteering, canoeing, abseiling, fire making, stretcher making and a bunch of other group dynamics games – these were our prepared activities. Our task was to challenge teams of students and evaluate their performance and group dynamic processes.

In the evening we would return to our own gapahuks (simple construction wooden shelters). There we light fires and celebrate birthdays… there were 3 birthdays this week alone – Luke’s, Katja’s and Jochen’s.

This week was brilliant as we had a chance to meet so many new faces and put some friluftsliv and veileading skills into action.
