We make it possible for the students to also spend some time on their own projects. Then you provide a simple description of what you want to do as a scholarship student. It can be something associated with a course, joint subjects, electives, sustainability, kitchen, boarding school, activity -- yes, most of it. The most important thing is that you get practice in something you want to do, and experience with all the phases of a project.

You choose areas of specialization in “Boarding and Activity” or “Documentation and Marketing”. Here you will receive training and the opportunity to make impact on the year, and contribute to the development of the school.

Throughout the year, you will be affiliated with one of the school's other lines, and receive leadership training there. You will receive guidance from a teacher on the line, or others who are naturally associated with the practice areas you have chosen.

The trip will be linked to a solidarity project that schoolarship students are helping to lead. We organize in advance collection of money, clothes and other things they need. In Gambia we visit Merete and Gambia Care. Here we get to know the Gambian culture and the people who live here, we get to participate in their everyday lives and experience the real Gambia. There will also be time to check out the wildlife, Gambian culture and history, and shop at the exciting markets. The country also has a short but delightful coastline where we will allocate ourselves a few relaxing days in the sun. After this, you will have a solid expertise in project work, while also learning about life in The Gambia.
