Bicycle adventure

Denmark is a country where without any problems you can cycle whatever you want. Here is so many bicycle roads and conditions are so good that it's pleasure to have your own bike and ride ahead! Before I came here I was so happy because of that but when I came here my next adventure in Denmark has started! BICYCLE ADVENTURE!
My first bicycle was from Christina. It was the oldest bike from every bicycles which we had at home. But I was so proud that I have an antic bike and it was riding so fast! But suddenly something happen with pedals and I went to bicycle shop to fix it. One week later my tire has broke so I went to bicycle shop again.. But man told me that because this bicycle is so old so I will have problems all the time. So I wrote to Christina again and she give me another bicycle but she said that I have to buy new tire. So again ---->bicycle shop...it was funny! And I was so happy again. But 2 weeks later...my tire was broken again! What is going on?!?!? Do I cycle in different way than other people?? So I wrote to one of the buddies and he helped me to fix this bicycle. Everything was OK but of course again... I brooked another! This time I said NO! I will fix it by my own! So again I bot another tire and round thing inside tire and fixed bicycle. I didn't know which tools I should by so I bought 10 so expensive keys and started my night with bicycle. And I did it!!!!! I have this bicycle still and every thing is ok. I'm so proud of myself :) Few weeks ago Marysia's bicycle was broken twice so we also repaired it by our own. Now we can open bicycle workshop. We are THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!

EASTER





It was my first Easter far away from my house. I thought I will be sad all weekend because in my home we celebrate it so much and all family meet in one table. We knew that all shops will be closed on Thursday and Friday so before we went to Copenhagen we went for shopping and bought all needed products for Easter breakfast. On Saturday afternoon we wanted to start preparing eggs for Sunday so we went downstairs where we leave our food in the fridge. We were in good mood because we wanted to paint eggs and we were laughing because we bought 30 EGGS and we were asking ourself how long we will eat them?!?!? And we went downstairs but instead of eggs we saw empty shelf in the fridge!!!!!That was surprising!!!we were in shock!!! Downstairs live few Danish guys so we knocked to their doors but ofcourse they didn't even open doors!! I'm shocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 30 EGGS WERE STOLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So we were sad and started to make jokes with flatmates, of30 eggs which were stolen.


Next day morning we prepared together Easter breakfast, but before that Lila and Kriszti invited us outside the house. They prepared special Easter searching of Easter eggs in the grass. We had lots of fun!!!Than we went home and they shared with us the eggs. We served Polish ham, salad, everybody put something on the table so we had very big feast! Me and Marysia prepared for girls small packages with Polish sweets. I enjoyed together Easter breakfast. Even that I knew that my family is faraway from Haderslev I felt like at home. I want to say THANK YOU GIRLS THAT YOU PREPARED SO BEAUTIFUL BREAKFAST!BIG KISS :)

Citizenship

People with Polish roots live in many countries around the world. Most of them emigrated before WWII, soon after it or later, when Poland was a communist country under the influence of the Soviet Union.

After many years as a satellite of the Soviet Union, Poland had its first partially free elections in 1989 and then quickly became a democratic country. This political revolution was followed by signing of a new Constitution in 1997. Another important step in Poland’s history was its access to NATO in 1999. Poland is now a member of the European Union, and a country which is developing quickly and improving in every area of life. It is well know for its beautiful countryside as well as historical cities like Cracow, Warsaw, Wroclaw or Gdansk.

Many of these emigrants now would like to regain their Polish Citizenship. For many reasons, there are also a number of foreigners interested in living in Poland. Some of these people might be able to make their wish come true. Especially people, whose parents or grandparents were Polish Citizens, may be eligible to confirm their Polish Citizenship. v have long experience preparing applications for Polish Citizenship.


The last citizenship classes were so interesting and so controversy! We saw a few short moves which contained citizenship "problem". I think that our teacher tried to force us to think about that! After words we started discussion about religions and all this things. It was long and full of emotions discusion I think everybody know what I mean ;) I enjoyed it very much!

This is my example of citizenship. Just have a look in very down of my blog!

Aabenraa Fjordskolen




Staying here in Haderslev on Erasmus program is not just only school, trips and having a fun, it's also getting new experience in profession which we will be work in for few ears. Me, Marlena and Marianna experience everyday during this 14 days of practice something new. It's big opportunity for us to see how Danish therapists work with handicap people, with special needs people. And I think it make us rich inside because we can compare it with our country, we can learn a lot but also we can show our ways of methods and treatment in Poland. I think it's very deep experience and really helpful.
Fjordskolen where we have practice is located in Aabenraa. It's divided in 3 departments:

Department A Fjordskolen --> This department has about 100 students with pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), there are children witch Autism, Aspergers Syndrom a.o.
In this department work 1 psychologist, 1 occupational therapist and 1 physiotherapist. Some of the students also visit the after-school centre.



Department B Fjordskolen --> it's department for children witch multiple handicaps. There is 33 children at the moment. There is a big team of teachers, educators which work witch occupational therapist and physiotherapist.
Most of the children in department B is sitting in wheel chairs and need a lot of care with personal hygiene, eating, etc. Some of the children are fed trough a stomach tube. Many of them gets lifted from one place to another because they doesn't have ability to do it them self.
The children in this department deals with problems like spasticity, muscle contractions, lopsided back, etc.

Department C Fjordskolen --> there is about 125 students with different diagnosis like:
- general developmental disorders
- cerebral palsy
- muscles dystrophy
- spinal bifida
- speak and language disabilities
- epilepsy
- deaf and blind
- syndromes (Down-,Griscelli-,William's)

As you can see there is lots of children who need physiotherapists help.
The main task as a physiotherapist are: Training the children, adjusting aids and appliances, instructing the staff, collaborate with surgical appliance maker etc.
The treatment is done individually, in groups in the gym, in the hot water pool, in the outdoor surrounding of the school.




AIMS --> The occupational and psychotherapeutic intervention is education-related : aimed to improving the students ability to engage in teaching and other activities at school and promoting social inclusion.

Physiotherapy for children is primaly aimed at :
Body function and the possibility of movement trough participation in activities.
Body functions such as muscle strength, muscle endurance, stability, mobility, balance, coordination, strength. tonus and timing of movements and physical endurance.




This job is very necessary nowadays specially that every year is more and more handicap children which need schools and organisations which help them.
