Focus on entrepreneurship
Today's focus was on entrepreneurship. The presenter during the morning was Arnis Saukas from Stockholm School of Economics in Riga. We started the day by watching a movie about the development of the computer industry. After the movie we discussed about entrepreneurship. The discussions focused on the challenges of being an entrepreneur and setting up an own business.
In the afternoon we went by car to the neighboring town Sorø were we visited an entrepreneur in his business. The place we visited is called "Emils chokolade" and it was Emil himself who welcomed us. He is a graduate of the University of Southern Denmark and he started his own business, a chocolate shop.
The atmosphere during the visit was nice and friendly. While Emil presented his business idea we were served diverse diverse products from his shop: Champagne, Brownies, Hot Chocolate, Pralines, etc. Useless to say that everyone liked the visit a lot.
Thank you Emil for a great afternoon in Sorø!

Let's get started - Our first day in Denmark
The previous night in the hostel was relaxing for most of us. Only few said that they could not sleep well. There are four students in each room and with students from the participating universities. The Academic Staff members have seperate rooms. Shower and toilets are shared.
Our first day in Denmark started with breakfast at the University. The variety of food offered was more than enough. The food gave us energy for the official part of the program. The opening speech for the intensive week started at 9 o'clock and was given by the chairman of the event, Vibeke Toft-Müller.
After the initial hellos, we took part in an group performance evaluation. About two weeks before traveling to Denmark, each group member took part in an online survey. The objective of the activity was to display the preferred roles that the respective group members take within a group work. The outcome of the survey were reviewed during the morning. It gave valuable feedback for the participants about their strengths and weaknesses as members of a group. The activity was followed up by discussion.
Prior to the intensive week, the participating students worked in international project teams on three subjects:
In the afternoon, each project group was given time to train and rehearse their presentation. It was the first time that the groups discussed their project face-to-face. Before that, the groups only
met online. The discussion were fruitful, as they offered valuable input for improving the presentations.
For the evening, there is an international dinner scheduled. The idea is, that each students prepares food from their home country.
