Fäladasgården

Fälasgården is a secondary modern school in Lund, built in 1971, with around 400 pupils between the ages of 11-16, a large number of whom have a non-Swedish ethnic background. Apart from the compulsory study of English most pupils study a second foreign language: French, German or Spanish.

Lund is a small medieval University town (c.100.000 inhabitants) that is situated in the centre of the expansive Öresund region in southern Sweden. It is one of the oldest cities in Sweden with a history more than one thousand years. The air of a small medieval town is somewhat altered by the skyline where the Cathedral and the huge University Hospital stand out.

Nowadays Lund has a multicultural and fairly young population, the latter largely due to the 38.000 students at the University. With the help of the University and the science park, an incubator for innovative research and industry, a great number of knowledge-based companies have developed. Among the internationally well-known companies in Lund are Tetra Pak, Alfa Laval, Sony Ericsson, Gambro and Astra Zeneca.

Friday!

On friday we started 8.30 AM to make imovies about the week on the computers with our spanish friends. We were in 16 different groups. We put songs and pictures from the week in our movies. Later we showed our movies for all the other groups. We sat down and watched everything together in the gym. When we were done watching the movies we changed clothes and gathered to play the football-match against the spaniards.

And Sweden won with 7-0!

And then we looked at a cabaret that the 9th graders portrayed. They went back in time to the 50’s, 60’s 70’s and 80’s were they sang famous songs by Elvis, Kurt Cobain, Bob Marley, etc. Afterwards we went home. The day was fun and exciting. Nice weather too!
