On the 7th we visited some institutions in groups. I went to a psyquiatric hospital and to a kindergarden. It was really interesting. I think that to see different ways to work with people it’s useful to enrich our knowledge.
On the second course of my degree I had my practical placement in a residence for people with mental illness and i could see other services and when I saw that my group had to go to the psyquiatric hospitall I thoght that it could be an opportunity to see a different experience with people with mental illness. I think that the way to work is really similary like in Spain but it was interesting too.
Then we went to the kindergarden. I think that it was fantastic. It’s really different from Spain. There where 21 children of 10 different nationalities and 5 persons to take care of them (pedagogues almost all). They take a lot of advantage by playing at the same time as learning.
It was very nice to to listen the other groups on the presentations because we could listen more examples of different intstitutions and compare it with other countries. Also we lern more about the Pedagogy in a Danish context with Lone and a comparison of the kindergarden in Denmark and a pre-school in England with Karen.
In relation with the class with Lone, It was interesting to see why the pedagogy in Denmark is like it is, see the historical influences (Fröbel, Pesatalozzi, Rosseau, Montessori, Dewey; I had known the majority of these authors at the university and it was so interesting to know how they infuences the pedagogy in Denmark), the curriculum, history about Frøbel...The way that the pedagogues treat the children. For example, in Spain I think that it's impossible to see children with a knive, for example, because it's "dangerous" (protective way), but here, in Denmark, if they have a cut they learn about it.

As a future social educator sometimes I have dilemmas when I compare ways of work, institutions, etc. because when I see something that works I think that all could be like on the same way in another country. But after I think that every country has it's context and history and I think that to change something radically it's no easy to do and that it’s not appropriate too. With this I’m not pretending to say that when something goes wrong we can’t change this because there are a lot of challenges that we can overcome if we work in it.
