The expedition to Denmark started at the coach station in Brno from where we set out on the journey to the capital city in two groups. The first one, accompanied by Mr Sargánek, consisted of the students who wanted to see some historic sights of Prague and experience the atmosphere of the 20th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution.

In July 2009 our school was given together with our partner schools from Denmark, Spain and Great Britain a grant for the project The impact of personal food, drink and lifestyle choices on personal health, social issues and cultural identity, the environment, global economy and the distribution of wealth. This project will be realized from August 2009 till July 2011.

Topic Food, drink, lifestyle and personal health will be inquired into by students during their work from different points of view such as

a)      Health and lifestyle of an individual                             Denmark

c)      The environment                                                       Czech Republic
