We heard about a traineeship in Denmark, and it was like a dream for us - we really wanted the experience. All of us studied very hard to get the chance to go to Denmark. We had to take four exams on vocational topics and English.
When we passed these exams, we were accepted to the traineeship. We completed the passport and document submission process, and our journey began 5 December. We travelled to Thyholm, Denmark from Turkey via Germany to begin our traineeship. We first got on a plane to go to Hamburg, Germany.
After landing in Germany, we travelled by bus to Denmark and our education began. We trained for six days over two weeks. On the other days, we explored Thyholm and went to three big cities (Aalborg, Aarhus and Copenhagen).
On our first day of training, we learned about renewable energy and the parts of a wind turbine. On other days, we made calculations related to wind turbines, did practical exercises in a workshop and used wood to make our own windmill. On the last day of our training, we explored the Nordic Folkecenter for Renewable Energy.
When we returned to Turkey, we were so grateful to have been part of this project in which we learned and put into practise so many things, and met new people. It was an incredible experience for all of us.
