Beauté Pacifique went on Sprogcamp 2013 at Hjorring Gymansium
where students worked with language and companies - also Beauté Pacifique.
Organizer Lisbeth Graverholt explains the purpose of a language-camp:
-There are multiple purposes of a language-camp like this.
What we want to do is to create a focus on the languages.
And there is the overall purpose that we gather all the
language-talents to be found i Northern Jutland.
It is the first time we bring in sponsors,
and it has been a condition to be able to host a camp like the one this year.
-Beaute Pacifique was chosen because I - maybe 7 years ago,
met Flemming Christensen at a lecture in Hjorring at an acupuncture clinic,
and I got the impression that he was a very trustworthy and very
honest person, who had a product that he could vouch for.
Teacher in Spanish at Aalborg University, Ana Maria Marcias explaines
what is taking place at the exhibition.
-They are to answer phonecalls,
and they should of course try to answer in Spanish,
-they will also answer e-mails, they shall present the company
-and they shall mingle. We have had a really good coorporation with Beauté Pacifique,
-they have been very helpful giving us many interesting things,
a lot of 'toys' we can show at the company.
And it is very important that the students
obtains knowledge that language also can be used in some practical settings.
But why do the young choose to spent a weekend at language-camp
and on something that resembles school-work?
I did it mostly to get a new angle
on the second language and get to meet
new people through the language.
But it is also mentally tiring to work that intensive with a foreign language.
-We were really tired when we went to bed yesterday
because we had worked so intensively with the language
- but it was really interesting and I feel that I have gain a lot.
It is the second time the Language-Camp is being held at Hjorring Gymnasium
- and the first time Beauté Pacifique participates.
