Netherlands again, this time Rotterdam :)

I returned safe from Brazil, our project ended up to be extraordinary for us and it was an amazing experience. I still need to finalize some details and update our project website. While in Brazil I wrote a short article, that my friend Frauke published (click here). The article was also featured at the Kaos Pilots website.

After the final exams, loads of (crazy) parties and 2 weeks of beach-time in Århus (great weather), I came to Netherlands to support Kaos Pilots Netherlands (go to website kaospilots.nl) to select the Team 1, the first team of students. The school is opening doors in Rotterdam by mid-September. After two amazing days in Dordrecht (I really enjoy being observer and running workshops!), I managed to get some free days in Amsterdam, seeing old friends and enjoying a bit of the town. I even visited Rijksmuseum!! Of course the rain was annoying...

During these days I met with KPNL and an interesting proposal came on the table: to work for them during the summer, to setup the "Landing Zone" for Team 1, which means support in logistics, recruitment, location, curriculum and other thousand things, necessary for the start of classes in 2 months.

Well, I accepted the "summer-job" immediately, and just flew back to Århus to pack my stuff and go back to Rotterdam. I'm here until 20th of August, when my 2nd year starts in Denmark. The payment is less then working in Denmark, but the satisfaction and the challenge is much higher, especially working next to "education entrepreneurs", it gives me a lot of insights and I've learned a lot from this experience so far.

So, if you're near by, just come and visit me! :)
