This past semester I continued my studies in Denmark with the DIS study abroad program in Copenhagen. I have dreamt of going to Copenhagen for a long time, so being able to live and study there for 4 months was truly a dream. I took 5 courses in Copenhagen, each of them enriching and enlightening, but my two favorites included the Politics and Ethics of Food and Activism: Engagement and Resistance. It was interesting to be able to study these subjects from a different perspective than the U.S. and to learn about them in a Scandinavian context. This especially pertains to my interests in food equity and sustainability, as I plan to pursue my Social Justice and Sustainability Pathway project at Conn focusing on this topic. In many of my classes, we attended field studies across Denmark touring Co-Housing Communities, sustainable farms, activist organizations, and more. These field studies and study tours were one of the things that stood out to me most about the program. I was also able to travel around Europe during weekends and breaks, exploring cities, countrysides, and islands. I was able to meet lifelong friends from all over the country (and world), and create connections with people who I wouldn’t have otherwise met. Copenhagen truly felt like home, and leaving was difficult. However, I know it is not goodbye forever and I am overwhelmed with gratitude that I even got the opportunity to call it home. What a gift. This spring semester, I will be taking many courses for my American Studies major, as well as some for my Dance major back on the Connecticut College campus. I look forward to continuing work in my Social Justice and Sustainability Pathway, choreographing and dancing, and more of the wonderful things that come with returning to campus! As always, I could not have done any of this without the help from MVYouth. The support and encouragement never fails to amaze me and I am forever grateful for it. I cannot thank MVYouth enough.
