Hello, Bonjour & Ciao
Premier meeting of the Comenius project – GEOPORT
May 4th 2010
What a day! I just have to thank all students of ES1a, Es1B, En1a & En1b, our guest students from St-Jo, Emile Gryzon and Rosina Salvo and teachers alike for making this day such a success. The presentations were interesting, informative and enlightening. You all i.e. THE STUDENTS, displayed such great initiative, creativity and innovation in regards of the products already produced and the ideas there are at hand – WELL DONE!!!! Me and Mr. Bäckström had a blast and are looking forward to what the future beholds for this project. As Mr. Powers, the principal of the International section of Kungsholmens gymnasium, phrased so well in his speech at the Mingling party – this project is for the students, about the students and made by the students. AS YOUR TEACHERS WE COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD!
A special gratitude is extended to Mrs. Adlercreutz our Art teacher, whose presentation and interaction with her students regarding the Murder mystery book covers was greatly appreciated.
I would like to give special thanks to Caleb (ES1a) who assisted in the logistic of the morning session. As well a “yea-to-you” August , Robert, Fredrik, Samiul and Klara P (EN1b) that remained and helped us to fix 5417 to its original set-up.

Would changing the way Slussen is set up now be like taking away the Eiffel tower in Paris, or the statue of Liberty of New York? Slussen may not be a massive tower in Stockholm, but it does however have one thing in common with these beautiful monuments, it attracts many people everyday and is a wonderful necessity for the way the City of Stockholm has been for a long time. Sofie Björck feels that reconstructing Slussen will make it a lot less attractive and remove some of the characteristics of this place. There have been many protests about how the new Slussen is planned to look like, a new “group” on Facebook has been founded, and has circa 2000 members in it, with not only Citizens of Stockholm, but international men and women have raised concern.

Slussen is falling apart
Stockholm has to be rebuilt. That has been a fact since 1980s. The present plan of Slussen has gotten many complains. The majority of the people do not want new buildings occupying the view. Exploding this public place and selling its spaces to companies and property owners to be able to finance the reconstruction of Slussen. Are the people willing to pay through taxes in order to save the view?

We chose the subject human trafficking because it was a very interesting topic and we would like to know more about it. Instead of interviewing an official, we wanted to know just how much does the Swedish people know about human trafficking. So we went to the streets and started interviewing people. We asked both women and men, young and old to see how much they know. We chose different age and gender group due to the fact that maybe older people have more knowledge and experience on this topic.

Human trafficking for sexual purpose is usually referred to just as trafficking. Human trafficking is a growing problem worldwide. Hundreds of children and women are taken against their will to other countries every day. These people are exploited in ways such as prostitution. Up until now only about 20 people have been convicted for trafficking. To be convicted, it must be proven that you forced the victim to do things against their will. In Sweden, the penalty of trafficking is imprisonment. You can be in prison anywhere between two and ten years. The people who take advantage of others and sell them for sex are called “pimps” or, procurers.
