Sociocultural activities of the youth : Danish
music band

We
think it would be a good idea to write postings teaching the music of Denmark
as well as the various music groups that we'll see and hear during our stay.
The
children in Denmark have a lot of free time: the school occupies approximately
5 to 6 hours of their day and the Danish children do not work outside. During
their spare time, the Danish children are active. Of course, they can sit on
sofa watching TV but generally their spare time is full of activities.
Playing
on the computer has become a popular hobby. The most part of Danish children
have access to Internet.
It
is also current to be a scout or to follow a music class or to learn to play an
instrument. In
Denmark, 89% of children from 7 to 15 years old, played a sport in the past
year. The popular sports among the
Danish children are: football, swimming, gymnastics, handball, badminton and
ice skating.
Half of the Danes from 16 and older, practice
some sort of sport or physical exercise. The most popular is swimming, among
common people but also as a high-level sport. The Danish have some of the best
swimmers of the world. And there is also weightlifting, cycling and the Danes
jog a lot.
