Emoke’s latest post: Happy 4 weeks!
Emoke, LK10, commented TR@F on her own blog, lk10ke, and the editors think it interesting to post her comment here – and give answers to her questions – because she will certainly not be the only person wondering what it means.
Emoke’s comment:
Tr@f
So in case someone might see my dear LK blog before The LK blog, I’m happy to announce The LK Blog / Tr@f!
This is a weird formulation as I’m so happy I can’t even express myself. Though it’s not the web page in English, it is something in English for all the rest of us non danske speakers. A real connection all over this little globe we share with our beloved folkhojskole.
It has been almost 1 month since this baby took birth and we just found out about it… I’ll take the chance to wish happy 4 weeks to this blog/International magazine, hope to get old and wise! :)
I truly appreciate the gesture, looking forward to read many many interesting posts, see lots of pictures, videos and anything you’d like to share. Or we would like to share?? :) Is it open to “guest journalists”?
By the way… what does Tr@f stands for??
Thank you, Emoke, for the questions. I believe, someone might already have send Emoke some answers, but let’s make this public!
If anyone wants to share stories, pictures, video, or other things, please contact the editorial office through the following e-mail: martin@lkhojskole.dk. Guest journalists are most welcome!!
What does TR@F stand for? Tr@f is danish and it is normally written with an “æ”, or as capital letter: Æ; træf. Æ is a diphthong (two vowel sounds occurring in the same syllable), mixing the letters a and e: ae = æ. And the @ looks a bit like it… so we are making it digital!
Træf means encounter. I guess this makes sense for everyone who ever attended Løgumkloster Højkole: We encounter other humans, the world, the teachings, the music, the art; and there is the “Walk & Talk”. But træf can also mean to hit (for example the spot), to hit the right story, to hit the former students. Another meaning is coincidence or chance – well, that might not be intended! Or maybe it is… because life often seems like a coincidence – and at folkhighschool we like to sit and talk about life and existence!
