Youth project in Spydeberg
"No name project" 2003-12-17
The 17 of December there was a PIPE day at Askim upper secondary school. Different groups are working with Community development projects in Askim and Spydeberg. One group of four students is working with a project which is aiming to create a new leisure alternative for young people in Spydeberg. They have already a building in mind which could be a suitable location for their ideas.
 
- No, we don't have any name on this project yet, says Magnus Engh Juel, one of the two boys in the project group. Simen Berg Klemetsen is the other one and he is going to Türi in January to meet with the other PIPE students at the Youth Conference. They are both living inside the Community of Spydeberg. They have company in the project group by Carina Mentzoni and Jenny Thomassen Næss from Skiptvet, one of the neighbour municipalities.

The old house called "Melkestasjonen" was a place where the farmers went for delivering their milk. It's located close to the railwaystation and near, but still outside, the very center of Spydeberg.
-Well, "Melkestasjonen" is only one alternative for this idea, but also because we like to do something with the building itself. It's not exactly very pretty the way it's appearing today, they say.

- Has the PIPE project been easy to work with inside the class ? - No it has rather contributed to increased stress, because there has been given to little time to really understand the project and what it's all about. - However, today it was better, because we could use a whole schoolday only for this purpose. They say that the contact with the municipalities Askim and Spydeberg has been good and especially they learned a lot from the youth exchange with Cesis in September.

They also admitt that they probably have to use some more sparetime for the project the next months because of meetings with different people.
