At the moment we are working with our biggest project. We are part of the race between many Efterskoler, trying to raise the most money to give to Danmarks Indsamling. Danmarks Indsamling is a 'real' project, where we get to interact with communities and towns around Denmark. We also learn that we can make a difference. We are informing ourselves and others what the importance of charity work is. We want to make a difference and help people in the developing world. Through Danmarks Indsamling, we are learning about realistic projects, target audiences and conveying messages to get a wanted resulted.
Inside this big project we are currently organizing around 16 small projects to raise as much money as possible. This page will be updated regularly, explaining what projects we are working on at the moment. |

Sponsor Race
We are organizing five sponsor races at Skals Efterskole, Skals School, Bavnebakke Skolen, Randlevskolen and Langholt skole around the country. On December 5th, 2014 we had our first sponsor race at our own school: Skals Efterskole. All, 140 students and a number of teachers ran for 1 hour. The atmosphere was very good and we all motivated each other to run as much as we could. Alone this first sponsor race will give us around 50 000 kr once all the money is collected.
Our next sponsor race is at Langholt skole, which will be held on Friday the 12th of December. The whole SIP class will be going up here to organize the whole sponsor race with around 100 students from Langholt skole.

Flea Market in Viborg
On November 22nd, we held a flea market in Viborg. We sold second hand items, that were donated by all the students and their parents from Skals Efterskole. This was our first 'real' event to earn money and it was quite successful. We earned nearly 3 000 kr.
"Pizza med et formål"
"Pizza with a purpose!" We have asked Skals Pizzaria to donate 5 kr, each time a certain Pizza is sold. They agreed so every time somebody buys the pizza's: number 29, 20 and 3, five kroner are donated to Danmarks Indsamling.
Selling Fresh Cookies
For 3 days we are selling fresh, homemade, chocolate chip cookies at Skals Efterskole. We sold the first load on December 08th in the evening and they sold out really quickly. We made 180 kr on the first day when selling cookies.
Collecting Boxes
We have distributed over 100 Danmarks Indsamling collecting boxes in stores around the country. All SIP students went to their home towns to ask as many shops as possible, if they would be interested to have a collecting box on their counter. We also had 3 students going around Viborg distributing 27 boxes in stores there.
Dorm Race
At Skals Efterskole, we are holding a race between all dorms and the teachers; who can collect the most money? The 5kr coin counts as minus points, so if one dorm is winning, just put a lot of 5kr coins in their collecting box and then you are on your way to the winning prize. The prize is breakfast at bed, served by two teachers: Lars and Peter :) If the teachers win, the prize is that each dorm has to bake a cake over a course of 2 weeks. It is worth fighting for!
Donation Gift Cards
Unsure what to give your family for Christmas? We have made a feel good gift card donating to Danmarks Indsamling! Give your family a uniquely made gift card and choose yourself what amount you want to donate. We are sure they are going to be very happy and enjoy their feel good gift card!
School Year Sweatshirts
We are making
end of year school sweatshirts with signatures from all the students. Every student can choose their own colour and name. In the back we will print a design with signatures of all students from Skals Efterskole 14/15. Per sweater 30-40 kr
go to Danmarks Indsamling!
Sponsor T-shirts
We have worked hard and contacted 25 companies to ask them if they would be interested to sponsor us. The deal was that they would donate between 1000-5000 kr and in return they will get a spot on our sponsor t-shirts, which we will wear for all our events. They also get a spot in our four Danmarks Indsamlings videos which are on Youtube, shared on our Facebook and Efterskolernes Danmarks Indsamling's website. In the end we got 6 companies to sponsor the SIP T-shirts, giving us around 16 500 kr.
Danmarks Indsamlings Videos
In October we were at the Media School in Viborg for a 3 week course and as a result of this we created four videos about Danmarks Indsamling. These were meant to serve as a influential video, getting more people to care and get involved in Danmarks Indsamling. Watch our four videos under the Danmarks Indsamling tab on this website called 'Your Help'.
Auction
We will be holding an auction for all the parents on the 23rd of January. We will get second hand things from students and parents. We also want to contact different stores and companies, to ask if they have any last sale items that they don't need anymore, or items which they can't sell because they have a slight damage. These we will sell at the auction and let the parents, students and teachers fight for the items with their wanted prices.
Supermarkets
We are contacting different stores and supermarket chains to ask them to donate a certain amount of money each time a specific product is being brought. More specifically, we have asked Spar in Skals to donate a small amount each time they sell bananas, a tooth paste, a chocolate bar or a soda, etc. They were definitely interested but they will contact us on further logistics.
Concerts
We are
planning to hold a concert with Steffen Brand here at the school for students, their friends and family in January. Each students will be able to get as many tickets as they would like and they will try to sell these for their families, friends and relatives for around 200 kr. Furthermore, we could sell snacks and drinks at the concert. We are still waiting for a definite yes from Steffen Brand but we are very excited to make this concert happen.
Adidas Pants
We are at the moment ordering Adidas pants for the students from Skals who want them. The pants are very popular and they will be printed with the student name and Skals Efterskole logo. Around 10-20 kr will be donated to Danmarks Indsamling from each pair.
Selling Computers
NordVirk (a student's dad's company) who fixes and resells computers, has donated two fixed and good quality computers, which we are reselling, one for 2500kr and the other for 2400kr.
PR (Public Relations)
Four of our students are managing a PR group at the side of their other project work. The PR group is very important to us and it consists of contacting and attracting the media and public press, such as our local radio, newspaper and TV. We have already had a small note in Viborg Stifts Folkeblad about our sponsor races.
