The Forrin Podcast 4: Pragmatic idealism

from The Forrin Podcast

Welcome to the fourth episode of the Forrin Podcast. In this episode Pat and Mike talk about their experiences in the Danish and French education systems. They each give their accounts of their initial impressions of taking an education both at secondary school and university. Also, they touch on what it was like to be a foreign student at their respective institutions and how their grammatical shortcomings were brought to the fore. However, as this is such a huge topic that also inevitably draws comparison with further education opportunities in England, the two agree that this topic will be continued in future episodes.Also discussed is Denmark’s new “Koran Law”, which branches into Denmark’s digression from a Competition State, to a protectionist state. Many thanks for listening and see you in two weeks!News story: https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/seneste/regeringen-aendrer-i-forslaget-til-en-koranlov?fbclid=IwAR1EVFcWvVcoRCSYWPFLB1_NLiDFtoxyNPL4efCLO6x3A2p_jRx5FFmV5PMMixed and edited by Pat Garratt.Music: Mike BowdenHosted on Acast.
