Podcasts about Mikkel

Andreas Steno, founder and CEO of Steno Research, is back with Mikkel Rosenvold, partner and head of geopolitics at Steno Research, to break down Moody's U.S. debt downgrade, Trump's Middle East investment tour, and bitcoin's price action amid rising bond yields.

I denne episode har Anders og Finn fået besøg af Mikkel Nørskov Brauer, som er tidligere rådgiver indenfor planteavl hos Velas, og nu produktionskonsulent hos Vestjyllands Andel. Vi kommer til at dele programmet op i to bider, hvoraf vi her i den første dykker ned i hvem Mikkel er og hvordan han landede hos VA. Mikkel er opvokset i Jylland, og har både været driftleder i Sverige og på Sjælland. Før Mikkel blev ansat hos VA, var han ved Velas, hvor han blandt andet beskæftigede sig med præcisionsjordbrug, droner og spotsprøjtning med mere. Det dykker vi meget mere ned i, i næste episode. Vi runder programmet af med at snakke lidt om den vækstsæson vi står i netop nu. Anders Lau og planterådgiver Finn Poulsen bliver klogere på aktuelle emner indenfor plantesektoren og der vil både være tid til nørderi og god stemning. Planteavlerne præsenteres i samarbejde med GLS-A og ECNergy.

I denne uges udsendelse skal vi sige farvel til Jonas Bjerre, som forlader Mew efter 30 år i bandet, vi anbefaler emotionel og melodisk, dansk støjrock fra The Raveonettes, den 90'er popinspirerede, nye, fantastiske single fra St. Lucia og så har vi hele 3 anbefalinger fra vores gode lyttere, Michael, Carsten og Mikkel, som er af et mesterværk af et album fra engelske Steven Wilson, en lækker ny single fra danske CODY og et herligt albumnummer fra dejlige danske Alberte. Vi tager også et tilbageblik på, hvordan Tjeklisten så ud i midten af maj 2007 Derudover snakker vi det kontroversielle nordirske rapband Kneecap, vi kommer ind på så forskellige navne som Bjarne Henriksen, Jarl Cordua, Bamse og Kylling, Jørgen Herbert og Anders Fogh og hans polske ven Marek, vi nævner Texaco utroligt mange gange og det gør Simon Kvamm endda også, og så indtager vi desuden Team Ghita og Team Iben, vi snakker Jonas Bjerres kat Peanut, vi gør nærmest Sharon Osbourne til en royalperson og så ytrer Andy sig fejlagtigt om computerspil, og proklamerer, at han ikke længere stoler på Justin Timberlake. Playliste: The Raveonettes - Strange St. Lucia - Crimes of passion Steven Wilson - First regret/3 years older Steven Wilson - Hands cannot erase CODY - Leave it up to you Alberte - Tag pladen af Kneecap - H.O.O.D. 2025 The Radio Dept. - Freddie and the Trojan Horse Mew - Her voice is beyond her years The Killers - Read my mind (Pet Shop Boys Stars Are Blazing Mix) (Edit) Mika - Grace Kelly Nelly Furtado - Say it right Alphabeat - 10.000 nights of thunder Nephew - Mexico ligger i Spanien

My guest today is Mikkel Thorup, the founder and CEO of Expat Money, an expat consultancy company that focuses on helping clients to legally mitigate tax liabilities, obtain second residencies and citizenships, as well as make foreign investments, including international real estate. Raised in Canada and self-educated since the age of 12, Mikkel's journey is anything but conventional. He's lived in nine countries, visited over 110, and owns real estate in ten. His unique blend of lived experience and global expertise gives him an unparalleled perspective on freedom, sovereignty, and the tools needed to thrive outside failing Western democracies. In this episode, we dive into the philosophy of "planting flags", the idea of diversifying your life and assets across multiple jurisdictions to avoid being at the mercy of any one government. Mikkel walks us through the principles of perpetual travel, international tax strategy, second passports, and safe havens across Latin America and beyond. Tune in for Mikkel's insights; an urgent wake-up call to prepare a Plan B before it's too late.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

Mens Lars er blevet stadig mere forbeholden over for at opstille scenarier for krigen, har Mikkel en teori om de ukrainske udmeldinger. I RÆSONs podcastserie Geopol stiller professor Mikkel Vedby Rasmussen og ph.d. Lars Bangert Struwe skarpt på tidens største geopolitiske udfordringer.

Lars og Mikkel gennemgår de store nyheder, der ikke kommer frem i den hjemlige — og amerikanske dækning. For dækker vi i for høj grad Ukrainekrigen ud fra, hvad der bliver sagt fra Moskva og Washington? Er vi for hurtige til at købe Trumps fortælling om, at ukrainerne allerede har tabt? Fra et analytisk perspektiv er krigen hverken tabt eller vundet. Europæerne er langsomt ved at overtage for amerikanerne, og kampen foregår nu ikke længere kun ved fronten, men også i baglandet, som er blevet en slagmark for sabotageaktioner. I RÆSONs podcastserie Geopol stiller professor Mikkel Vedby Rasmussen og ph.d. Lars Bangert Struwe skarpt på tidens største geopolitiske udfordringer.

Forfatter-bauta Lars Saabye Christensen har gjennom snart femti år som forfatter klart å kombinere bred leserappell med fremragende litterær kvalitet. Oppvekstskildringene om Kim, Ola, Sebastian og Gunnar har blitt folkeeie, og samtidig har han vunnet det meste av store litterære priser, deriblant Kritikerprisen og Nordisk råds litteraturpris. I 2024 ble han også belønnet med Brages hederspris for sin ruvende og rikholdige bibliografi.Saabye Christensens forfatterskap teller så langt over 70 utgivelser og viser en enorm bredde, og evne til stadig utforskning og fornyelse. Også som novelleforfatter står han sterkt, og i år er han ute med sin første novellesamling på over ti år. Novellene i Haren spenner fra hva som kan skje når en forsmådd debutant tar hevn på en etablert forfatterstjerne, via glemte og gjemte sanger, til folk som husket bryllupsdagen, men glemte ekteskapet. Her kommer særlig Saabye Christensens sorgmuntre grunntone godt frem, og hans unike evne til å trekke den nære samtiden inn i litteraturen gjennom fortetta og presise situasjonsbilder.Saabye Christensen begeistrer stadig nye generasjoner lesere med tidløs, universell og fengslende historiefortelling, og hans forfatterskap har vært en viktig inspirasjon for forfattere på tvers av generasjoner. En av disse er Mikkel Bugge, som også har markert seg som novelleforfatter. Han har fulgt forfatterskapet tett, og gikk også på skrivekurs hos Saabye som ung forfatterspire. Nå møtes de to til samtale om å skrive noveller, humørfylte skråblikk og Saabye Christensens omfangsrike forfatterskap. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I dette afsnit har Cyron Melville inviteret Mikkel Boe Følsgaard ind til en snak om det trygge arbejdsrum og om forberedelsen inden man møder op på set el. på teatret.   Rigtig god lyttelyst :)

I RÆSONs podcastserie Geopol stiller professor Mikkel Vedby Rasmussen og ph.d. Lars Bangert Struwe skarpt på tidens største geopolitiske udfordringer. Mens alles øjne er rettet mod Det Hvide Hus og regnskabet efter Trumps første 100 dage, er Pakistan og Indien på randen af krig efter et terrorangreb i Indien. Lars og Mikkel vender blikket mod Asien, hvor USA har spillet sig selv svag, hvilket Kina udnytter til at gøre sig attraktiv over for nye allierede. Det betyder noget for den rolle, Australien – som snart skal til valg – kan spille i regionen. Alt dette og meget mere kan du blive klogere på i dagens udgave af Geopol.

more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-04-29-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Under de strålende forårssol i København spadserede tre venner ad Kastellets brostensbelagte stier.En: Under the shining spring sun in København, three friends strolled along Kastellet's cobblestone paths.Da: Kastellet, med sine græsklædte volde og historiske bygninger, var et fredeligt sted.En: Kastellet, with its grass-covered ramparts and historic buildings, was a peaceful place.Da: Fuglene kvidrede, og vinden bar duften af nye blomster over mod Mikkel, Sofia og Kasper.En: The birds chirped, and the wind carried the scent of new flowers towards Mikkel, Sofia, and Kasper.Da: Mikkel, altid med øjnene skarpt rettet mod målet, kunne ikke lade være med at tænke på den kommende præsentation ved inkubatoren.En: Mikkel, always with his eyes sharply focused on the goal, couldn't help but think about the upcoming presentation at the incubator.Da: Han vidste, at dette var deres chance.En: He knew this was their chance.Da: "Vi har brug for en stærk pitch," sagde han ivrigt.En: "We need a strong pitch," he said eagerly.Da: "Vi skal imponere investorerne."En: "We need to impress the investors."Da: Sofia nikkede bekymret.En: Sofia nodded worriedly.Da: "Men vi må fortælle en historie," foreslog hun blidt.En: "But we have to tell a story," she suggested gently.Da: "Noget som folk kan føle."En: "Something people can feel."Da: Kasper, som altid var lidt skeptisk, rystede på hovedet.En: Kasper, who was always a bit skeptical, shook his head.Da: "Vi mangler data.En: "We're lacking data.Da: Teknologien er vigtig.En: The technology is important.Da: Vi skal vise, hvorfor vores idé er bedre."En: We need to show why our idea is better."Da: Men de kunne ikke blive enige.En: But they couldn't agree.Da: Diskussionen gik frem og tilbage, og stemningen blev anspændt.En: The discussion went back and forth, and the atmosphere became tense.Da: For at lette spændingen foreslog Mikkel, at de tog en pause.En: To ease the tension, Mikkel suggested they take a break.Da: De kunne lade naturen og historie i Kastellet give dem nye idéer.En: They could let nature and the history of Kastellet give them new ideas.Da: Da de gik langs voldene, kom de forbi en ældre herre, som studerede de gamle kanoner.En: As they walked along the ramparts, they passed an elderly gentleman who was studying the old cannons.Da: Han bar en historiekasket og hilste venligt.En: He wore a historical cap and greeted them kindly.Da: "Kender I historien om Kastellet?"En: "Do you know the history of Kastellet?"Da: spurgte han.En: he asked.Da: "Det er et sted fyldt med både krige og fred."En: "It's a place filled with both wars and peace."Da: Mikkel lyttede opmærksomt.En: Mikkel listened attentively.Da: "Hvordan bruger du begge dele i samme fortælling?"En: "How do you use both in the same story?"Da: spurgte han nysgerrigt.En: he asked curiously.Da: Den ældre herre smilede.En: The elderly gentleman smiled.Da: "Balance, min ven.En: "Balance, my friend.Da: Historien skal have styrke, men også følelser."En: The story needs to have strength but also emotions."Da: Mikkels øjne lyste op.En: Mikkel's eyes lit up.Da: Idéern begyndte at forme sig i hans hoved.En: Ideas began to form in his head.Da: Kunne deres pitch være både teknisk præcis og rørende?En: Could their pitch be both technically precise and moving?Da: Han så fra Sofia til Kasper og vidste, at de kunne gøre det sammen.En: He looked from Sofia to Kasper and knew they could do it together.Da: Tilbage ved inkubatoren arbejdede de i fællesskab.En: Back at the incubator, they worked collaboratively.Da: Sofia tilføjede en personlig historie til deres præsentation, mens Kasper sørgede for, at al teknologi var enkel og klar.En: Sofia added a personal story to their presentation, while Kasper ensured all technology was simple and clear.Da: Mikkel vævede det hele sammen.En: Mikkel wove it all together.Da: Da de stod foran investorerne, var de klar.En: As they stood before the investors, they were ready.Da: Deres pitch var en perfekt blanding af fakta og følelser.En: Their pitch was a perfect blend of facts and emotions.Da: Ordene flød let, inspireret af både fortidens visdom og Kastellets skønhed.En: The words flowed easily, inspired by both the wisdom of the past and the beauty of Kastellet.Da: På præsentationens slutning hørte de klapsalver.En: At the end of the presentation, they heard applause.Da: Investorerne var imponerede og interesserede.En: The investors were impressed and interested.Da: På vej ud så Mikkel på sine venner.En: On the way out, Mikkel looked at his friends.Da: "I har ret," sagde han med et smil.En: "You are right," he said with a smile.Da: "Vi er stærkere sammen."En: "We are stronger together."Da: De forlod lokalet med nye muligheder foran sig, og Mikkel vidste, at deres rejse som team lige var begyndt.En: They left the room with new opportunities ahead of them, and Mikkel knew that their journey as a team had just begun.Da: Kastellet havde givet dem mere end blot en pause; det havde givet dem en ny måde at se verden på - og i Mikkels tilfælde, en ny måde at lede på.En: Kastellet had given them more than just a break; it had given them a new way to see the world—and in Mikkel's case, a new way to lead.

Transcript:Da: Solstråler skar gennem de store vinduer og malede mønstre af lys og skygge på de blanke træborde inde i kafferisteriet.En: Sunbeams cut through the large windows, painting patterns of light and shadow on the polished wooden tables inside the coffee roastery.Da: Den frygtige duft af friskmalet kaffe svævede i luften og blandede sig med lyden af dæmpede stemmer og klirrende porcelæn.En: The intense aroma of freshly ground coffee floated in the air, mingling with the sound of muted voices and clinking porcelain.Da: Mikkel sad alene ved et hjørnebord.En: Mikkel sat alone at a corner table.Da: Han var en stille og eftertænksom grafisk designer, som ofte fandt tilflugt i sin egen verden af farver og former.En: He was a quiet and contemplative graphic designer who often found refuge in his own world of colors and shapes.Da: Men denne dag var anderledes.En: But this day was different.Da: Han kiggede op og så en velkendt skikkelse træde ind ad døren.En: He looked up and saw a familiar figure stepping through the door.Da: Sanne, rejseskribenten med den livlige sjæl og uendelige nysgerrighed, trådte selvsikkert ind i rummet.En: Sanne, the travel writer with the lively spirit and endless curiosity, confidently entered the room.Da: Mikkel glemte et øjeblik alt omkring sig.En: Mikkel momentarily forgot everything around him.Da: De havde mistet kontakten efter en periode med misforståelser og travlhed, som livet nogle gange bringer med sig.En: They had lost touch after a period of misunderstandings and busyness, as life sometimes brings.Da: Sanne fik øje på ham og vinkede med et smil.En: Sanne spotted him and waved with a smile.Da: Hendes smil var varmt, som om ingen tid var gået.En: Her smile was warm, as if no time had passed.Da: Mikkel følte en blanding af glæde og nervøsitet, da han vinkede tilbage.En: Mikkel felt a mix of joy and nervousness as he waved back.Da: Han rejste sig op, og de mødtes i en let omfavnelse.En: He stood up, and they met in a light embrace.Da: "Det er længe siden, Mikkel," sagde Sanne med et glimt i øjet.En: "It's been a long time, Mikkel," Sanne said with a twinkle in her eye.Da: "Alt for længe," svarede Mikkel og kunne mærke sit hjerte banke hurtigere.En: "Far too long," replied Mikkel, feeling his heart beat faster.Da: "Vil du have en kop kaffe?En: "Would you like a cup of coffee?"Da: "De satte sig sammen ved bordet, og samtalen begyndte at flyde, som en velkommen brise på en varm dag.En: They sat together at the table, and the conversation began to flow like a welcome breeze on a warm day.Da: De talte om livet, rejser og de mange projekter, de begge havde kastet sig ud i.En: They talked about life, travels, and the many projects they had both embarked on.Da: Mikkel vidste, at hvis han nogensinde skulle nævne deres gamle drøm om at arbejde på et kreativt projekt sammen, var det nu.En: Mikkel knew that if he was ever going to mention their old dream of working on a creative project together, it was now.Da: Han tog en dyb indånding.En: He took a deep breath.Da: "Sanne," begyndte han tøvende, "har du nogensinde tænkt på vores gamle idé om at lave et projekt sammen?En: "Sanne," he began hesitantly, "have you ever thought about our old idea of doing a project together?Da: Jeg ved, vi har haft vores forskelle, men jeg har virkelig savnet det, vi havde.En: I know we've had our differences, but I've really missed what we had."Da: "Sanne så overrasket på ham, men hendes udtryk blødte hurtigt.En: Sanne looked surprised at him, but her expression quickly softened.Da: "Jeg har faktisk tænkt på dig og vores planer," indrømmede hun.En: "I have actually thought about you and our plans," she admitted.Da: "Jeg har savnet vores samarbejde.En: "I've missed our collaboration."Da: "Mikkel kunne næsten ikke tro sine ører.En: Mikkel could hardly believe his ears.Da: Hans tøven blev skyllet væk af lettelse og glæde.En: His hesitation was washed away by relief and joy.Da: De forsatte med at snakke og følte, at noget tabt blev fundet igen.En: They continued to talk, feeling that something lost had been found again.Da: De enedes om at mødes regelmæssigt for at brainstorme deres projekt over kaffe her i roasteriet.En: They agreed to meet regularly to brainstorm their project over coffee here in the roastery.Da: Som solen krøb langsomt ned mod horisonten og erstattede lyset med en blid skumring, følte Mikkel sig forandret.En: As the sun slowly crept down towards the horizon, replacing the light with a gentle twilight, Mikkel felt transformed.Da: Han havde vovet at være åben og ærlig, og det havde givet pote.En: He had dared to be open and honest, and it had paid off.Da: En gammel forbindelse var blevet genoprettet, og en ny begyndelse tog form.En: An old connection had been restored, and a new beginning was taking shape.Da: De blev de sidste tilbage i roasteriet, klingende kaffekopper og svage stemmer smeltede sammen med aftenens stilhed.En: They were the last ones left in the roastery, the clinking coffee cups and faint voices blending with the evening's silence.Da: Mikkel og Sanne rejste sig til sidst og begav sig ud i den friske forårsluft, begge fyldt med forventning og en genoplivet venskab.En: Mikkel and Sanne finally stood up and stepped out into the fresh spring air, both filled with expectation and a renewed friendship.

His almost adversarial take on Google in the early days set a tone and standard for how SEOs felt about working with the search engines in a friendly game of cat and mouse. Mikkel has continued practicing SEO while pursuing several other life passions, including a highly successful side-career as a potter and pottery instructor on YouTube where he has a popular channel. He has also released a massive and highly comprehensive SEO Master Course.

glances.Da: Manden gik rundt i lokalet, studerede kunstværkerne og de fremmødte.En: The man walked around the room, studying the artworks and the attendees.Da: Til sidst vendte han sig mod Freja.En:

creativity.Da: Lad os se, hvad jeg kan gøre for at hjælpe jer med at fremme jeres udstilling."En: Let's see what I can do to help you promote your exhibition."Da: Freja åndede lettet op.En: Freja breathed a sigh of relief.Da: Hendes mod havde båret frugt, og hun havde lært noget nyt om sig selv.En: Her courage had paid off, and she had learned something new about herself.Da: Hun kunne nu nemmere tale med dem, der kunne hjælpe hende videre.En: She could now more easily talk to those who could help her move forward.Da: Med ejeren på deres side blev udstillingen et hit, og Freja fik den anerkendelse, hun havde drømt om.En: With the owner on their side, the exhibition became a hit, and Freja received the recognition she had dreamed of.Da: Det var en aften fyldt med kunst, latter og en

sig selv voksede, og der, i skyggerne af den rustikke lagerbygning, tog hendes karriere et nyt skridt fremad.En: Freja's confidence in herself grew, and there, in the shadows of the rustic warehouse, her career took a new step forward.

Andreas Steno Larsen, founder and CEO of Steno Research, is back with his co-host Mikkel Rosenvold, the firm's partner and head of geopolitics, to make some sense of the latest news and trends moving driving global markets on this live edition of Macro Mondays.

Kan iværksætterne redde Vesten? Måske det ikke er statskundskabens klassiske værker, vi må gå til, for at forstå Vesten politisk i dag. Måske det i virkeligheden er Silicon Valleys lingo og iværksætternes magt, man bør studere, hvis vi skal forstå Elon Musks alliance med Trump eller Bruxelles' ønske om innovation i Europa. I denne udgave af RÆSONs nye podcast Lille Land, Hvorhen? taler Mikkel Vedby Rasmussen med Anders Theis Bolman, ph.d. studerende på CBS, om, hvordan Silicon Valleys iværksætterparadigme påvirker de vigtigste beslutninger i Vesten. Ejer nørderne fremtiden? I 25 år har professor Mikkel Vedby Rasmussen arbejdet med dansk udenrigspolitik, og i RÆSONs nye podcast – Lille Land, Hvorhen? – stiller han spørgsmålet: Hvor meget står tilbage?

en familiehemmelighed, der havde været gemt af frygt for misforståelse.En: Their discussion became intense, but eventually Lars opened up about the truth—a family secret that had been hidden out of fear of misunderstanding.Da: Freja lyttede med tårer i øjnene, hendes forståelse for familien voksede med hver sætning, Lars delte.En: Freja listened with tears in her eyes, her understanding of the family growing with each sentence Lars shared.Da: Da de endelig rejste sig fra bordet, følte Freja en varm forbindelse til både sin historie og til Lars.En: When they finally rose from the table, Freja felt a warm connection to both her history and to Lars.Da: "Tak," hviskede hun, da de sagde farvel.En: "Thank you," she whispered as they said goodbye.Da: Den gamle bys liv kogte videre omkring dem, men Frejas verden var blevet dybere og rigere.En: The old city's life continued to bustle around them, but Freja's world had become deeper and richer.Da: Med et nyt perspektiv på sin families arv gik Freja tilbage gennem markedet.En: With a new perspective on her family's legacy, Freja walked back through the market.Da: Påskens farverige glæde virkede nu som en passende kulisse for den fornyede fred, hun havde fundet.En: Easter's colorful joy now seemed like an appropriate backdrop for the renewed peace she had found.

Transcript:Da: I en verden der engang var fyldt med liv og lyde, herskede der nu stilhed og ruiner.En: In a world that was once filled with life and sounds, there now ruled silence and ruins.Da: Vågnede foråret stille til live mens solens lys trængte sig vej gennem de mørke skyer.En: Spring quietly came to life as the sunlight pushed its way through the dark clouds.Da: Desværre var ikke alt nyttigt.En: Unfortunately, not everything was useful.Da: Ruinerne strakte sig over den forladte by, med visne blomster, der nænnede at blomstre mellem sprækkerne i asfalten.En: The ruins stretched across the abandoned city, with wilted flowers daring to bloom between the cracks in the asphalt.Da: En gammel skole lyste svagt op ved kanten af byen.En: An old school faintly lit up on the edge of the city.Da: Her begyndte Kasper sin daglige rute, men denne gang, med en plan i tankerne.En: Here, Kasper began his daily routine, but this time, with a plan in mind.Da: Han gabte ved synet af biblioteket, skjult bag slyngplanterne.En: He yawned at the sight of the library, hidden behind the climbing plants.Da: Skolen lignede et tilflugtssted fra en glemt tid.En: The school looked like a refuge from a forgotten time.Da: Med sin lillebror Mikkel ved sin side, gik de fast fremad.En: With his little brother Mikkel by his side, they moved steadily forward.Da: Verden udenfor var farlig, men indenfor de mure lå et håb om en ny begyndelse.En: The world outside was dangerous, but within those walls lay a hope for a new beginning.Da: Freja, den livlige og evigt optimistiske leder, havde allerede fundet vej derhen.En: Freja, the lively and ever-optimistic leader, had already found her way there.Da: "Godt at se jer!"En: "Good to see you!"Da: råbte hun over de knirkende gulvbrædder.En: she shouted over the creaking floorboards.Da: Hendes blå øjne glimtede med energi.En: Her blue eyes sparkled with energy.Da: Hun havde noget i ærmet, noget der kunne skabe en lille ø af normalitet i det kaos, der omgav dem.En: She had something up her sleeve, something that could create a small island of normality in the chaos surrounding them.Da: "Vi starter en skole her," sagde Kasper bestemt og kiggede mod Mikkel, der allerede sad og kiggede i en fortryllende bog om dyrenes verden.En: "We're starting a school here," Kasper said firmly, looking at Mikkel, who was already sitting and looking in an enchanting book about the animal world.Da: Freja nikkede ivrigt igen, klar til at hjælpe.En: Freja eagerly nodded again, ready to help.Da: "Vi kan bruge bøgerne her.En: "We can use the books here.Da: Og se, der er endda tavler!"En: And look, there are even chalkboards!"Da: tilføjede Freja, mens hun pegede mod de støvede, gamle skiferplader.En: added Freja, as she pointed to the dusty old slate boards.Da: Men idyllen blev hurtigt truet.En: But the idyll was quickly threatened.Da: En skælven gik gennem bygningen, og et par vinduer klirrede.En: A tremor went through the building, and a few windows rattled.Da: Udenfor, lød der råb og tumult.En: Outside, there were shouts and upheaval.Da: En gruppe raiders nærmede sig, ivrige efter at stjæle, hvad de kunne finde.En: A group of raiders approached, eager to steal whatever they could find.Da: Kasper vidste, han skulle handle hurtigt.En: Kasper knew he had to act quickly.Da: Freja greb straks en jernstang, mens Kasper sikrede dørene.En: Freja immediately grabbed an iron rod while Kasper secured the doors.Da: Mikkel blev skjult i et gammelt garderobeskab.En: Mikkel was hidden in an old wardrobe.Da: Raiderne bragede mod dørene, men hverken Kasper eller Freja bøjede sig for frygten.En: The raiders pounded against the doors, but neither Kasper nor Freja yielded to fear.Da: I stedet vinkede de til deres medborgere i skjul, der svarede med at fremkomme fra deres gemmesteder og sammen møde truslen.En: Instead, they gestured to their fellow citizens in hiding, who responded by emerging from their hiding places to confront the threat together.Da: De arbejdede i fællesskab, forsvarede skolen og hinanden.En: They worked collectively, defending the school and one another.Da: Med muskelkraft og mod tvang de raiderne til retræte.En: With muscle and courage, they forced the raiders to retreat.Da: Kasper, der nu indså vigtigheden af samarbejde, indså også betydningen af at stole på andre.En: Kasper, now realizing the importance of cooperation, also understood the significance of trusting others.Da: Sammen kunne de genopbygge noget meningsfuldt i en verden, hvor alt andet syntes tabt.En: Together, they could rebuild something meaningful in a world where everything else seemed lost.Da: Da truslen var forsvundet, samledes de alle omkring den lille skole, hvor døre og vinduer blev repareret, bøger blev delt, og inspirerende læring fandt sted igen.En: When the threat had disappeared, they all gathered around the small school, where doors and windows were repaired, books were shared, and inspiring learning took place once again.Da: Mikkel smilede op til sin bror.En: Mikkel smiled up at his brother.Da: "Skal vi lære om påsken nu?"En: "Shall we learn about påsken now?"Da: spurgte han ivrigt.En: he asked eagerly.Da: Kasper nikkede varmt, mens Freja fandt en bog om traditionerne omkring helligdagen.En: Kasper nodded warmly, while Freja found a book about the traditions surrounding the holiday.Da: Den lille skole blev et lys i mørket, et fristed for dem, der havde brug for det.En: The little school became a light in the darkness, a sanctuary for those who needed it.Da: Og for Kasper og Freja blev det symbolet på noget uundgåeligt løfterigt – en ny begyndelse i forårssolen.En: And for Kasper and Freja, it became the symbol of something inevitably promising—a new beginning in the spring sunshine.
