Anne Fox :: Blog :: 3D College Denmark

April 20, 2007

I am often amazed at the number of educational institutions in this small town of 14,000 people. We have our business college, a technical school which is in fact part of our institution. There is also a grammar school, a teacher training institution, a football college, a fishing college (short-lived and now defunct), a nature college, a spiritual growth college, various general adult training institutions, a gym college and I have probably forgotten a couple.

This morning our weekly meeting took place at 3D college Denmark which is yet another constituent part of our institution and yet just across the road. It seems to be a very intense training experience with students living and studying in the same place and coming from all over Denmark to do so. Inevitably the students are mostly male (in fact 100% male this year) but efforts are being made to attract more girls to this very creative course. The college is unique in Denmark with an intake of mainly 16-19 year olds. 3D animation is a growing market and we were told today that one Danish animation company recently needed 50 new staff to fulfil a project and could only source about 4 people from within Denmark. So the graduates of this course should be assured of a profitable future. There are some examples of the students' work on the website but I couldn't find a way of embedding them here however and I also found a couple of videos made by staff at the 3D college which give you an impression of Grenaa!
