On Sept. 10th, five very preliminary student groups were formed in Copenhagen. The groups have a (very) rough idea of the kind of theme and place they would want to write about. All groups, except one, consist of only two people. Lithuanian students will join the groups as soon as they are ready, and they may influence not only the theme, but also the place in which the (fictive) field project will be carried out.

On Sept. 12th, two more students showed up, and a sixth group was made. Group 5 was left with only one person, which is acceptible, since that person is doing preliminary work on what he hopes will be his actual fieldwork project.

On Sept. 13th, three students from Vilnius have been added to the list. Their names are written in red. One of these has started her own group (nr. 7). Anyone who wants to join her, can do so by sending an email to: finn.sivert.nielsen@anthro.ku.dk

On Sept. 19th, the first preliminar projects descriptions have started coming in. These will be posted on separate pages for each group. To see the descriptions, go the group below, and click on the link. Groups that have dellivered preliminary project descriptions have their names marked in bold.
