My name\u2019s Anne Fox and this show is coming to you from Denmark.<br \/>\n<!--more--><strong>absolutely free<\/strong><br \/>\nSo let\u2019s start with that free land and hear what <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rufford.org\/projects\/diana_solovyeva\" target=\"_blank\">Diana Solovyova<\/a>\u00a0of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibpn.ru\/en\/history\" target=\"_blank\">Institute of the Biological Problems of the North<\/a>,\u00a0originally from St Petersburg in Russia, thinks of the offer as we go absolutely free.\u00a0Remember that you have to be a Russian citizen to take advantage of that offer!<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely sanctioned<\/strong><br \/>\nDiana was staying with us for a while in Denmark and I began to notice that she was very interested in French cheese and in this segment, we find out why there is no French cheese in Russian shops at the moment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely overheard<\/strong><br \/>\nWe have featured <a href=\"http:\/\/georgesimons.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">George Simons<\/a> and his <a href=\"http:\/\/diversophy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Diversophy<\/a> game on the podcast, a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/?p=3514\" target=\"_blank\">couple <\/a>of times now, the last time to explore the special editions he is creating to help migrants and locals understand each other better. Your correspondant, ie me, has taken on the job of creating a version for Denmark, together with <a href=\"https:\/\/culturewise.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Line Mark Rugholt<\/a>. What exactly does that entail? Well first of all we build on existing country packs but unfortunately there is no existing Denmark pack so we have to build that first. And as we keep emphasising here on Absolutely Intercultural, nationality is not a good predictor of culture, but you have to start somewhere. So listen in as we talk with George and his intern about how much overlap there could be between the Swedish and Danish games, where his Finnish students, who developed the original migrant pack, are testing the game now and how the Danish team is getting their information for the migrant cards. So let\u2019s go absolutely overheard and eavesdrop on part of the meeting where I started by explaining how much overlap we had found between the Swedish pack and what we would need in a Danish pack. So watch out for a Danish deck that will be available shortly in the Diversophy series and I hope we will be able to use the new migrant pack for Denmark to foster understanding between locals and new migrants within the next few months. When we do I\u2019ll be reporting on that for the podcast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely impossible<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019m tempted to call this next segment Mission Impossible. Diana Solovyova, who we met in the first segment, was approached to do some field work in North Korea. Diana is an ornithologist and in her research into the very rare Scaly-sided merganser duck, needs to go out identifying where the birds are, and mapping their location. Let\u2019s see why this turned into Mission Impossible.<br \/>\nIt was great to hear that there might be a good solution at the end.<\/p>\n<p>As well as this\u00a0website we also have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AbsolutelyIntercultural\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook page<\/a> of the same name.
