About me:
- Without volunteer coaches, I would not have become who I am today.
- Voluntary associations provided me with training, support and a sense of responsibility, and I wouldn’t have been where I am now without them.
My name is Soren Guldberg Kjer, and I was raised and still live in Bramming, Denmark.
Born on July 1, 1979, attended primary school, efterskole and højskole. Qualified carpenter in 2001 and today works as a janitor at Gredstedbro school with approx. 320 students.
It started with my mother who was a volunteer instructor at Bramming IF Gymnastics.
She dragged me along to parent-child gymnastics in 1982 and my father dragged me on to football and handball, it also led to several seasons in swimming . This is how my character was built, from childhood through adolescence, and made me the person I am today, fulfilled through various voluntary projects:
- Street Gymnast International
- Street Handball International
- Outdoor Handball
- Handball Revolution
- Street Sport Day Bramming
And especially
- #fairsosworld

About: A folk high school is a non-formal residential school offering learning opportunities in almost any subject. Most students are between 18 and 24 years old and the length of a typical stay is 4 months. It is a boarding school, so you sleep, eat, study and spend your spare time at the school. There are no academic requirements for admittance, and there are no exams – but you will get a diploma as a proof of your attendance. Read more here>>

Profile of the week – Series 2 Men
Name: Søren Kjær
Nickname: Pip
Age: 21 years
Height: 185 cm
Weight: 83 kg
Position: Playmaker/line
Strengths: Søren is among the best defenders in the club, and especially
his blockings are excellent. His abilities in defense are primarily due to his
good overview, which also benefits him in the attacking. He distributes
well to his co-players and sets quite a few things in motion. He also has good
shots form a standing position that provide quite a few goals during the season. Søren is also a skilled lines player, and despite his young age, he is not afraid to take responsibility when it pressure is on.
Weaknesses: Søren can sometimes lose patience in the attack.
