1. When did you get in touch with Active for the first time? 

In Copenhagen 1990, there was IOGT World Congress and a youth camp. There wasn´t Active/Egtyf camp yet. Egtyf has founded there. 

2. What was the best Active experience that you had so far?

I really can´t say just one moment, there is so many nice and memorable moments in 20 years. I could say five best weeks which I have spend with Active people (I even can´t choose only one week): Summer camps in Estonia 2001 and in Norway 2002, seminars in Lithuania 2002 and in Sarajevo 2003 and my first Winter camp in Germany 2000-2001.

3. Which Active’s events have you attended? 

Hmmm, I think I have to count little bit…. 16 Summer camps, 5 seminars and 5 Winter camps in Germany (which has been half Active camps ;) )

4. Why don’t you drink? 

Why should I drink? I don´t need any alcohol, I have fun without it. I want to know what I do and remember it on next day too. I want to keep fun without bad feelings on next morning/day. I´m never interested about alcohol or drugs. 

5. Describe Active in five words! 

Friends forever, fun, camps, seminars
