Chapter 2: Family Schedule and the dream of becoming a football star
This is Little Per’s Family’s Monday schedule as it would come to be, if Per joins the “Little Talents” football team. but only if he gets there without his mom driving him.
Little Per’s problem?
Little Per loves football and dream of becoming a football star! A professional player once watched him play and told his mom: “He has the talent”. He really should join the “Little Talents” – he has great chances of being talent spotted and come to one of the big clubs, if he plays in the “Little League”. But for that he must train every Monday Wednesday and Friday.
But how can he get to football training at 17:30?
And back home at 19:30?

Chapter 3 The Driving Friends App
Per’s mom says that if he can get to and from training by himself, she will allow him to join the Little talents, but Per must find a solution himself.
He has a bike, so he can cycle, but it is far and can be dangerous too. So that is not a good solution.
He also try to find others on the team he can drive with, but he doesn’t know the other players and where they live. But then he finds and watch a “Cooofle Driving Friends” video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Jq1vcMzt6c
He can’t find the App but he REALLY wants to join the “Little Talents”, so he Google more, and starts collecting newspaper articles and other things about this “Coofle” App. Amongst the things he find is a Danish project called “Ung Landsbylift” (Young Villagelift) that mentions the Coofle App and he finds a Coofle VIP club member questionnaire for 13 to 17 year olds, but unfortunately everything is in Danish, so he can’t read it.
You can see what Per has collected until now here. You don’t need to read it now, it will come in later chapters.
