Nyt fra Vejle Kommune
 
Dear all,   
 
April is here in a few days - and starting out with Easter Vacation for many Danes. However still some fun going on during the first week of April and a few events this week to end off March! 
 
Remember Easter means many things close down, including some supermarkets from the 6th - 10th (both included). NOTE Saturday the 8th is a regular day. Check the website of the place you would like to go :). 
  
You can also check out Det sker to get the full picture of things happening in Vejle Municipality.

The Cultural meeting between different health understandings! April 13th

 

Moving to another country than your own is vulnerable, lots of new ways, traditions and culture. When it comes to healthcare we know that the "Danish way" differs quite a bit from other countries.

On April 13th at 17.00-20-00 (5-8pm) Nadia El-Gendi from “På Tværs” will help us learn how to understand doctors in Denmark, whilst taking us on a journey in different cultural worldviews.

What is illness? What is considered treatment? How is the connection between mind and body perceived?

The workshop is free of charge - but you have to sign up.

Concerts at Engelsholm in April

 

Naja Rose: Wednesday 19 April at 19.30 in Agerumsladen.

Naja Rosa's soulful voice takes the listener on a hypnotic journey through alluring twilight pop with a twist of the 60s west coast sound and cinematic landscapes. Now she travels around the country with her eminent band (Una Skott, Sofia Hedia, Frank Hasselstrøm and Anders Holm), and takes the audience on a magical journey.

Naja Rosa Koppel has had music in her blood ever since she was born as the daughter of Annisette and Thomas Koppel and their legendary orchestra Savage Rose, and for the last several years she has also toured as a permanent member of the orchestra.

But Naja Rosa is also an excellent singer and songwriter in her own name and has so far released several award-winning albums.
