Dear all,      
 
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉🎆
 
I hope you all made it into 2025 safely and well. 
 
January is here - a slow starting month, time to plan the new year. And often time to create hygge inside, as the Danish weather is already showing its grey side this time of year. 
 
HOWEVER, if you like to get out of the house, there are a few English events planned for the first month of the year - find them below. 
   
Remember you can also find events at vejle.dk/detsker and welcometovejle/leisuretime. 
 
ENJOY! 
 
Kind Regards Louise

Celebration of Danish poet Inger Christensen's 90th bithday

Inger Christensen was a famous Danish Poet - orginally from Vejle. On January 16th she would have turned 90! 
 
This calls for a celebration - INCLUDING reading of some of her poems in their translated form. On the 16th you can join this reading by your fellow expats, maybe even in your language (the international part is from 7.20pm).
 
All happening at Spinderihallerne - see you there? 
 
 
Program: 
 
6:30: Opening speech by Dan Arnløv Jørgensen, Chairman of the Culture & Sports Committee, Vejle Municipality.
6:35: "Nature Exists" – World Premiere. Lyrical video work by artist-photographer Britta Egebjerg and newly composed music by composer and pianist Nicky Bendix. Inger Christensen's view of nature is interpreted in this interdisciplinary and aesthetic work as a sensory walk through Inger Christensen's childhood landscape and artistic mind.
7:00: Poetry reading, part 1. 15 local residents of Vejle each read a sonnet from "The Butterfly Valley." The reading symbolizes the poet's connection to Vejle and that her words are still with us.
7:20: Poetry reading, part 2. Inger Christensen's poems have been translated into over 30 languages. Selected poems will be read in various languages by people from the countries where the works have been published. The readings symbolize the author’s own travels around the world, where she read her poems aloud.
