Dear all,      
 
April is here in a few days - and with it Easter and hopefully more Spring! 
 
Note that April 14th - 21st (both days included) is Easter vacation for the schools and therefore many Danes also take the week off. 
 
Monday-Wednesday (14th-16th) and Saturday (19th) are regular days - the rest are public holidays - so keep an eye out for other opening hours at the supermarkets and if you are part of a sports club you most likely will not meet during this week. 
 
This time I have also added some May events, to make sure you see them before they are fully booked. 
  
Remember you can also find events at vejle.dk/detsker + welcometovejle/leisuretime and Spinderihallernes event page
 
ENJOY! 
 
Kind Regards Louise

Vejle Spring Reception - May 13th

 

For this year's Spring Reception, we have invited Anatolie Cantir to give a talk titled Danish Culture is an ‘Extreme’, based on his book of the same name.

Danish Culture is an ‘Extreme’ is a two-hour lecture, which paints a certain picture of the Danish mentality and its implicit expectations.

The lecture draws from existing sociocultural, anthropological, and historical work on Danes and Denmark.

It is a humorous, serious, and provocative lecture that battles through decoding known Danish values by finding out how they play out in real life - and, not least, what they could mean to international employees and… Danes.

Participation is free of charge, but you have to sign up (so we know how much food to prepare).
