You will be trained in expressing themselves – verbally and in writing – and in analyzing problems in Danish society and current debates. The teaching is conducted in Danish but will be differentiated according to the student’s mastery of the Danish language. The texts used are chosen to bring insight to and understanding of the Danish culture and society.
During the field trips the participants will visit different institutions and communities in Denmark. One field trip will go to Copenhagen and include visits to important places to the Danish society.
