What to do to fit in? How do you communicate effectively with Danes? Is it worth learning Danish? What are the major cultural differences? If you want to find out, then please consider joining us on 16th of August for an engaging panel discussion.

Embark on a transformative journey of living and working in Denmark as an international, enriched with valuable insights. Join our panel debate to explore the keys to thriving and enjoying a fulfilling life while navigating your new environment.

NEWCOMERS' INFO EVENING

Join a Newcomers' Info Evening specially tailored to all international professionals and accompanying partners new to Aarhus. Internationals who do not live in Aarhus are also very welcome to join. Some of the services mentioned in this event will only be relevant for newcomers to Aarhus, but a great deal of the information given is valuable independent of where you live.

Newcomers' Info Evening is dedicated to giving you a head start on life in Aarhus and Denmark and we will do our very best to guide you on:

• The practical stuff - including "the digital Denmark", “need-to-know websites” "who can help you find a job?"

• Tips and guidance on how to build a social network with Danes and other internationals

• Understanding Danish culture, social norms, and values

The event will be held as a hybrid event meaning that you can join us physically at Dokk1, where you will meet other newcomers and enjoy a light refreshment, or you can join the event as a live stream (via Teams) if you haven't relocated to Denmark yet or wish to join from home. The event is free to attend but sign-up is mandatory. Please sign up for each person separately.
