DANISH LIVING CRASH
COURSE
- Hard facts and soft features about Denmark and the Danes
THE PURPOSE OF THE COURSE:
Is to prepare foreigners for what to expect from Danes, - both at
work and in social settings. The course enables the participant to
crack the cultural code and become familiar with the ‘cultural
grammar’ of the Danes through an introduction to Danish society,
history, working culture and life in Denmark in general.
With the new knowledge, the participants can place themselves
several steps ahead in the sometimes-troubled transition to life in
Denmark and thus avoid the most common setbacks for successful
adaptation and pitfalls for professional performance.
Even though this is a group course, the participants leave the
course with a personal action plan, defining near-future actions for
getting the best out of their stay in Denmark.
