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. • • • • • Dr. Barbara Mozalzierz, participant at Danish Living Crash Course Infobox CONTENT: • • ‘I found it insightful intellectually challenging, utterly useful and great fun’ _________________ What is culture and why does it matter?
