Spring Reception - May 13th
On May 13th you are invited to join this year’s International Spring Reception in Vejle, where Anatolie Cantir will be speaker of the evening.
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'
Danish culture is a bit like sitting around a campfire.
This campfire could be anything from the daily tasks at work to the larger welfare state. The members around this fire warm themselves with feelings of (extreme) equality, trust, homogeneity, tolerance, informality, privacy, sarcasm, irony, and dark humor.
But what could all these mean to internationals who come to work in Denmark and want to join this circle?
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.
