Communal morning singing is a cherished tradition in Denmark and we hope you will join us for a song or two to start the day!

We sing some known songs in English that are to be found in ”Højskolesangbogen” and you will also learn the first verse of the most famous Danish song ”Jeg ved en lærkerede”.

Højskolesangbogen is a book and collection of songs Danes sing together from in many occasions - to start the working day, the new day in school, to celebrate, to start a meeting, to sing at a wedding, funeral… Actually it goes with all moods and occasions. To sing is to live!

Working with other cultures can be difficult but also highly beneficial if you know how. And cultural difference can have a huge impact in business and challenges our ideas about everything from leadership, decision making and team collaboration. In a Danish working environment these “cultural shocks” are definitely visible and significant. Maybe even more so. In the social sciences it’s not a new thing that Denmark and the rest of Scandinavia are significantly culturally different from a lot of other places in the world. You can’t find a country with more general trust, less religiosity, a greater emphasis on equality but also a significant tendency to social reclusiveness and much more. But why are they so different and how do you crack the code of the Danish society?
