Dear Members of Expat in Denmark
We hope this newsletter finds you well after the summer holidays.
At the Expat in Denmark office we are already busy planning the fall. Events will include professional network events, seminars and socials as always, and we'll be joined by some inspiring people along the way.
We are also planning upcoming Global Cross Match, and we hope you'll help us attract as many Danes and Expats possible for these events.
For now we'll let you enjoy the autumn atmosphere. Should you be in doubt of what to do in Denmark, we've gathered a few suggestions in this newsletter, which we hope you'll like.
Best regards,
Expat in Denmark

Expat in Denmark: Global Cross Match Copenhagen
Global Cross Match is a networking event designed to create networks between Danes and Expats. Now in its third year, Expat in Denmark and Hjemvendte.dk invites you to join us for Global Cross Match, an event which brings many people together for one evening of networking and experience sharing between Danes & Expats.
The purpose of the meeting is to give you the opportunity to expand your cross-cultural social & professional network, sharing your knowledge and experiences with other Expats and Danes, many of whom have lived abroad themselves.
We'll guide you through meeting Danes and Expats alike through a one-hour session, in a speed networking format.
Thereafter there is plenty of time for further networking with the Danes and Expats you have met in the fantastic surroundings of Nyhavn, where Custom House is located.

Networking Event for Danes and Internationals in Aarhus
Do you want to enhance your social and professional networking?
This is a great opportunity! We will bring you an informal experience with local and international people. All this will take place in the neutral environment of Aarhus main library.
For internationals, at this event you will hear from repatriate Danes about what they have done to integrate to other societies while they were living abroad. They will also give you tips on how to overcome the cultural barriers.
For Danes, if you have plans to work abroad or if you have interest for traveling, this is a great opportunity to meet internationals. This could be a window for you to get to know different cultures while you are in Denmark. Learn more about this event here!

Are you an Expat living in Copenhagen and do you want to learn more about the Danish culture, society - anthropology and ethnography, why the Danes are the way they are and immigration law in an educative but less official atmosphere?
Then this might be of interest to you.
Folkeuniversitetet is an adult education institution which runs courses on all branches of knowledge within the sciences and the humanities for all those who wish to learn something new. There are no admission requirements and no exams. More than 600 courses are offered every year on all university disciplines.
As an innovation, Copenhagen Folkeuniversitetet in cooperation with Expat in Denmark has developed 3 series of lectures in English which are aimed at those expats whose Danish is not good enough for them to attend courses in Danish. The lectures are: Danish Society, Anthropology and Ethnography - Why Are the Danes the Way They Are? and Immigration Law.
