What better way to observe the day of rest than by hanging out with Søndagsvenner (Sunday friends), a non-profit organisation creating open air events every Sunday during the summer?
Sure, the sofa might be beckoning you following that wild night out with your Saturday friends, but you owe it to yourself to resist the temptation and head outside for a day of music, food, drink, kids playing, swimming and other activities.
The music will satisfy both those nursing their hangovers and those who just can’t sit still to a beat.

    Internationals in Denmark rarely join a trade union

    Internationals are overrepresented in the lowest-paid fields of agriculture, transport, cleaning, hotels and restaurants, and construction – industries that classically lack collective agreements.
