This past Sunday, International House organised a tour in order to celebrate the Kulturhavn festival. Families from Germany, Italy, Brazil, the United States and China attended to spend a beautiful summer’s day outdoors. The tour departed from Islands Brygge by the harbour, where five of the men were taught how to navigate the Go Boat through the canals before departing on the adventure! After the one-hour tour ride, families were introduced to Danish skipping ropes, craft making and face painting for the little ones.

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