“The themes of the supported projects range widely from volunteerism and new forms of associations in Venligboerne [organisation for integration of newcomers in Denmark] to [research into] medieval meals, DIY work as a cultural practice and muscle fatigue during intensive training,” stated the culture minister, Bertel Haarder.
