Summer Greetings from
The Connect Club
☀️⛱️😎

Dear Connect Club members,

Firstly we want to wish you a pleasant summer.

Secondly we want to take a moment to send you our warmest greetings.

This past six months has been filled with memorable moments – from insightful tours and lively discussions to unique cultural encounters. Thanks to your enthusiasm and presence, Connect Club has grown into a vibrant hub of international exchange and community spirit.

We’ve heard from many of you about how the Club has helped build connections and deepen understanding of life in Denmark. One member noted how “meeting people going through the same thing helps a lot”, especially during colder and lonelier times. Others shared that “guided tours offered a whole new perspective, even on familiar places”, and “the energy of the group felt truly engaging.”

Whether through social events, political talks or museum visits, Connect Club has created spaces where internationals can connect, learn, and grow. As one member put it, “Connect Club helps you understand the city, its people, and traditions – and grows your network faster than you might imagine.”

We’re currently putting together an exciting programme for the autumn, which will include visits to more town halls, museums, and other cultural landmarks.

Stay tuned – there’s much more to come!

To keep Connect Club free and accessible to all, we kindly encourage you to support us.

If you’re not already a subscriber to The Copenhagen Post, please consider signing up.

Every contribution helps us continue building this unique community.

And finally, if you’ve enjoyed being part of Connect Club, we’d love for you to share your experiences with fellow internationals who might benefit from joining.

And as always, please feel free to reach out to us at connectclub@cphpost.dk or +4571749394.

Thank you for being part of our journey.

Warm summer wishes
