Good weather for sitting on sofas!

Heavenly Days
May 5-8; various locations; himmelskedage.dk

Heavenly Days is an ambitious project aimed at exploring the role of faith in our future society.

The focus is on open dialogue for believers and non-believers with hundreds of events in and around the churches of Copenhagen: everything from debates and workshops to concerts and exhibitions.

The DJ event ‘God goes Deep’ at Vor Frue Church on Friday night is just one example of how Danish churches are used to opening their doors to new experiences.

For those more into dialogue, random sofas in the squares of Copenhagen invite you to sit down and chat with the sofa hosts. Check out the program on the website.
