Overview of your Copenhagen tour:

Is Denmark the "socialist" country as it is being portrayed in US Presidential campaigns? Denmark is mentioned in American politics as a model for politicians like Bernie Sanders, or as a scare for others. But how does the Danish system really work? Are we socialists? Capitalists? On this tour, you will get a deep understanding of how Danish society and the political system work. It is a custom-designed tour so you could be deep into politics yourself, or travel with children whom you would like to expose to another way of life, and how to build a society. As your guide, I have a great interest and personal experience of how Denmark works. I have worked for six years as a "bureaucrat" at the Copenhagen City Hall (local political level), three years for the national government in the Ministry of Integration, and for a while at the University of Copenhagen. I love to discuss both the good and bad sides of Danish society, and I often do so when I teach Danish culture and society to newcomers to Denmark.
