The new Europe is an exciting place in which to live and work. Each of its rich cultures remains vibrant and strong and interestingly different. At the same time, memberships in the European Union, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, the United Nations,--as well as participation in the global marketplace--have brought about changes in the mentality of Europe's citizens and a realisation that they must move forward together to solve common problems and to compete successfully.

Denmark is an especially interesting place in which to study issues of nationalism, transnationalism and globalisation, international communication and international advertising, and expressions of cultural identity. This small country is Europe's oldest democracy and one of its earliest traders. Its citizens speak English well, support the arts, and are generally well-informed about international affairs. Denmark's central location allows them to travel easily throughout Europe. Denmark is also an active member of the European Union, and it has forged especially close ties with the Baltic States and central European countries.

We would like to invite you to join the international environment, which this Programme seeks to create, and we hope that you will benefit from your stay.
