Dinamarca

Donde las cosas más simples de la vida son más importante

Ver Programas

Dinamarca consiste en una península y más de 400 islas en el Mar del Norte. Un puente entre Escandinavia y Europa continental, Este amigable país nórdico es influenciado por modernas y cosmopolitas ciudades: sencillo, con arquitectura histórica influenciada por tradiciones nórdicas y pueblos de cuentos de hadas con mercados de pueblo,  iglesias rurales y castillos. El país llano, con páramos, lagos, tierras de cultivo y bosques, y las calles peatonales libres de tráfico son ideales para montar en bicicleta o charlar con los amigos en un café. Los daneses valoran su espacio personal y aman estar cómodos, siguiendo el concepto de hygge.

Los fines de semanas para los jóvenes usualmente significan fiestas, ir a los cafés y al cine. También el fútbol es muy popular, sin perderse de la natación, navegar o remos ya que se encuentran a una hora de distancia de la orilla de la costa.

Host Family & Community

You can live anywhere in Denmark, including Greenland and Faroe Islands, however, you will likely be in a rural or suburban area. Danish towns are close together and you can comfortably rely on the public transportation system. Families in Denmark are very close and most prefer to cook dinner at home together every night. Follow the lead of your host siblings: Be independent, do your homework and help out around the house on your own.

School

You’ll either attend the first or second year of gymnasium (a university preparatory high school), or folkeskole for students between 6 and 16 years old. School runs from August through June, Monday to Friday (8 am to 3 pm). You will probably have five or six mandatory subjects and one ortwo electives, in addition to  Danish language classes throughout the year. Schools and community organizations offer extracurricular activities: sports, music, crafts, drama or scouting clubs.

I'm definitely gonna miss this squad ??

Language

The main language spoken is Danish, while Faroese, Greenlandic and German are also recognized as official regionally. Danish people tend to be quite proficient in English, so a basic knowledge of English will be helpful. AFS will help you find language courses in the first few months or provide you with materials to learn the language on your own before going on your exchange.

Food

Danish food includes a wide variety of meats and vegetables. Danish lunch is a traditional open-faced sandwich, called smorrebrod. Dinner is usually the main meal and typically a time for the whole family to gather and talk about their days. Danish people enjoy pickled herring and salted black licorice.
