This guided photography tour invites you to explore the area’s bold and diverse architecture while experimenting with how you capture space, form, and light. Whether you’re an experienced photographer or just curious, this tour offers a fresh way to engage with the city.

Nordhavn is one of Copenhagen’s most ambitious urban development projects – a former industrial port area transformed into a vibrant waterfront district. Once filled with silos, shipyards, and warehouses, the area now stands as a leading example of sustainable city planning and contemporary architecture.

Designed with the 5-minute city principle, Nordhavn integrates housing, workspaces, public transit, and green areas within short walking distances. Its layered identity makes it a uniquely rich environment to explore, reflect on, and photograph.

From Accent to Impact

Navigating language, culture, and career as an international professional

Building a career in Denmark as an international is about more than having the right CV or qualifications.

It’s about understanding culture, navigating language, and learning how to show up with confidence — without losing yourself along the way.

From Accent to Impact is an evening event created for international professionals who want real insight, honest stories, and a practical perspective on what it actually takes to succeed in the Danish job market and workplace.

Through two live interviews with inspiring women, you’ll hear firsthand experiences about culture, language, leadership, and career growth, followed by time to connect with others on a similar journey.

What to expect

This is a conversation-based event.

You’ll experience:

• Two live interviews with accomplished women working at the intersection of culture, language, leadership, and international careers

• Honest reflections on challenges, mistakes, and turning points

• Space for audience questions (submitted in advance and during the event)

• Time to network with other international professionals in a relaxed setting

Whether you’re actively job searching, newly hired, or already established in Denmark, this event is designed to leave you with clarity, confidence, and renewed motivation.
