$Living Danishly \u2013 with Helen Russell$

Denmark is regularly voted among the happiest nations on Earth, so what’s its secret? Given the opportunity of a new life in rural Jutland, Helen Russell wanted to find out. Could beer, bacon, pastries and a comprehensive welfare safety net along with sky high trust levels really make even a jaded Brit happier? Or would the long, dark winters and pickled herring take their toll?
Living Danishly looks at where the Danes get it right, where they don’t, the cultural hurdles (for one Brit) and how we might all benefit from living a little more Danishly ourselves – wherever we are.
The lecture is organized in collaboration between the International Folk High School and Magnae Vitae Trust for Leisure and Culture and will be transmitted live to an audience in Skegness, Lincolnshire.
