Shared Reading in English - March 12th

 
Activate your senses in this shared reading experience in Spinderihallerne with Theis from the library as your guide.
 
A short story is read aloud. No preparation needed. You can simply listen and follow the text as it unfolds. The reading is paused at times to allow for reflection and conversation about what the text brings up.
 
There is no expectation to speak. Listening is enough. During the session, a small sensory element is included. It reflects something of the atmosphere or taste of the text, without shifting the focus away from the reading itself.
 
Free of charge, but you have to sign up!
 
 

TAX system - March 12th + 26th

 

Soon, your tax assessment notice (årsopgørelse) will arrive, letting you know if you’re due for a refund or owe more tax for the previous year. It's easy to get lost in tons of possible deductions, types of incomes, especially if you have income or property abroad.

Therefore, the Danish Tax Agency offiers two free online and fully in English Q&A sessions to get your questions answered. It doesn't matter if you have questions about the annual income assessment, or other tax-related questions, you are welcome to join!

Before the live Q&A, watch the prerecorded video. This video provides a great introduction to the Danish tax system, making it easier to understand when you join the webinar.
