The Voice of the Students – Interviews with Both Danish and Internationals The Voice of the Students – Interviews with both Danish and Internationals The interview is prepared by Interresource Ambassador Maris Talvari Name: Anne Rasmussen School: Aarhus School of Business Study line: Master in Corporate Communication 1. Good places to hang out in town Cafes at Åboulevarden – I especially like Cross cafe. In summertime: the „fake beach“ which just opened this summer + Marselisborg Mindeparken. 2. Cool concerts and festivals to visit in Aarhus/Jylland Danmark’s Most Beautiful Festival in Skanderborg (also known as Skanderborg Festival), which is held in the second weekend of August. 3. Cheap lunch places in town Anettes Sandwich (the place is located in Vestergade, Sdr. Ringgade, Nørregade, and Bånegardsgade). Jensens Bøfhus in Rosenkrantzgade, near to Strøget (lunch menu). Brunch/lunch buffets at the cafees at Åboulevarden. 4. Places/tourist attractions (museums etc.) worth to visit in Aarhus/Jylland Aros Museum Ringkøbing, Hvide Sande, Søndervig in the west coast of Jylland Safari park Ree Park situated in Djursland Skagen in north of Jylland Denmark’s one of the most famous streets Jomfru Ane Gade in Aalborg Name: Ifeta Gerimagic School: Aarhus School of Business Study line: Master in Corporate Communication 1. Good places to hang out in town Cafes such as Cross and Globbenfakket at Åboulevarden. Café Smagløs at Klostertorvet. Night clubs such as Train, Kupe. 2. Cool concerts and festivals to visit in Aarhus/Jylland There are lots of concerts in Scandinavian Congress Center, Train, Voxhall, V58 3. Cheap lunch places in town Café Smagløs near to the Magasin (can recommend their hummus plate). Anettes Sandwich. 4. Places/tourist attractions (museums etc.) worth to visit in Aarhus/Jylland Aarhus – Den Gamle By, Aaros Museum, Musikhuset, Aarhus Teater (student discounts). Fårup Sommerland (Danish theme park in northern part of Jylland), Limfjord museum in Løgstør, Gaden in Aalborg (a party street). 5. Do’s and don’ts in communicationg with danes Have a beer with your fellow students once in a while. 6. Other sparkling ideas/recommendations For the summer – Skanderborg Festival, Skive Festival, Jelling Musikfestival. Name: Sandra Viborg School: Aarhus School of Business Study line: Master in Corporate Communication 1. Good places to hang out in town Skolegade – small bars, pretty cheap too. Sigfrieds Kaffebar – bookshop/coffee bar where you can borrow books for free, really cozy. 2. Cool concerts and festivals to visit in Aarhus/Jylland Spot Festival in Aarhus (June), Skive Festival (May), Skanderborg Festival (August). 3. Cheap lunch places in town GLAD! (Frederiks Alle) 4. Places/tourist attractions (museums etc.) worth to visit in Aarhus/Jylland Legoland (Billund), Djurs Sommerland, Kattegatcenteret (Grenaa). 5. Do’s and don’ts in communicationg with Danes Just force us or tell us to speak English – we tend to forget. We are always up for coffee dates. 6. Other sparkling ideas/recommendations Thursday night special for students at Cross Cafe (Åboulevarden) where you get a burger + a soda/beer for 100 kr. Student discount at Topshop 10%, Message 10%. Name: Triin Jassov School: Aarhus School of Business Study line: Economy and Business Administration (BscB) 1. Good places to hang out in town Mejlgade is one street in Aarhus which I certainly would recommend to explore. There you can always find some live music concerts and cafes (Gyngen cafe for example). The Fair bar in Nørre Allé has also live concerts time to time. 2. Cool concerts and festivals to visit in Aarhus/Jylland Festuge in Aarhus in the beginning of September, Aarhus Film Festival, Aalborg Carnival in the end of May. 3. Cheap lunch places in town Near Klostertorv you can always find several kebab places with a reasonable price. I like Mikado Cafe (Sankt Clemens Stræde, next to the Magasin) which serve very delicious sandwiches. 4. Places/tourist attractions (museums etc.) worth to visit in Aarhus/Jylland I would recommend to discover little towns in Jylland. A harbour town Ebeltoft in east coast of Jylland has a lovely old town. Vejle, south from Aarhus, is know for its forests and hills. Skagen in the very north of Jylland is very picturesque. In Aarhus check out Botanical Garden and Aros Museum. 5. Do’s and don’ts in communicationg with danes Don’t say you don’t drink beer. Danes have rather black humour, so don’t take it personal. Don’t accentuate their danish accent. Danes are honest and they usually trust people, don’t misuse it. Learn the word „hygge“ . It’s hard to translate it but it is similar to the word „cozyness“. Name: Thomas Winther Jørgensen School: Aarhus School of Business Study line: HA almen / BSC(B) 1. Good places to hang out in town I generally find Sharks a nice place to hang out. It is a cozy downtown pool café where I hang out a lot with my friends. 2. Cool concerts and festivals to visit in Aarhus/Jylland Starting off with the festivals, there are several great music festivals in the area. During Aarhus Festuge, there are a lot of music in downtown and most of it is all free. I would also recommend Skanderborg Festivalen (Smuk Fest), which is one of the largest annual music festivals in Denmark. It is located in Skanderborg, which is approximately 30 km south from Aarhus. Be warned though, the tickets are quite expensive! These are the primary suppliers of tickets in Denmark http://www.billetlugen.dk www.billetnet.dk 3. Cheap lunch places in town Of course you can always visit a pizza joint, but if you want a cheap lunch then go visit some of the small restaurants in Frederiksgade. 4. Places/tourist attractions (museums etc.) worth to visit in Aarhus/Jylland There are a lot of places to visit in Aarhus. To name a few – Aros, Den Gamle By, Tivoli Friheden, House of the artists, Århus Urban Museum, Danish Museum of the Sciences. 5. Do’s and don’ts in communicationg with danes Do's: Humor, humor and lot's of humor. Danes love a great laugh and black humor is also welcomed. Don'ts: Trashtalking about danish traditions (danes have a strong national feeling). .

  • Kulturmiljøer ( for Aalborg Kommune )
    Kulturmiljøer ( For Aalborg Kommune ) Indhold Indhold og forord ........................................................................................ Aalborg Kommune.....................................................................................24 Øvrige kulturmiljøer .............................................................................. 228 4 Et kulturmiljø er et geografisk afgrænset Forord område, som ved sin fremtræden afspej- ler væsentlige træk af den samfunds- mæssige udvikling. Det landskab, som istiden efterlod, er gennem mange tusinde år blevet bearbejdet og formet af mennesker. Der er etableret boplad- ser og gravhøje, anlagt veje, stier og jernbaner, bygget kirker, fa- brikker, huse og sommerhuse, fældet skove og plantet nye, dyrket jord, formet skel, plantet hegn, anlagt diger, bygget havne m.m. Det landskab er det, vi i dag kalder det danske kulturlandskab. Kulturlandskabet undergår konstante forandringer i takt med, at samfundet forandrer sig, og derfor føjes der hele tiden nye lag til landskabet, mens andre udviskes. Med andre ord afsætter udviklin- gen spor i landskabet. Den, der kan læse sporene, kan læse om vo- res fælles fortid. Ældre tiders kulturspor giver en historisk oplevelse af og forståelse for tidligere tiders samfundsforhold og menneske- nes vilkår. Forhold, som kan være med til at sætte vores eget liv og livsvilkår i perspektiv. I Danmark har amterne haft en lang tradition for at beskytte natu- ren og miljøet. Der gøres en stor indsats for at nedbringe forurenin- gen og bevare et varieret dyre- og planteliv i naturen. I løbet af de seneste årtier er der desuden opstået en stadig øget interesse for at bevare de gamle kulturhistoriske spor, som mange steder er truet af den generelle samfundsudvikling. Denne interesse har bl.a. udmøn- tet sig i en øget arbejdsindsats fra de kulturhistoriske fagfolks side. Stat, amter, museer m.fl.

  • City Portraits AARHUS 365
    364 City portraits AARHUS 365 Kathrine Hansen Kihm and Kirstine Lilleøre Christensen History and general information One of the oldest nations in Europe, the Kingdom of Denmark is today a constitutional monarchy as well as a modern Nordic welfare state. Aarhus is located in Central Denmark on the eastern side of the Jutland peninsula. Jutland is the only part of Denmark that is connected to the mainland of Europe as 41% of the country consists of 443 named islands. The capital Copenhagen is on the island Zealand (Sjælland in Danish), which is 157 km south-east of Aarhus measured in a straight line and 303 km when driving across the island2 Funen (Fyn in Danish). Aarhus has 242,914 inhabitants2 in the urban area (of 91 km ) and 306,650 in the municipal area (of 467 km ). Aarhus is the second largest city in Denmark not only measured in size, but also in the extent of trade, education, industry and cultural activities. The main employers of Aarhus are the Aarhus Municipality and the Aarhus University Hospital. th Aarhus originated in the 8 century from a Viking settlement, which was built around Aarhus River and still marks the centre of town and laid the foundation for the major industrial port that Aarhus has today. Many old buildings in the city have been preserved, for example, the Aarhus Custom House (Toldkammeret), the Aarhus Theatre (Aarhus Teater), Marselisborg Palace (Marselisborg Slot) and the Aarhus Cathedral, which represent historic landmarks across the city. Aarhus is a pulsating city offering a broad range of educational institutions and a vibrant and active student life.
