Explore the 2021 Copenhagen Fellowship's Open Events
In 2021 the Copenhagen Fellowship focused on Denmark's relation to Greenland and the Faeroe Islands. Using a Human Rights lens we dove deep into the pressing realities of this often overlooked region and Greenland's, Faroe Island's and Denmark's roles respectively in shaping it. During the Fellowship, we hosted a range of open events in Copenhagen and Tórshavn where the public was invited to discuss related topics with our Fellows. All events tried to untangle the complex issues related to the Unity of the Realm or pressing issues related to minorities and democracy, as well as to understand what civic engagement and action means in 2021.
