This year’s Danish Heritage Seminar is an educational, inspiring and fun-filled course which explores Danish fingerprints in Canada through Danish settlements, clubs, museums, churches, businesses, celebrations, customs and the arts. The Seminar will be led by Pastor Simon Kangas Larsen, former minister at the Danish Lutheran Church in Toronto.

There are also activities such as workshops, singing, walking, exercising and relaxing. An important aspect of the Seminar are the friendships that quickly develop among the participants from across Canada and elsewhere. The Seminar is in English.

The Seminar is modelled on the Folk Schools in Denmark. It is being held right after the Danish Federation's national Conference in Toronto.

 Join us for some days of culture, history, lectures, singing, walking, fun, learning and fellowship!  As well as thundering water!

Danish Heritage Seminars

The Danish Heritage Seminar, which the Danish Federation organizes every year, is a five day educational, inspiring and fun-filled course about Danish culture and history. There are also lectures on Canadian and international topics, as well as activities such as singing, dancing and films.

An important aspect of the course is the friendship that quickly develops among the participants from across Canada. Danes and Americans have also participated. The lectures and films are all in English, while songs are mostly in Danish.

The Danish Heritage Seminar is modelled on the residential Folk High Schools in Denmark, which were created in the 19th century, based on the ideas of N.F.S. Grundtvig and Christen Kold.
