Østerbro Bibliotek

There is a highly committed group of women from other countries now living in Denmark, who are responsible for the content of the events. Østerbro Library provides the location. The idea is that there will be activities for families, for both children and their parents.

The group held their first event in April this year, which took the form of an Easter workshop.  Over 50 people attended, cut out Easter decorations and heard about “gækkebrevet” (letters traditionally sent by Danish children at Easter time). Then, in May, the expat dinner was attended by 40 people. The concept was for everyone to bring a national dish, which could be placed on a buffet table and tried by others. We will repeat this successful event on 9 November as part of the literary festival “Copenhagen Reader”.

All are welcome to participate in the events concerned.

Here is what is so far planned for the autumn by the Copenhagen Cultural Network:

Tuesday 30 October: Halloween workshop and cake. From 16.30 -18.30, all welcome.

Friday 9 November: Copenhagen Cultural Network dinner. CCN celebrates the Copenhagen Reader literary festival with a networking dinner, at which children can draw their street on a big roll of paper on the floor of the children's library. Please bring a dish, preferably from your own country, and drinks. From 17.30 onwards. It is necessary to sign up in advance, everyone welcome.

Saturday 1 December: Christmas decorations with Copenhagen Cultural Network. Starts at 11 am, all welcome.

Hen over efter året vil der være et internationalt præg på nogle af Østerbro Biblioteks arrangementer.

Der er etableret en yderst angageret gruppe af herboende udenlandske kvinder, som står for indholdet af arrangementerne. Østerbro Bibliotek lægger rum til. Konceptet er at arrangementerne er for børnefamilier, her vil der være aktiviteter for børn og deres forældre.

Gruppen afholdte deres første arrangement i april måned i år, hvor temaet var Eastern workshop. Det var et stort tilløbsstykke med over 50 fremmødte, som klippede påskepynt og hørte om gækkebrevet (som kun eksistere her i Danmark). Herefter blev Expat dinner afholdt i maj, hvor 40 havde tilmeldt sig: konceptet er, at man medbringer en national ret, som bliver stillet op på et buffet bord, hvorefter alle kan nyde de medbragte retter. Vi gentager succesen den 9. november i forbindelse med København læser i uge 45.

Alle er selvfølgelig velkommen til at deltage ved de pågældende arrangementer.
