Musician and TV host Mathias Hammer opens the afternoon with a talk and debate on the Christmas songs that recur across many languages. What makes these songs travel, and does music bind people together across language barriers? Is language itself a kind of music?
After the debate, the event moves into cosy Christmas rooms, where teachers from Studieskolen present festive traditions and music from many parts of the world, from Latin America to Denmark. It is also a chance to practise another language: there is a framework for language exchange and conversation in several languages, so you may find a language partner and swap your mother tongue for a new one.
