Former Prime Minister Poul Nyrup Rasmussen takes the hot seat in a conversation series with radio host and lecturer Søren Dahl, looking back on a life in Danish politics: power, powerlessness and the importance of community.
The evening is the first of two in-depth conversations. Here the focus shifts from the politician to the person behind him. Since leaving Danish politics, Nyrup has devoted his life to vulnerable young people and their relatives, and he speaks openly about the personal experiences that have driven that work over the past 15 years, from mental vulnerability and distress to social community.
The talk draws on his 2024 memoir Kan vi ikke gøre det lidt bedre?, and asks how society can better protect what it has most of all: its communities.
