Senior University in Herlev runs a series of Thursday talks and walks through the autumn, covering urban history, theatre, and later-life living. Speakers include architect Helen G Welling, who opens the series on 17 September with a look at Copenhagen's bathing culture, from sea baths to harbour baths.
Later sessions include Emil Møller Christensen on the touring theatres that brought drama to small provincial halls between 1925 and 1975, illustrated with old photographs, film clips and recordings of famous actors. Marianne Bentzen leads a walk through the Århusgade and Nordhavn area, taking in its former industrial buildings and newer architecture. Georg Julin presents an interactive talk on what people can do with the extra years of life that researchers now expect.
