International employees: Improve your Danish with a local senior

Would you like to practice your Danish with a senior from your local area? Here's a great opportunity for you!

Through a collaboration with the association Sammen på Tværs, AU’s International Staff Office is excited to offer a limited number of AU’s international researchers the unique opportunity to practice Danish in a safe 1:1 setting with a volunteer senior from your local area.

Please find attached a flyer, “Sammen på Tværs – for employees”, with more information about the program and how to sign up. The program is for everyone who wants to improve their Danish, from a very basic level to those of you who would like to refine your pronunciation. The program is furthermore available on all AU locations.

To sign up, you must: 

  • Hold an employment contract with Aarhus University (from PhD level)
  • Have a minimum of one (1) year left of your employment at AU
  • Be able to commit to a weekly meeting with your language partner for a minimum of 3 months

How to sign-up: We only have 20 seats available. The seats are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Sign-up via google forms-link in the attached flyer, or here. Please note, you are not secured a seat before you have received a final seat confirmation from ”Sammen på Tværs”.
