About LINK Denmark

LINK was founded in 1973 to give English speaking women of many different nationalities living in Denmark the chance to meet socially. We organise a variety of programs covering a wide range of interests. Some events appeal to the entire family, for example picnics and seasonal parties. Others, such as coffee mornings - a regular feature - provide a good opportunity to relax and chat. There are cultural visits to help members learn more about Denmark and there are evening events as well, sometimes with husbands.

In addition to the general events, subgroups meet regularly throughout the year, including, tennis, diner's club, Danish conversation, French/English conversation, Permanent Residents, Mothers & Toddlers, and golf, to name but a few.

We currently have over 300 members, and we are always happy to welcome new members. We like to think we can help in the adjustment to a new country and environment and offer our members and their families an opportunity to learn and enjoy themselves during their time in Denmark.

Any non-Dane that would like to socialise with other international women, using English as the language of communication; or any Dane that has lived abroad and wishes to continue to make international friends and converse in English.
