Denmark is a country that stands out for its unique blend of ancient seafaring history and cutting-edge modern living. While it was once the home of legendary Viking explorers who traveled across the North Atlantic, it has transformed a technologically advanced and sustainable nation. Its flat, island-filled geography has shaped a culture where people are deeply connected to the sea and dedicated to creating a society built on equality and community well-being.
This comprehensive resource is designed to help youth explore everything from modern-day life to historical events.
