For several years, Harald Bluetooth Guild has been in contact with the Irish embassy regarding the possibility of a youth exchange programme, where a young Dane and a young Irishman would spend a week as guests in the respective countries.<\/p>\n\n
The purpose of the exchange program is to provide an introduction to the country’s culture and not least to the dissemination of the Viking Age locally and nationally.<\/p>\n\n
For several years, this program has been on the desk, but the Corona era put a damper on the wheel.<\/p>\n\n
Now the program has taken a long step forward.<\/p>\n\n
The Irish embassy in Copenhagen and the Danish embassy in Dublin have created the official breeding ground for a contact with the City Council in Waterford, which is a few hours’ train journey south of Dublin. Waterford is known as a central area in Viking history.<\/p>\n\n
Based on meetings with the City Council in Waterford, the picture is now emerging of an exchange program that will run for the next five years.<\/p>\n\n
The great support from the embassies and the City Council has supported a future collaboration partly between Trelleborg Museum and Waterford Treasures Museum and partly between local Rotary clubs in Slagelse and Waterford.<\/p>\n\n
The exchange program has attracted a lot of attention from Irish Tourism, who see positive development opportunities for tourism between Ireland and Denmark.<\/p>\n\n
The first exchange program will be launched in the summer of 2023.<\/p>\n\n
