  Get smart on culture Use this link to access the meeting

  As the main event on the second day of Global Welcome Week, it’ll be your turn to engage yourself and meet up with each other in virtual groups. You’ll be guided through activities of intercultural training - discussing customs, nationality, hierarchy and methods of learning. At the end of the day, you’ll know more about yourself, your peers and a little bit about KEA’s ways of teaching.

  Next, you will meet with KEA Library – probably the best library in the world - and hear about the many things they can help you with during your studies. 

  Afterwards you’ll meet a Local Buddy and hear about KEA’s Buddy Scheme. This scheme allows you to meet current KEA students and group up with them and other new students in teams.

  Finally, some of our resident international copenhageners will give you a tour of the city and what it has to offer.
