PRIOR PROJECTS

 Next stop organized events both in Denmark and in Serbia as well. The first informal contact had been established in August 2000. Due to visa problems, only a small number of Danish students managed to get through. Guided tours in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Guca, parties, concerts, conversations, meetings with representatives of different NGO-s were the opportunity for representatives of different cultures to meet better and become friends. Thanks to these acquaintances, which soon become friendship, basis for future joint plans and projects were set up. In November 2000, preparations for Danish Film Festival had begun. It had been realized month later with the help of several organizations (Yugoslavia Film, Dom Omladine, Yuffis, Otpor, SKC). At the same time that had been the first step towards Serbian broader public. The three-day festival represented mutual action, aiming to bring the two cultures together. Large number of visitors had the opportunity not only to acknowledge Danish film through the big screen, but also through direct contacts with the artists, the guests of the film festival.

In March, 2001, a seminar in Copenhagen, which hosted 46 people from Serbia, was held. They were welcomed by the same number of hosts from Denmark.

 PRESENTATION OF THE DANISH THEATRE
