CIEE HS Summer Abroad: Civic Engagement in Copenhagen
Program Overview
Develop a blueprint for change from your home base of Copenhagen, set to become the world’s first carbon-neutral capital by 2025.
See what it takes to fight for the planet and drive social change. Witness Copenhagen’s decarbonization initiatives firsthand: Learn about the giant wind turbines that dot the city’s picturesque seascape and visit the iconic power plant that not only turns waste into clean energy but also serves as a year-round ski slope!
Discover the evolution of climate policy in Denmark and delve into policies as well strategies for influencing public opinion. Talk about climate change with students from The Green Youth Movement. In the end, develop your own advocacy strategy to help tackle the biggest challenge of our time.
Soak up daily life in Copenhagen and get to know Nordic nature. Swim in one of Copenhagen’s clean harbor pools. Discover the countless parks and canals and get a taste of Danish beach life. Outside the city, explore the renewable energy island of Samsø while enjoying farm-fresh strawberries!
