What to know

October 7, 2026 at 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM. In the lecture "When the world slowed down," Peter Skovmos takes the audience on a journey back to Denmark in the 1930 s and 1940 s. Through stories and panels, a nuanced picture of everyday life is drawn in a time characterized by fixed rules of conduct, clear social order, and a calmer pace. The lecture provides insight into both daily life and larger societal issues, including the occupation, security policy, economic changes and cultural trends. The audience gets a comprehensive insight into a period when Denmark underwent significant changes. Peter Skovmos Nielsen is a retired education manager and ambassador for the Christmas Stamp Foundation. His fee for the lecture goes entirely to the foundation.
