The Reis og Ryk project:
This year I have taken part
in the Reis og Ryk project. The main idea of this project is to exchange ideas
and knowledge across borders in Europe, and to increase the networks of the
organizations involved.
This program gives us the
opportunity to meet other companies / institutions in Europe through a
two week work placement.
Thanks to the project I had the opportunity to go to
Denmark for two weeks to make a study of how two companies in the field of
design and architecture work.
My first week was spent at the Dansk Arkitektur
Center (DAC) this center is internationally known for its good work in the
field of communicating on architecture. Not only for architects, but also for
the general public. During my week there I participated in workshops,
exhibitions, but mainly on interviews with the heads of the various programs DAC
offers.
One interesting thing that happened was my gift to my host (my book Små
Spor). He liked it so much that now I have a contract to sell it in their
bookshop. This is the largest bookshop in the subject of Scandinavian
architecture ...
The second week of the project I spent it at the Design
Museum Danmark. The museum not only gives emphasis to communicating on the
history of design but also focus on research and communication of present day
design. Here I also participated in important business meetings and workshops.
The director of the company also took me to meetings with other directors of
cultural organizations to learn and expand my network.
Apart from this I also had
the opportunity to get to know other interesting people within the field of
design and architecture in Copenhagen.
I am very satisfied with my
stay in Denmark. I feel I have learned a lot about how to run a center as the
one I am planning to run in Tromsø. And I need people! are you one of them? give me a call!
