Janteloven

Denmark 101 with Alex Berger

The Law of Jante defines the Nordic societies and is particularly prevalent in Denmark. To understand Danes and the Danish society it is essential that you understand the Law of Jante. What is it? In this episode I explore the topic, my observations, and share a bit about what you can expect when running into Janteloven.

Denmark and its residents are a fascinating group. In this video series I'll be leveraging my observations and research to share with you insights into how to get the most of your interactions with the Danes and time in Denmark regardless the duration of your visit. One day or ten years - my goal is to share observations I've made from 5+ years living, studying, and working among the Danes.

If you're Danish hopefully you'll find this series interesting, a bit informative, and not too outlandishly offensive.

If you're a foreigner coming to Denmark, I hope this helps you build upon observations and insights the rest of us had to find out the hard way.

Topics that will be covered include the Danish approach to nudity, how to make Danish friends, how to meet Danes, Danish manners, and even a look at Janteloven.

Stay tuned for future updates - this is just the beginning!
