Velkommen Session 2 Climate Change Activists!

By Augustina Munter at 91°µÍø

We had a great first few days of session 2 getting acclimated to Copenhagen and our new home! We took a walking tour with Niels, our Danish guide and went on a canal tour to see the city from the water. Tuesday afternoon we went on a canal boat tour of around Nyhavn and our global navigators went on a scavenger hunt around our area. We ended Tuesday night with a "hygge" movie night and watched a Danish-English film with burger takeout.
