Become a representative and support your local expat community.
Being a representative of Danes Worldwide puts you in a unique position to support the relationship between the association and its members. Our representatives are visible as individuals who assist Danes locally and who in turn orient us regarding the best way to provide services to members.
Danes Worldwide’s representatives engage in a number of key activities:
- Reaching out to new arrivals and helping them get settled; answering questions and offering local knowledge; and introducing newcomers to existing networks in the area

- Communicating members’ needs and suggestions to the Secretariat
- Sharing important news about the local area with members and with the Secretariat
- Providing news and information from the local area to Danes’ newsletter, danes.dk, and the Facebook page
- Ensuring awareness of Danes Worldwide among local authorities, organizations, clubs, enterprises, and institutions through such initiatives as visiting the Danish embassy or other official representation to orient staff regarding the association and then establishing and maintaining collaboration

- Advising you when someone in your area joins Danes Worldwide so that you may reach out to him or her to extend a welcome
