EVENT: JAPAN IN TVERSTED

JAPANESE-INSPIRED DAYS AT TVERSTED SCHOOL

Tversted School has a very special connection with Japan. Once again, this year, the association Culture at Tversted School invites everyone to join Japanese-inspired days, celebrating the meeting between Japanese and Danish culture.
In 2024, a group of Japanese artisans visited the school. They will return in 2026, and this year, new artisans will showcase Japanese-inspired arts and crafts, food, lectures, and more. The school’s workshops will also be open.
Come by and be inspired!
