Learning Activities

We design learning activities that provide participants with new knowledge and competencies that contribute to sustainable development in Denmark’s partner countries.

We develop learning activities for key professionals from public institutions, civil society organisations and the private sector that are engaged in development initiatives supported by Danida. In addition, we offer a selection of free, open online learning tools available to everyone
