MILLENIUM 2027 - European Year of the Normans
Roskilde
In Roskilde, the renowned Viking Ship Museum will be involved in several projects highlighting the historical ties between the Viking and Norman worlds. Scientific exchanges, heritage-related meetings and projects focusing on historical navigation will provide opportunities to explore this shared history. Collaborations are also being considered with the Moesgaard Museum in Aarhus, focusing on the Bayeux Tapestry, medieval history and academic exchanges between Danish and Norman researchers.
Dansekapellet
Institut français du Danemark is supporting a project of artistic exchange residencies between Normandy and Denmark, led by the Association for Creation and Emerging Talent in Choreographic Arts (Association pour la création et l’émergence dans les arts chorégraphiques - ACEAC), in partnership with Dansekapellet in Copenhagen. The project aims to strengthen artistic exchanges and collaborations in contemporary dance between the two regions. It will provide opportunities for artistic teams from Normandy to take part in residencies in Copenhagen.
Chaume devant !
ARPE Normandie (Regional Association for the Promotion of Eco-construction in Normandy) is developing the Franco-Danish project "Chaume devant!", dedicated to the history and contemporary practices of thatching in Normandy and Denmark. The project aims to highlight the historical ties between Normandy and Denmark through a comparative study of techniques, materials and craftsmanship, from the Viking Age to the present day. It will bring together French and Danish researchers, craftspeople and heritage professionals through field visits, workshops and conferences. These exchanges will lead to the creation of a map of thatched buildings in Normandy (similar mapping already exists in Denmark), an illustrated glossary, scientific publications and a travelling exhibition. The project thus contributes to the preservation and transmission of traditional craftsmanship while strengthening professional and cultural exchanges between France and Denmark.
