BUILDING CULTURE AT EYE LEVEL

The Wadden Sea National Park wants to focus on the building heritage and invites you to an event with information and dialogue about the individual buildings and Vester Vedsted's qualities.

The event will be held at Ungdomshøjskolen, Monday 19 May at 17-21pm. To have a good dialogue about Vester Vedsted's potential, you can send a photo of your own house if you want a dialogue about it, and preferably examples of beautiful buildings that mean something to you and that make Vester Vedsted something special. Architect Helene Plet and cultural historian Mette Slyngborg will guide you through the program, which offers presentations, dialogue, city walks and dinner. Send your photos with addresses to the Wadden Sea National Park no later than 22 April to: vadehavet@danmarksnationalparker.dk. Registration for the event is necessary due to dining and must be done via the same email no later than 2 May. The Region of Southern Denmark's Culture Fund has granted support for the project.
