“I have visited Minsk three times. I met extreme kindness in the beautiful and interesting city – and I do want to return some day.

Sophia, the daughter of a Polotsk prince, was born in 1140 – and later became Queen of Denmark.

I have written a book about this fascinating woman”.

ABOUT US

BELADANIA is an NGO independent of political parties, industrial and organisational interests. It functions exclusively as a facilitator of cultural, educational and information exchange as well as cross-regional networking.

Founded in the beginning of 2020, Danish-Belarusian Culture Society BELADANIA is a non-profit organisation for Danes interested in Belarus and Belarusians keen on Denmark.

It builds on a unique set of competences and knowledge about the common Danish-Belarusian historical legacy and cultural heritage. We believe in culture as a soft power instrument and an essential nation-building component not only for big countries, but also for small states. We aim at supporting the sustainable development of the Belarusian as well as Danish culture in an increasingly globalised world.

In our team, we have a clear idea and all the necessary expertise and knowledge of how to boost the nation brands and how to enhance more dynamics in international relations. We have highly qualified professionals, academics and connoisseurs of culture to make this possible. Follow us on www.facebook.com/beladania.org and stay updated about our current events.
