In the Footsteps of Søren Kierkegaard

CITY WALK -2 HOURS - 4-5 KM

Søren Kierkegaard was a Danish philosopher living in Copenhagen in the 19th century. Kierkegaard has been important for developing of the existential thinking and even some of Rogers & Freud’s ideas have roots in Kierkegaard's thinking. Kierkegaard lived his life in Copenhagen, and Copenhagen is written between the lines of his works. The trip starts at his birth home, and come around seduction, philosophy, residence, literary rivals, life and death. The guide is a Kierkegaard scholar who will bring Kierkegaards philosophy alive and connect it with the theme of the PCE2022 conference: How Can I be of Help?

But all true helping begins with a humbling. The helper must first humble himself under the person he wants to help and thereby understand that to help is not to dominate but to serve, that to help is not to be the most dominating but the most patient, that to help is a willingness for the time being to put up with being in the wrong and not understanding what the other understands. (Søren Kierkegaard, 1859)

Freetown Christania

CITY WALK -2 HOURS - 4 KM

Christiania is a former military base that was abandoned for many years before becoming the neighbourhood we know today. In 1971, a group of hippies broke down the barricades and began squatting there. Nowadays, approximately 900 people live in the area, comprising a community that has its own rules and regulations completely independent of the Danish government. During its relatively short history, Freetown Christiania has faced a certain amount of turmoil. This is mainly due to the cannabis trade taking place in its famous “Green Light District.”

Guided tours of Christiania are not pre-scripted. The guided tour are led by a Christianit and will give an authentic and personal insight into Christiania's structure and history. Everyone is given a short factual historic summary, but after that guests receive an individual version of the Christiania story based upon the guides own experience. It makes each tour a unique event. The tour normally begin with half an hour introduction, followed by a walking tour around the area. Tours can vary in sequence and sometimes the introduction is given during the tour.
