Help Us Build the Media Platform Internationals Deserve

#2 call for volunteers

Last Week in Denmark started with one idea: if you live here, you deserve to understand what’s going on clearly, reliably, and without feeling left out.

Now it’s grown into a weekly newsletter read by over 30,000 people, a podcast, original journalism, and social media that reaches thousands more. And it’s built by volunteers from all walks of life who believe in one simple thing: belonging starts with being informed.

We’re now looking for new volunteers to join our English Newsletter Team, Podcast Team, and Facebook Team. Most roles are remote, flexible, and take around 2–4 hours per week. You’ll be part of a friendly team working to inform, connect, and empower internationals in Denmark.

This is the second call. There will be one last promo mail (about the event on 30 August) before the newsletter returns on August 10.

👇 Here’s where you can jump in:

• Micro-commentator (for comedians)

• English Newsletter Team: Community Noticeboard Curator

• English Newsletter Team: Global Headlines Curator

• English Newsletter Team: News about Internationals in Danish Media Curator

• Podcast Team: Social Media Video Editor

• Podcast Team: Transcript Editor

• Podcast Team: Social Media Post Writer

• Podcast Team: Podcast Assistant

• Podcast Team: YouTube Assistant

• 10 different positions in the Facebook Team
