Indians in Aarhus and Aarhus University have cooporated to create a language buddy programme. The programme puts students in contact with Hindi-speaking Indians in Aarhus. By this the Hindi Students will get a golden opportunity to get away from the grammer books and practice and improve their Hindi. In exchange the Hindi students offer to practice Danish with their Indian buddy. We are happy to announce this mutual beneficial language programme.

CISCA is pleased to announce that an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) has been signed with the ICCR (Indian Council for Cultural Relations). The first ICCR visiting professor will be announced soon and is expected to teach in Aarhus in autumn / winter 2011.
