Danish Movements since 1790
Some of the foundation of the freethinking - democratic and modern society in Denmark is based and built on the Cooperative Movement from 1790s (Andelsbevægelsen) - the Folk High School Movement from 1844 (Højskolebevægelsen) - the growing Danish Women’s Movement from 1870 (Kvindebevægelsen) - as well as the developing Labour Movement from 1870s (Arbejderbevægelsen) - which all had great impact on the Danes daily life - and also had enormous influence in preparing and signing the Danish Democratic Constitution in 1849 - plus later sections of the Constitutional Act. All these movements have later evolved into new fruitful branches - and local voluntary associations - which are spread all over the Danish Kingdom - with millions of active members - and is still the cornerstone of Danish values - culture - traditions and solid cohesiveness - which has been practiced through numerous generations.

Happy people & satisfied employees
