It’s great to see so much coverage around for the “hygge” concept. What I found during my short stay in Copenhagen last month is that the idea of belonging, feeling safe and the focus on home and family is reflected also in the way Danes approach work. In my interview with Laura ( http://joyfulcareer.eu/2016/11/25/living-working-in-copenhagen/ ), a German expat living in Copenhagen, we don’t focus on hygge, but it soon becomes clear that the overall idea of keeping healthy work-life balance allows you to spend time with your loved ones and to celebrate the moment. And they are good in practising it!
I sit quietly with a candle burning and for the past few days I’ve been putting together a scrapbook of all the artwork my children have done last year which I’m going to show them when it’s complete to use as a prompt for conversations with eldest child.
