Cultural Relations and Greek Community

The educational and cultural relations between Greece and Denmark are founded on shared values of European civilization, classical heritage, and linguistic tradition. The Greek school in Denmark is supported by organizations that assist the Greek diaspora, promote Greek culture and language, and facilitate networking within the Greek–Danish community.

It is estimated that more than five thousand five hundred Greeks reside in Denmark, most of whom live in the wider Copenhagen area. The number of Greeks has been steadily increasing over the past three years.
