If you are interested please reply to this email with your name and INNEBANDY in the subject line. We will keep then keep you posted on when this play-off is going to take place.
4. The Danish minister of Employment is coming on the 16th March to host a debate on the Danish model of flexicurity; how it is relatively complex and among other things requires an active labour market policy as well as trust in both politicians and the social partners; whether the model can survive globalisation and a financial crisis; and if it is relevant for other countries. The debate will be followed by a reception.
5. A party involving Vodka is coming up soon. Be prepared. Be very prepared
