Tougher Citizenship Tests, Assisted Dying, and Denmark’s Starry Nights: S4E6

Send us a text

Hard Questions, Human Choices. In this week’s episode, Golda and Dominika, both internationals with strong ties to Denmark, tackle three powerful conversations: Denmark’s proposal for tougher citizenship tests and what they mean for democracy and belonging, the country’s exploration of assisted dying as a dignified choice at the end of life, and the growing trend of Danes sleeping under the stars in free nature shelters. It’s Dominika’s very first time on the podcast — join her and Golda as they reflect on identity, dignity, and the simple pleasures of life in Denmark.

Topics:

(01:15) Tougher Denmark Citizenship Tests

(08:03) Assisted Dying Debate in Denmark

(14:36) Danish Outdoor Sleeping Trend
