Welcome to LOPO

As a LOPO participant you will see, experience and obtain firsthand knowledge of what is the core of the Danish welfare model through a series of presentations, guided plant visits and meetings with citizens.

We have over 100 international visitors per year for more than 20 years and we have continuously developed the LOPO programme, so it meets today's demands and requirements.
And if you have special request, we will try to fulfil it.

Partnership

The municipalities in Denmark are responsible for a broad variety of services for the citizens. These assignments are often performed in a close partnership with local and regional private companies and in Naestved we have a remarkable collaboration with the local business and industry.

Areas like elementary education, healthcare, eldercare and environment are core tasks, but also within ICT, planning and psychiatric treatment Naestved has experience and skills that are highly recommended abroad.

We can assist you in establishing contact with relevant companies in the desired field of study.

Naestved

Naestved has 83,000 inhabitants. Only a short one-hour trip by train, bus or car divides Naestved from Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark.
