What to expect coming to Festinord 2023
The Copenhagen Festinord will yet again be in more like we are used to. The
venue will be a school in Farum one of the suburbs to Copenhagen. The layout of the venue will give the participants a place to really meet and spend fun and spiritual times together with old and new friends.
We want to make the Festinord a memorable experience for the YSA. We have
gathered feedback from previous Festinord from all over the Nordic countries and will implement that to the main activities. We want to bring the "fest" back to Festinord.
The week is full of activities and events which will strengthen you spiritually,
mentally, and physically. There will be unforgettable moments and after the week is done,
you will have memories to last a lifetime. That’s the Festinord promise!
