Maritime Danmark Features Asia House’s Youth-Centered Masterclasses

8 September 2025

We are proud to share that Maritime Danmark has chosen to feature Asia House Denmark and highlight our youth-centered masterclasses!

As they write: “Over the past eight months, Asia House has hosted 11 maritime masterclasses with approximately 700 students from Det Internationale Gymnasium Niels Brock, Slotshaven Gymnasium, Stenhus Gymnasium & HF, ZBC – Zealand Business College, and Københavns Mediegymnasium – NEXT UDDANNELSE KØBENHAVN.” [Translated from Danish and @tags added]

We are genuinely flattered and honored by all the positive feedback, including this comment from René Cordua, coordinator of the maritime development project at Stenhus Gymnasium & HF:

“Asia House has been able to deliver an event that we could never have put together ourselves. They have been incredibly competent and helpful in creating an interdisciplinary program across four subjects, while at the same time combining the maritime and cultural perspective. It’s a truly powerful mix that really captivates the students.” [Translated from Danish]

You can read more statements below from our latest masterclass featuring Christian Føhrby, Clara Lyngholm K. Mortensen, René Cordua and students Johanne Friis and Nicholas Feltrin.

This has been an incredible journey made possible through strong partnerships, engaged students, and dedicated teachers from across the country and a variety of educational backgrounds. We are proud of what has been accomplished and thrilled to see the value these masterclasses bring, the support they have received, and the growing demand for them. This underlines the need for more focus on Asia and the maritime industry in education – the very heart of our youth strategy.

Our appreciation goes out to A/S Dampskibsselskabet Orient’s Fond – without their support, this would not have been possible.
