Strong Democracies Start in the Library, with Asmund Bertelsen | Social Masterclass
Across Europe, libraries and community organisations are responding to growing social and environmental challenges, which is transforming their role and day‑to‑day work. To meet these evolving responsibilities, library professionals need new skills and approaches to innovate, collaborate, and lead change.
As part of our project BUDDIES – Connected Libraries & Communities, the Aarhus Public Libraries is organising a series of masterclasses along Europe’s key transitions: Digital, Green, and Social, also corresponding to the focus areas of The Europe Challenge programme. Two presentations from the second masterclass, dedicated to the Social transition, are now publicly available and feature insights from library innovators Asmund Bertelsen and Alexander Zambrano.
Watch Asmund’s presentation to learn more about how libraries help build stronger democracies, through his work as Project Manager and Democracy Developer at Aarhus Public Libraries.
