How do I receive and manage newsletters from my regional community?

IDA's regional communities each send out a newsletter with future events taking place in the region. Most regional newsletters are in Danish, but we recommend signing up anyways and using a browser translator to translate into English. Many of the events are available to non-Danish speakers, even if the event description is in Danish. If you want to know whether an event is accessible to you if you don't speak Danish, you can contact the organiser listed on the event page or write to one of the community coordinaters listed below. 

You can manage your newsletter subscriptions to the regional communities via the My IDA links below:
