The Danish Australian Cultural Society Inc. (DACS) was established in Melbourne in 1982 by a group of enthusiasts with love for Denmark. The Society consists of approx. 200 member families in and around Melbourne. We meet through activities organised by DACS. These activities include lectures, discussion groups, concerts and film evenings and social gatherings to sample Danish food. The activities are listed in a regular newsletter posted to all members.
Our Aims are:
- To provide personal friendship and relationships between the Australian and Danish people.
- To promote Danish Culture and knowledge of the Danish way of life, both in historical and contemporary terms, within Australia for the benefit of both the Australian and Danish people.
- To extend hospitality and assistance to Danish immigrants and Danish visitors to Australia.
- To promote, foster and maintain an interest in Danish affairs and activities for the Danish community in Australia, as well as other people with a common interest in Danish affairs.
