Embassy of Denmark in Lisbon

5 June is Constitution Day in Denmark - and the closest we come to a national day. It is the day where we celebrate and appreciate our democracy, and where we remind ourselves of the importance of actively passing​ on our civic rights and duties to the future generations 🇩🇰

The day is celebrated with flag-raising ceremonies, which often feature group singing, speeches, and local politicians engaging with their constituents 🇩🇰

This year's Constitution Day comes just days after Denmark formed a new government, making it a timely reminder of the importance of democratic institutions and civic participation.
