RIYADH: Nordic Culture Week 2024 is bringing Scandinavian culture to Riyadh with a weeklong festival.
The celebration aims to strengthen ties between Nordic countries and the Kingdom and includes a host of cultural events, including screenings of films from Norway, Sweden and Finland.
On Monday, the Danish Embassy hosted Nordic Joyfest, featuring a demonstration of how to make Danish pastries. The event was held in cooperation with Aysh Academy at Hayy Jameel, a baking institute in Jeddah founded by Sumaia Showail and known for its expertise in Danish pastry-making.
Students from the Higher Institute for Tourism and Hospitality, a long-standing partner of HTMi Hotel and Tourism Management Institute in Switzerland, were among those taking part.
Liselotte Plesner, the Danish ambassador to Saudi Arabia, said the festival was not only a celebration of Nordic heritage but also a reflection of the strong cooperation among Nordic nations.
