Copenhagen Marathon
We will not attend, but just inform/warn you, that on May 10th the city will go a little crazy as the Copenhagen Marathon 2026 takes place. Runners from all over the world will lace up for a fast, flat course that winds through Copenhagen’s vibrant neighborhoods, historic landmarks, and beautiful waterfronts. Whether you’re running or cheering from the sidelines, the 2026 Copenhagen Marathon will be a celebration of endurance, community, and the unique spirit of the city.
May 15–17
Wisdom Sharing Weekend
A conference will be held on the second weekend of the Village. We gather to reflect, talk, and support one another. The conference will cover the most important and hard questions to answer for nomadic families with teenagers. It is a different ballgame from when they were little!
Themes are:
The parent teenager relation - how to navigate independence, love, trust and the future.
Finances: how do we make money on the road, and how do we teach our kids to do the same
Education: What about higher education? How do we get them ready for that, while not letting go of our freedom
Veteran worldschoolers share their stories, share their wisdom. Newcomers ask questions. We hold space for deep conversations that help us grow as families and a movement.
During the week starting May 18th, 2026
Teen Dance - Yes... It is party time :)
We’re throwing a big, fancy party for all the teens—a celebration with style, music, and plenty of fun. It will take place one day during the week starting May 18th. We are currently looking at venues, and ones an agreement is in place - we will announce the date :)
Dress up, hit the dance floor, and enjoy an evening dedicated to you—the young people growing up in this global, freedom-filled way. This is our chance to honor your journey, mark your growth, and celebrate the friendships and adventures we’ve shared.
Call it a graduation dance, a prom, a milestone, or simply a party—what matters is that everyone gets to shine and enjoy the prize of living an amazing life, together.
Let’s make memories and dance the night away!
June 1st, 2026
The Big Goodbye Picnic and time for hugs
A final gathering for all of us— We pray for awesome weather - we’ll meet up for one last picnic in the park to share some relaxed time together before we part ways. For those checking out that day, we recommend bringing any leftover food along to the picnic and passing it on to those who are staying longer—a little tradition we love in the Village!
Where will we be? ... Join us in Creating a "Village Square"
One of the most magical things we’ve experienced during longer stays as worldschoolers is the feeling of living in walking distance of one another. We’ve tried it. It works. There’s a special kind of ease and spontaneity that comes when you can simply stroll out the door, wander toward a shared space — and bump into a familiar face.
That’s what we call the Village Square.
Not a literal square with market stalls and fountains (though we love those too), but a central meeting spot — a park, a bench, a patch of shade, a little rhythm of presence. A place where people gather because it’s there, not because there’s a scheduled event.
🧭 Our current favorite for the Village Square is Nørrebro Parken
We’re excited to announce that Copenhagen Village will be based at Nørrebroparken—a vibrant, green stretch in the heart of the city. This is Cecilie’s old neighborhood; she lived here as a young single mom and knows every path and playground by heart.
Nørrebroparken has something for everyone: the famous Flyverlegepladsen playground, a large green hangout area perfect for spikeball or picnics, a football field, public toilets, and a cozy playgroup spot for younger siblings. It’s the ideal setting for relaxed village life in Copenhagen.
We can’t wait to welcome you to this special place!
Nørrebro Parken will become a great epicenter of our Worldschool Village — a natural gathering point, our “village square,” where the community can grow from presence, not pressure. Everything you need is within walking distance - it is a perfect place to call home—if only for a little while.
We believe this will become a natural gathering point — but of course, we value freedom. Teens and young adults and adults will create their own rhythm. Another corner of the city may become “the spot,” and that’s part of the magic.
So when you look for a place to stay, think like a villager: close to the rhythm, close to the village square, close enough to drift into something unexpected and wonderful. Find the park on Google Maps, and then find an accomodation that serveves yours and your familys need. We, prefer to be no further away than approx 10-15 minutes walking distance of the park.
We, The Conrads, have booked our accomodtion in walking distance of the park.
If you come in a Van or Camper, then we recommend, Bispebjerg Camping. It is a 40 minute walk, 7 minutes drive or 12 minutes by bike, if you are jumping on the bicycle with all the other danes - There is also a bus that goes from the campsite to the park :)
We recommend looking for accommodation close to the park. But if you are a little further away - do not worry. It is a wonderful city with a really good public transport system, or you can do like all the danes and just rent a bicycle and use the well established bike-lanes.
NB! If you love Music and fun - You might want to stay longer in Denmark
We, the hosts, might not attend all of the following ourselves, but just wanted to share some events with you, if you are a fan of Copenhagen, music, theater and/or a metal head.
June 3 to 7th, 2026
Distortion - All over Copenhagen
Distortion is Copenhagen’s wildest and most beloved street festival, transforming the city into a giant urban party every June. For nearly a week, Distortion brings together thousands of people for open-air street parties, live music, pop-up events, and late-night clubbing across multiple neighborhoods. What started in the late 1990s as a small underground event is now a cornerstone of Copenhagen’s nightlife and youth culture.
We, The Conrads, will stay in Copenhagen for Distotion.
A sunny day in June
Shakes
Shakes is a Danish outdoor Shakespeare at its most joyful, rowdy, and ridiculous. Every summer, Shakes brings classic plays to a Ørsteds Parken in Copenhagen—but forget stuffy theatres and polished performances. This is Shakespeare for everyone: loud, fast, and full of laughter, music, and surprises. The actors perform entirely in Danish, but don’t let that stop you! Cecilie will be there to do her best with live translation, and honestly, the slapstick energy and wild antics speak for themselves.
The theater company only performs in good weather and only in June. For us it is a tradition. So if you stay longer - contact us, and then grab a picnic, bring some friends, and settle in for a completely unique theatre experience under the open sky. Whether you know every line or have never seen Shakespeare before, Shakes will make you laugh, cheer, and maybe even dance along. Just show up, go with the flow, and let yourself be amazed. We love it—come and see why!
We, The Conrads, will go see Shakes - It is on our yearly MUST list.
June 18-21, 2026
Copenhell
We are not Metalheads... But for the ones who are ... Then we have heard good stuff about Copenhell and you could consider staying longer time in Copenhagen to enjoy this epic heavy metal festival, held every June in Copenhagen’s industrial Refshaleøen district. Since its launch in 2010, Copenhell has become a mecca for metal fans from across Europe, offering several days of intense live music from legendary international headliners and exciting new acts.
The festival is known for its wild atmosphere, creative stage designs, and a passionate community that celebrates all things hard and heavy.
With food trucks, beer gardens, quirky art installations, and a famously friendly vibe, Copenhell isn’t just about music—it’s an unforgettable experience for anyone who loves rock and metal culture.
We, The Conrads, will most likely not go to Copenhell as none of us are "Metal" :)
June 27 July 4th 2026
Roskilde Festival
Just outside Copenhagen, in the city of Roskilde, Denmark. As one of Europe’s largest and most legendary music festivals, Roskilde is famous for its week-long celebration of music, art, and community. Every year, more than 100,000 festival-goers from all over the world gather to experience an eclectic lineup of international superstars, breakthrough artists, and cutting-edge acts across multiple stages.
But Roskilde is much more than just music: the festival is a vibrant city of its own, with camping, creative art installations, workshops, food markets, activism, and a unique spirit of solidarity. Roskilde Festival is run by a non-profit foundation, and all profits are donated to cultural and humanitarian causes. With its bold programming, strong values, and legendary orange stage, Roskilde 2026 promises another unforgettable week of music, community, and festival magic.
We, The Conrads, will most likely not go to Roskilde, as we most likely will be driving towards UK and the yearly HEFF at this time :)
Our vision
We want to create genuine community for families traveling with teens. We invite like-minded families to move into the same neighborhood, transforming it into a temporary home base—a place for teens growing up on the road to find connection, belonging, and adventure.
For four weeks at a time, in a new city each time, we build these vibrant, supportive pop-up villages—always staying true to our nomadic hearts.
We’ll facilitate connection through shared events, group walks, wisdom circles, and immersive cultural experiences. And of course, Village wouldn’t be complete without a legendary teen party—because this life deserves to be celebrated.
Teens from around the world can come together, make friends, and experience real community—while still living the freedom of the road.
Here is what you get
Community
The Conrads are long term community creating people, and the Worldschool Village is just that: Creation of community - by joining you have instant access to a life with likeminded, for you and your teens. Facilitation of community hosted by a long term nomadic family. We can of course not guarantee your experience to be anything specific, but we CAN guarantee options are there.Wisdom
There are so many elements of the life of the nomadic teen, that differ. So much to talk about! The veterans will share their experience and research, paving the way for those who are newer to the community. We will talk about parenting teens, about education, finances, the future, love life, relationships. First weekend we dedicate 3 sessions of wisdom, to get the ball rolling. Over the following weeks, conversations will flow, and we will all grow.Information
Become part of the core community. We will create a WhatsApp community which will go live at the latest March 1st. And if there is interest for it, we are also considering creating a village-site where we all can share where we stay, who we are and how to connect.Creating Memories
Weekly Walks, SuitUp Sundays, shared excursions to art museums and historical sites (any tickets are not included in the price, nor is transportation)Be the light
The option to invite newcommers in or to be the newcomer in the week of more intense shared experiences. We make sure to create community also for those just flirting with the idea of worldschooling.Party-time!
Invitation to the fancy dance for teens only on Saturday April 25th. It will be a blast.
💃 Note: The Fancy Teen Dance will have an additional cost of €25–€50 per teen (13+), depending on the venue. We’ll keep it as affordable as possible, but we will need to rent a space and decorate it to make it truly special, so there will be a small extra cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Worldschooling Village Only for Families with Teens?
Not at all — it’s a village, not a program.
That said, most of the families who “move in” for the month have tweens and teens, and our focus is to hold space for that age group — because we’ve seen how much they thrive when they get time together. Adolescence brings new needs: independence, deeper conversations, late-night walks, and freedom to connect in their own way. We want to create a rhythm that supports that.
But like in any real village, there’s a mix. Families, of course, come with younger siblings, older siblings, and even grown-up kids visiting. (We, The Conrads, travel with our three teens — currently aged 13, 17, and 19. We also have a grown-up daughter, aged 26, who visits us on our travels from time to time — and we hope you’ll get the chance to meet her and her wonderful boyfriend. 😊)
If your oldest child is under 10 and you’re primarily looking for a community for younger kids, this might not be the best fit. But then again, some families who’ve already confirmed their stay have kids aged 8 and 9. It’s a village — you can bring your grandma if you like! So if your 8-year-old is a sibling to a teen or just loves tagging along in multi-age groups, there will absolutely be others like them around.
We’ve created the Village to reflect what we and our teens miss — that powerful, natural connection teens crave. But we also welcome the full rhythm of family life. Villages are, after all, for everyone.
What if I can not come for the entire month?
That is completely up to you. Everyone is welcome for the amount of time they can come. The ticket price is the same for everyone, as our work is more or less the same, no matter how long you stay.
For some, an entire month is perfect, for some it is too much, and for some it is not enough. You choose how long you want to stay.
Whether you're with us for one week or the entire month, you are part of the village.
What am I paying for?
You are paying for the community creation, the facilitation of an IRL social life, especially for the teenagers. Included in the prices is
Invitation to a wisdom sharing/conference on the topics relevant to this specific lifestyle
Invitation to weekly hike
Invitation to weekly immersion in culture (A trip to a museum, music or something like this)
Invitation to a fancy dance for teenagers only (13 and up, being 20 years old or more is fine if they want to be part of the group)
Invitation to the WhatsApp community
Tickets to museums/sites are not included, and expenses for the fancy dance are not included.
What if my oldest teenager is no longer a teen - i.e., 20 years old or older?
We cap the fancy dance on the young side; only children age 13 and up are invited. We have good experience with this. Everything else is for everyone. On the other end, we do NOT cap it, if a teen has crossed the line into his or her twenties and still wants to join the dance, he or she is welcome, no problem. Our oldest son will be 20 at the time of this village, and he will for sure also join the dance in the coming Villages.
What if I don’t know anyone? What if my teen is shy?
The world schoolers tend to be very social and open-minded people, including being good at making friends fast. Some of the families who have already booked know each other already, and some are new to the community. It is all good. We can, of course, not guarantee your personal experience, but there is no reason to think you will not have a blast and make a lot of new friends. If you do not know anyone already, you can make more new friends than we can!
Can my teen come alone?
We have had the question a few times: Do I need to pay if I am a teen travelling alone? The answer is yes. Everyone, without exception, needs to purchase a ticket and receive the same access. How long you choose to stay is up to you.
Another question we have had is if it is “allowed” for teens to come without parents, and of course, it is. It is not up to us how many of your family members attend; we just need to be clear, they are not our responsibility.
This is not a teen retreat.
We are creating these villages for families travelling with teens and tweens, but if you are a teen or young adult who can take care of yourself, then you are also welcome. We are kind and caring people who look after everyone in our community, but we cannot take on having the responsibility of teens not our own. They will, of course, be their own responsibility, with an anchor in their own parents, wherever they may be in the meantime. You know - like everyday life.
