KNOWLEDGE
Every day, projekt UDENFOR works with gathering knowledge on exclusion and homelessness as well as debate and communication of this knowledge to the public.
Through printed and electronic media, own publications, films, happenings and education, presentations and lectures, we contribute to the social debate in the areas of homelessness and exclusion.
Generally, our target is that our organisation should be open and including. We therefore try, to the extent possible, to keep our door open to all interested parties ranging from journalists and students, wanting interviews on homelessness and social exclusion to private citizens, organisations and collaborators looking for an insight into projekt UDENFOR.
The first Wednesday of every month, we invite people to participate in free information meetings about our work, which outsides can learn of when they visit our domicil at Nørrebro in Copenhagen. Sign up here

I have established countless relations, listened to endless numbers of life stories and often from the sidelines watched a merciless downfall from alcohol and substance abuse. I have followed several persons during their later years and have buried a few. But despite the harsh insight it still doesn´t give me the right to say that I know what life as a homeless person is like." Justine Mitchell, manager at Hug & Food
