A student from the University of Wales, Newport is to go to Denmark as part of a collaboration that will see an exchange of information about the different ways that social welfare services operate in Denmark and the UK.
Hannah Murch-Seage, who is on the second year of her Youth and Community Work degree, will go to Slagelse Seminaret, near Copenhagen, for three months to study the Danes' approach to solving social problems.
"I've always wanted to do youth work," said 28-year-old Hannah, who comes from Redfield in Bristol, "and this exchange visit is a great opportunity for me to get the European perspective on community studies."
She met up with Karen-Lisbet Jacobsen, Rektor of Slagelse Seminariet, and international co-ordinator Hele Kjaerulff who were visiting the university to discuss developing joint modules and future student exchange visits.
"This is our second visit to Newport's University," said Hele. "We are discussing ways that we can forge closer links with at least two of the university's schools, Social Studies and Education."
