| On January 21, 2018, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark attended opening events of Aarhus European Volunteering Capital 2018. Aaurhus city which was European Capital of Culture in 2017 was selected as European Volunteering Capital in 2018 because it attached great importance to volunteering in local level. Crown Princess Mary is the patron of Aaurhus European Volunteering Capital City 2018. The aim of the initiative, co-funded by the EU’s ‘Europe for Citizens’ programme, is to promote volunteering at local level by recognising municipalities that support and strengthen partnerships with volunteer centres and organisations that involve volunteers. |
