108 | Redefining Belonging for Internationals in Denmark

Narcis didn’t just move to Denmark—he moved the needle. What began as a frustrating student experience turned into a powerful journey of activism, visibility, and political impact. From challenging exclusion in student councils to launching Last Week in Denmark, a very popular newsletter now published in nine languages, he’s running for city council and calling for a complete reframe of how internationals are seen—pushing to replace the outdated Ministry of Integration with a Ministry of Internationals. If you’ve ever felt like an outsider or wondered how real change happens, this episode shows exactly what’s possible.
