15 large and small projects are letting daylight and fresh air into shared urban gardens, schools and halls of residence for the benefit of children, young people, adults and the elderly.

In the spring, for the second time VILLUM FONDEN posted the notice, Daylight and fresh air, inviting applicants to submit good ideas for how everyday activities can be staged with more light and air. The notice was met with great interest, and enthusiasts, organisations, institutions and other parties from all over Denmark submitted their project proposals. Out of the many applications, 15 projects have received grants to turn their ideas into reality.

“We’re really pleased to have received so many inventive and useful proposals for how we can integrate nature’s light and air into so many diverse contexts, and bring more everyday activities outdoors. We’re looking forward to following the realisation of the projects,” says Signe Staubo Sørensen, Head of Programme at VILLUM FONDEN.

The call will reopen for applications in early 2021 and will be posted here and on the foundations’ Facebook and LinkedIn.

The projects are distributed throughout Denmark and are anchored in schools, citizens’ groups and leisure associations etc.
