Institutions Greenlandic Houses The Greenlandic Houses (Det Grønlandske Hus) are institutions designed to assist Greenlandic people while living in Denmark, particularly new arrivals and students. They are funded by the Greenlandic government. There are four Greenlandic Houses in Denmark and are responsible for their respective region. Aalborg covers the region of North Jutland, Aarhus the region of Central Jutland, Odense House is responsible for Southern Denmark and the house in Copenhagen for Zealand and the Capital Region. The Greenlandic Houses offer counselling to Greenlandic people as well as health, legal, interpreting and accommodation assistance. This is extended to students from Greenland who have chosen to study in Denmark. The House provides student accommodation for a maximum of one year in order to help students find their feet and move on to more permanent housing. There are Greenlandic cultural activities run by the houses for the local communities such as cooking classes and music performances.
