Thursday 13 June: "Houston, we have an obesity problem!"
Never before have so many Danes and other people in most parts of the world been so overweight. The obesity epidemic is global and growing rapidly. Today, more than half of all Danes are overweight and close to one in five are obese. If this trend continues, one in three of us will be obese by 2040. 1.5 million sick days due to long-term sickness absence, 1.4 million GP visits and over 50,000 hospitalisations each year result from obesity. Can we live with it? Should we medicate or prevent ourselves from living a lifestyle that weighs down the body and makes the heart race? So, Houston, we have an obesity problem. Can we break the obesity curve by creating healthy, thriving children and adolescents?
Centre for Childhood Health and the Danish daily Politiken will address the mystery of the obesity epidemic and discuss preventive solutions.
Participant from the Centre: Morten Grønbæk

Pernille Bonne Neisig, Public Affairs Manager, Salling Group,

Thursday 13 June: Denmark's Wildest Solutions
Denmark's Wildest Solutions: Wild problems require wild solutions. Solutions that you can meet when three players talk about their big change projects that tackle one of society's wildest problems.
In front of a panel, we will be part of three wild examples that will show how their solution paves the way for lasting social change and discuss with the panel how to create even greater impact - and who knows, perhaps these wild projects can be used to solve other social problems?
