LO-skolen has more than 1.000 pieces of modern Danish art.The participants had the opportunity to study the exposed paintings, sculptures and others on a guided tour around LO-skolen.
Betty Quast
Betty participated in Forum as a German delegate. The location of the Forum at Elsinore, with its vicinity of Kronborg castle, the setting of Shakespeare’s famous play, were so inspiring to Betty that on the ferry back to Germany, she started writing a set of poems about Hamlet and Ophelia, called “Helsingør”.
We are thankful that she allowed us to use them in this publication.
As it turned out that Betty furthermore is a gifted singer and music composer, we are delighted to contribute a sample of her music here too:
All rights stay with the author.
