ANNUAL REPORTS

Lejre Land of Legends is a non-profit organization that communicates, researches and teaches about our common past. Part of the operation is paid for by grants from the Ministry of Education and Lejre Municipality, but the main part is the income from your ticket. Therefore, it is you as a guest who ensures that Land of Legends can open its doors to extraordinary family experiences again next year.
THE LAND OF LEGEND’s activities are part of a cycle consisting of three core areas: Research, Dissemination & Education. In the cycle, research provides new knowledge, which is communicated in the teaching situation with school students and in the communication in the daily meeting with the guests
SAGNLANDET LEJRE’s research-based communication gives students and the public understanding and insight when we translate new knowledge from the world of research into tangible experiences and activities that children and adults can participate in themselves.
Ideally, the encounter between employee and guest is the starting point for a dialog, which in turn generates new knowledge and insights for both parties.
This intersection between research, teaching and outreach inspires new questions to be asked of research to provide new answers and new outreach experiences and activities.
Conducting commercial activities in all areas creates an economic basis for maintaining the circuit. Sales of prehistoric family and camp school stays, team building courses, meetings, conferences, business club memberships, historical souvenirs in the Shop, Pottery, Costume Workshop, Blacksmith Shop and historically inspired dishes in the Cafe contribute to this. All services are incorporated into Sagnlandet’s cultural-historical communication and framework.
SAGNLANDET LEJRE’s cycle is in motion ..
