From Jyllands Posten: Prismodtager brændte Mary og Rønn af

Mary handed out the Integration Prizes of the year to people and organisations who has been instrumental in helping with integration in Denmark.

One of the recipients, Nahid Yazdanyar, refused to attend and to accept the prize as a protest against the government's integration policy.
She was very honored to be recommended for the prize, but she would not accept it.
Instead Zaki Omar, who is seen in the picture with Mary, recieved the prize on his own and Nahd Tazdanyar's behalf.
No explanation was given to the audience.

In the box are the names of the recipients.

As this is a political matter, it does not involve Mary, but the Minister for Integration Birthe Rønn Hornbech. Mary is basically only mentioned en passant.

Very interesting. As far as I know Denmark has very strict regulations regarding immigrants. Very brave from that lady not to accept the price and a good statement. Sometimes I regret that royals can't comment on issues like this. I would like to know the opinion of Princess Mary. She is an immigrant herself, of course a privileged one. But still, it would be interesting to know how she perceives the Danish laws on immigration and integration.

Interesting to hear, Muhler, thanks for sharing! And I agree with you Naggi,
would have been interesting to get a comment on that of Mary. But it's
of course a sensitive topic.


Here are some additions:

Mary looked great, loved her hair style.
How many winners were there?

Mary's comment would be interesting to know but sometimes its good not to get involved in the politics since every word you say will be held against you in a good or bad way.

[Muhler]

Mary is wise to stay well clear of politics.

Anyway, here is a gallery and four clips from Fyens Stiftstidende Mary til sprogundervisning i Odense - fyens.dk - Odense

Mary visited the langage centre there, under Danish Refugee Council. Here refugees are taught Danish and about the Danish society.

150 people from a lot a nationalities were standing to meet the now visibly pretty heavily pregnant Crown Princess when she arrived at 11.00.
Among them the mandatory flowergirl, in the shape of eight year old Berfin Khalo. Mary also got a rose from three year old Aslak.
Mary and her LiW, Tanjo Doky, followed the Danish lessons at the centre from 11.00-13.00.

Kronprinsessen i Lærdansk-quiz - fyens.dk - Odense
That the lessons are not on the: See, a cow. See, a bird -level, was something Mary learned first hand when she was teamed up with Sandra. They got the task of explaining the word: Sundhedskampagne = Healthcare campaign. Oookay!

It is perhaps not a surprise that a considerable number of those who follow Mary and her family vividly, are to be found among the immigrants and refugees.

ADDED:
A link to a BB article about Mary's visit: http://www.billedbladet.dk/Kongelige...lebaenken.aspx With a gallery of a visibly quite pregnant Mary.

Thank you, Iceflower

A nice initiative.

This is a project aimed at occupying mentally handicapped. In this case they will serve as a kind of foresters assistents in Boserup Forest near the town of Roskilde.
Mary personally handed out a number of name tags to the new and proud assistents.
Among them Walther Christensen, who had never met Mary before, even though he follow her in the magazines. He incidentally grilled a sausage for her over a fire. He works in or in connection with the forest four days a week. (*)

Also present at this event was the mayor of Roskilde and Minister for Environment, Karen Ellemann.

The article offer no explanation for the presence of the many children.

(*) There are many such projects for mentally handicapped in DK. I've worked in connection with one such project myself some twenty years ago. They are of course paid a decent salary. In some cases they live in a sort of commune in connection with the project they are attached.
They are in every respect wonderful co-workers. And certainly not without a good deal of humour.
One, a really nice guy, was in charge of cleaning some toilets. And he took his time doing that... Anyway, at some point a man, a tourist complained to him loudly (while I was hiding behind a shed and enjoyed the scene). Our guy simply stared at the tourist with the most idiotic expression imaginable on his face, until the tourist turned on his heels and stormed away. After which our guy quietly resumed his work as if nothing had happened.
I've also had the pleasure of riding on a bus on the way to my work, with other mentally handicapped, who were also on their way to work or a project. They have a lot of common sense and it was always a positive experience. - I sometimes wonder if we lock up the wrong people in the nut-houses....

Thanks for your additions, Muhler! As the children were local schoolchildren,
I had thought that it's maybe planned to have guided tours for (school)children
with the new nature guides and therefore some have already been invited,
but that's just a guess..

Here's another article with a few pics:
