TALK & DEBATE | Word Festival 2026

Word Festival celebrates the power of words – boldly, sharply, and curiously. Look forward to a few days filled with voices from Denmark and abroad, with talks, debates, and ideas that move you. Meet authors, thinkers, and cultural figures who dare to speak their minds – and who are open to learning alongside the audience. It’s all about words that open worlds, ask questions, and spark conversations you didn’t know you were missing. You’ll leave with ideas, perspectives, and dialogues that stay with you long after the final word is spoken.
