Miss Denmark

Nicoline Qvortrup

Profession:
Teacher

Environmental Concern:
I would start a campaign that would make people all over the world conscious about the consequences that our merciless use of mother earth’s resources. I would try to make everyone a little more concerned about the environment in their everyday life. That could make a huge difference.

What makes you proud of your country:
I'm proud of the very old history of Denmark. From the Vikings till now, our country has always been called Denmark, and my people have always fought for the right to be Danish even though my country is small, we have our own language, history, culture, and values. We have many beautiful and very old monuments in Denmark e.g. in Ribe that is the oldest city in Denmark. It has been there since the early middle-age, and walking in that city is like a journey back in time. Other than that we have great nature and huge, fabulous beaches, which are used for long walks in the winter and great swims in the summer. My country is very clean and safe. I’m proud of my country because Danish people are all quite close to being equal compared to many other countries. Nobody is really poor, and everyone can get free help if needed. Students get free financial support from the government, in our society we take care of one another. I’m proud that we give one og the world’s highest aids per citizen to developing countries in the world. I’m proud that Danish people in general are concerned about our environment, and we spend a lot of money on environmental projects. I’m proud that we have democracy and that Danish people value the vote and thereby the voice they have been given. I think my country is close to an ideal country.
