SUMMARY:(Moved to the Swiss club) Book presentation and Q&A: Becoming Danish – A 12 Month Exchange A Lifetime Legacy
DESCRIPTION:The Event\nAttending the Danish Club for one night only on Thursday 15 January 2026\, John\nCampbell will be sharing some of the stories from his book\, Becoming Danish – A 12 Month\nExchange A Lifetime Legacy. He will hold a Q&A session and have a supply of books\navailable for purchase (which he will gladly sign). Come along and hear how his exchange\nwas not only an extraordinary year\, but a true lifetime legacy which has included him\nenjoying the company of HRH King Frederik and HRH Queen Mary at a Royal Cocktail\nParty. \nThe Book\nWhat if one year could change everything?\nThousands of young people embark on youth exchange every year and their personal growth\nand development is brought about by an enormously vast array of experiences – both good\nand bad. They laugh\, they cry\, they make mistakes and they achieve amazing things. They\ngain a profound understanding of humanity\, and they learn diplomacy and respect for other\ncultures. The innocence of youth evolves to create truly world citizens.\nAt just seventeen\, John Campbell boarded a plane from Australia to Denmark\, expecting an\nadventure — but what he found was a life-shaping journey that would stay with him forever.\nImmersed in a vibrant new culture\, John navigates the excitement and challenges of living\nwith host families\, adapting to Danish customs\, attending a Danish high school and\ndiscovering courage he never knew he had. From hilarious misunderstandings to moments of\ndeep connection\, Becoming Danish is a captivating celebration of growth\, resilience\, and the\npower of cultural exchange.\nPerfect for travellers\, dreamers\, and anyone who’s ever wondered what happens when you\nsay “yes” to the unknown\, Becoming Danish invites you into a heartwarming\, transformative\nstory that proves the world is bigger\, kinder\, and more connected than we imagine. This is not\njust a memoir — it’s a legacy.\nThe book will be available to purchase for $25 \nThe Author\nJohn Campbell is an Australian author\, lawyer and mediator. He is also a former exchange\nstudent whose life was forever shaped by a transformative year in Denmark during the early\n1990s. Driven by a passion for cultural connection and global citizenship\, he brings warmth\,\nhonesty\, and vivid storytelling to his memoir Becoming Danish. John has spent decades\nmentoring young people pursuing exchange opportunities for themselves and has hosted 25\nexchange students in his home. When he isn’t writing\, he enjoys travelling and sharing the\nlessons of his journey with audiences worldwide. Becoming Danish is his debut book.
