Chipawo Zimbabwe manager Chipo Basopo told NewsDay that the Danish students would be exposed to Zimbabwean culture.
“Children from Denmark will be visiting areas of historical significance and heritage sites found in Harare, Bulawayo and Victoria Falls,” she said.
There will also be performances at Long Cheng Plaza and Mbare in Harare as well as in Bulawayo and Victoria Falls.
The exchange programme was bankrolled by the Culture Fund in partnership with the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Chipawo will present a play titled Living Dream and Denmark will present Everybody Has a Dream and What’s Your Dream?
Basopo said the exchange programme came about when children from Chipawo attended the 14th World Festival of Children’s Theatre in Lingen, Germany.
