Rapolitics is a nonprofit organization founded in Denmark. Since 2009, they have worked with rap and other urban art forms, democratic awareness, citizenship, and social dialogue among young people. Their vision is to support young people in expressing themselves and taking action. They meet young people on their terms and use hip-hop to connect topics to their worldview.

They achieve this by organizing workshops in schools, high schools, youth clubs, and other institutions, bringing the conversation directly to where young people are. In addition to workshops, they develop informative and engaging projects, host events that raise awareness about political issues (freedom of speech, tolerance, general human rights, and more), and spread progressive messages through rap and hip-hop. Rapolitics also functions as a label and a publishing house, releasing works focused on social change.

The first Bilka store opened back in 1970 in Tilst, just outside Aarhus. Today there are 18 stores throughout Denmark. Bilka’s philosophy is quite simple: quality at a low price, good customer service and skilled employees. Bilka is the only hypermarket in the country, which is why they have the biggest product selection. A hypermarket is a store that combines a grocery store and a department store.

Dansk Video Tekst (DVT) is the oldest subtitling company in Denmark. Since 1981 DVT has translated and subtitled thousands of films and TV series.

Subtitling is a difficult and demanding discipline. When translating from one language to another, the subtitler must take both cultural and linguistic diversities into consideration. In collaboration with other Danish subtitling companies, Dansk Video Tekst has agreed on a set of guidelines for subtitling. You can read the full set of guidelines on undertekstning.dk/english. Some of the rules are:

• The translation should sound natural.
• The meaning should be intact (which is more important than translating each word).
• The translation should be as formal or informal as the spoken words.
• There is a limit of 40 characters per line (the viewer only has a short amount of time to read the subtitle before it changes).
