DRC Headquarters is moving to a new location in Copenhagen

After four decades at the center of Copenhagen we are moving the Danish Refugee Council’s Headquarters to a new location on Østerbro in Copenhagen to be able to create a house of like-minded NGO’s in the recently established VOX – a multi-tenant hub that will embrace both small grassroots initiatives and larger international NGOs.  

The move also includes our Volunteer house in DRC Integration, previously located on Hejrevej, and Asylum & Repatriation, that supports asylum seekers with counselling.  All volunteers and guests will be moving with us to Lyngbyvej 100.  

“With this move we hope to create an inclusive and flexible workplace that will help us enhance our support for refugees across the world and in Denmark. With modern office spaces and common areas, VOX offers us an inspiring environment for both our employees, volunteers and guests. We are grateful that this opportunity came up, and we are looking forward to welcoming both colleagues and guests from 1st of October in the new location”, says Mads Egeskov Sørensen, Executive Director for People & Organization in DRC.  

While sharing costs for common spaces like canteen, meeting rooms and other facilities, we are with the shared office community also able to increase well-being for our employees due to better workplace standards and workplace environment.  

Currently, 12 organisations have joined VOX, including our youth organization DFUNK. We will all work to create a vibrant and sustainable workplace in a fully renovated building, owned by KIRKBI, where sustainability is a key element. With room for up to 800 people, VOX is a platform for collective impact and a visible testament to the vital role of civil society, both locally and globally.
