AOF Cancels Copenhagen Talk After Speaker Takes US Job

The Danish adult school AOF cancelled a public talk in Copenhagen. Former TV 2 host Sofie Rud was going to speak. She took a new job at the US Embassy in Copenhagen. She will work there as a Political Specialist.

AOF cancelled the event to stay neutral. This choice started a public debate in Denmark. People are talking about rules for public speakers. AOF wants to keep clear boundaries for all its public talks.

AOF is a large evening school group in Denmark. Many foreign residents in Copenhagen take night classes at AOF. These schools offer language lessons, lectures, and creative workshops across the city.

Danish evening schools receive public funding. Because of this, they must stay politically neutral. When a speaker takes a new state or embassy job, plans may change quickly.
