Kontur student start festival, as we know it today, was launched in 2021 and has already become a flagship for Kolding's vision of uniting students and building bridges between education, culture, and business.<\/p>
With over 1500 participants from the city\u2019s higher education institutions, Kontur marks the beginning of the student life in Kolding. The festival is a collaborative initiative between Campus Kolding, educational institutions, Godset, and local stakeholders, aimed at giving new students an extraordinary experience.<\/p>
\u201cKontur is a fantastic platform to showcase Godset and give students a taste of the unique music scene we have here in Kolding. We are proud to be part of an initiative that puts culture and community at the center,\u201d<\/em> says Martin R\u00f8en Hansen, Head of Godset.<\/p>The festival is the result of a joint effort. By working together, we can create a bigger and better event than ever before. Godset oversees the execution, Campus Kolding handles coordination and promotion, while cultural institutions and volunteer organizations contribute with a variety of social activities.<\/p>
\u201cKontur is about community for students. Instead of hosting several smaller welcome events across Kolding, we combine our efforts to create one massive two-day festival for students, and the students truly appreciate that,\u201d<\/em> says Malu Uldall M\u00f8ller, Student City Coordinator.<\/p>","sticker":{"type":false,"color":false,"position":false}},{"acf_fc_layout":"blockTextImage","internalName":"\u00c5rets Initiativ: St\u00e6rkt studiemilj\u00f8","colorTheme":"pink","layout":"Text\/Image","outputType":"Default","image":4097,"text":"Enhancing the Study Environment<\/strong><\/h3>Kontur is more than just a festival \u2013 it\u2019s a platform that strengthens the city\u2019s cultural and creative environment, as well as its student life. By making the festival free of charge, all students have equal opportunities to join the community and take part in the many offerings and activities.<\/p>
Through our Open Call initiative, students in Kolding have the chance to perform as DJs on stage. This initiative celebrates the students, supports their talent development, and fosters the connection between student life and the city\u2019s cultural scene. In 2024, we had the pleasure of featuring Linnea Borch from SDU Kolding as one of our DJs.<\/p>
Among the festival\u2019s many collaborators, students also encounter local stakeholders in sustainability, well-being, and business, offering them a unique opportunity to discover and engage with the city\u2019s vibrant cultural life. This also provides a chance to find new communities and connections.<\/p>","sticker":{"type":false,"color":false,"position":false}},{"acf_fc_layout":"blockText","internalName":"\u00c5rets Initativ: hyldest til Kolding","colorTheme":"white","text":"
A tribute to Kolding<\/h3>
Kontur is a tribute to Kolding, creating value for both students and the city as a whole. By building connections between the municipality, educational institutions, and businesses, Kontur contributes to the positive development of Kolding while branding it as an attractive student city.<\/p>
\u201cKontur helps to brand Kolding as an appealing student city, even beyond the borders of Kolding Municipality. This includes inviting extra guests, allowing campus students to bring a friend along,\u201d<\/em> says Mikael Sorkn\u00e6s, Head of Campus Kolding.<\/p>Several of the city\u2019s local stakeholders are invited to engage with students, including Kolding Libraries, Food Reformers, Trapholt ArtMates, H\u00e5nd & \u00c5nd STUDIO, and more. Additionally, local businesses join in by offering one hour of free beer in collaboration with Business Kolding, which is a perfect opportunity to meet future talents, whether for student jobs or future recruitment.<\/p>
When the party ends, students are encouraged to explore the city, armed with festival wristbands that provide discounts and perks at local bars and nightclubs.<\/p>
The entire city of Kolding is therefore involved, when Kontur comes to life!<\/p>","sticker":{"type":"heart","color":"black","position":"top\/left"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"blockGallery","internalName":"\u00c5rets Initiativ: galleri","gallery":[1335,1334,1336]}],"seo":{"title":"Kontur won the initiative of the year","ogImage":"","metaDescription":"We are proud to share the exciting news that our student start festival Kontur won the Initiative of the Year 2024 by Business Kolding!"}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/campuskolding.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/7757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/campuskolding.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/campuskolding.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/campuskolding.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/7757\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7859,"href":"https:\/\/campuskolding.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/7757\/revisions\/7859"}],"acf:term":[{"embeddable":true,"taxonomy":"hashtag","href":"https:\/\/campuskolding.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag\/31"},{"embeddable":true,"taxonomy":"hashtag","href":"https:\/\/campuskolding.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag\/30"},{"embeddable":true,"taxonomy":"hashtag","href":"https:\/\/campuskolding.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag\/34"},{"embeddable":true,"taxonomy":"hashtag","href":"https:\/\/campuskolding.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag\/10"},{"embeddable":true,"taxonomy":"hashtag","href":"https:\/\/campuskolding.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag\/7"},{"embeddable":true,"taxonomy":"hashtag","href":"https:\/\/campuskolding.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag\/6"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/campuskolding.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/campuskolding.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/campuskolding.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=7757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
