At the National Museum of Denmark celebrations of the centenary drew attention to animportant historical event, with the aid of new communication initiatives thatgave the participants a new and different kind of opportunity to experiencehistory up close. By using various means of communication and involvinga variety of target groups, the museum highlighted the importance of the Constitution of1915 and raised the issue of present-day democracy. The reflection that democracyis not something that is introduced overnight, and does not necessarily applyto everyone from the beginning, was an important element in the NationalMuseum of Denmark’s celebration. In the educational event called "Oh, Brave New World – What amI To Do With Democracy?" the museum gathered 600 high school students in an interactional eventwith politicians, writers and speakers, and presented them with thestory of the development of democracy in Denmark. The pupils wereurged to take a critical view of their own role in society and to express views onwhether the voting age of 18 today is reasonable. The National Museum of Denmarkalso marked the centenary of the change in the Constitution of 1915 with participationin a suffrage march through the streets of Copenhagen, which,like the suffrage march of 5th June 1915, celebrated women’s achievementof voting rights to Parliament and thus brought history to life for a day.
