Meet the Internationals of Aalborg

🌍 A City of Stories

Aalborg is full of people with stories you’ve never heard—engineers from India, students from Ukraine, nurses from the Philippines, entrepreneurs from Romania, researchers from Iran, and families from Poland, Syria, and beyond.

They are not just residents. They are Aalborg. This page is a tribute to them, to you, and to the richness internationals bring to our city every day.

📸 Meet the People Behind the Numbers

Explore portraits and short stories from internationals living, working, and thriving in Aalborg. Some have just arrived. Others have been here for 20 years. All of them belong.

❤️ Why This Matters

This campaign is not just about winning a seat. It’s about changing the narrative.
For too long, internationals have been invisible in public life. This page is proof:
We’re here. We contribute. We belong.
