The first DAYS was held in 1986 and throughout the years more than 1000 students have had the opportunity to take part in DAYS.
The seminar is organized jointly by staff at the Secretariat of the Danish Atlantic Treaty Association (DATA) and volunteering members of the Youth Committee.
The objective of DAYS is both educational and social. This means that the programme of DAYS consists of a mixture of lectures, workshops, debates, excursions and social gatherings. The overall educational goal of the seminar is to discuss and debate issues concerning European, global and international security. Each year a new subject within this sphere forms the leitmotif of the seminar.
