As international worker in Aarhus since 2019 (as professor at AU, also working professionally in related fields), I appreciate the strategy as continuation of already existing initiatives to welcome foreign workers at Aarhus, which already distinguishes Aarhus from other destinations (when in 2003 I moved to the UK, my work place before coming here, there was no such reception and welcome offer and support at all).
The strategy rightly identifies central issues about the initial "setting up" (long waiting times for registration, difficulties to open bank accounts, etc.) to be addressed. At a second step, however, once arrived and administratively settled, I am rather disappointed to see the lack of imagination and effort in identifying the already existing cultural infrastructure of Aarhus as crucial potential facilitator in order to assist with further integration and to create a positive identification and also cultural "home feeling" at Aarhus. Only recently, Aarhus kommune investigated the great relevance in cultural and fritids activities have for its citizen. Sections 4 and 5 address, however, only specific issues without thinking these together with the cultural opportunities offered in Aarhus: there is focus on language learning in classes, and specific events and associations for foreign citizen. There could be a more imaginative vision and approach. Language learning also and, I would argue, even more so happens outside language schools precisely through engagement in existing cultural infrastructure, for instance by visiting the theatre. Money would be perfectly spent incentivising f.ex. local theatres to offer a certain number of their performances with English subtitles (look e.g. at Berlin, where this has become the norm for almost each performance, targeting both tourists and international locals). This supports language learning as much as social contacts with Danes, and creates cultural integration and identification. Equally, one might also support regular international guest performances with Danish surtitles, again to establish points of contact, integration and identification (e.g. rethinking ILT festival also as hub for the Aarhus international culture present in this city). I would advise considering more imaginatively for this purpose links with the city's existing cultural infrastructure. I am concerned to see a focus in the strategy about creating just specific events exclusively for internationals, and singling them out in this way. This is precisely the continuous problems we internationals face! From my, also faglig perspective, this is not what I recommend as focus for the integration phase after arrival.

Two further, unrelated comments to different sections:
- Section 7: While a personal contact may be desirable, I would advise considering latest technology (KI, bots, videos) as much important first contact point to offer support with public authority issues, which can be available 24/7 online. People look for immediate answers and support for 360-degree guidance - the hurdle of going and seeking out advice at a place is what you should get rid of, and prioritise the immediate and easy available of such support though the use of current advanced digital media and interaction technologies. This should be trialed as 21st century initiative and vision.

Section 8 on International Students: These are "nice to have" visions and ideas, which totally overlook the situation that the sector dimensioning and KA reform enforced by the government will, over the coming years, lead to a significant reduction in offers for foreign students, while also making the Danish HE education much less attractive for international students. There is no more incentive at all in the current government plans imposed on universities for the engagement and attraction of international students, to the contrary even a disincentive and implicit demand to prioritise Danish students. Your vision assumes the number of international students as a given, whereas political intervention in the universities' offering over the next years will lead to a significant, politically enforced reduction of this number. This section appears to me founded on wishful thinking ideas that may not result from evidence based engagement with the actual situation of international students, and engagement with the Universities' own initiatives as well as enforced political demands.
