Necessary technical changes have been made, so that DNBF now has two different newsletters. 'DNBF Event' is a newsletter that comes out 5-10 times a year about our activities and events. 'DNBF News' is published between 30-50 times a year and will be news in general – about the society, inspiration, books, equality, articles, etc.

You can choose which newsletters and languages by going to the website:
