Consider this the first coronavirus-related episode of Archipelago.

To mark the reopening of nurseries, kindergartens and primary schools after a month-long lockdown, this episode also goes back to class.

In part one, we visit Trekroner Børnehus, a kindergarten outside Roskilde, to hear about Sangglad — a scheme to "increase and improve" singing in Danish pre-schools.

Then we head to Horsens Prison Museum, in Jutland, to discover how a notorious jail has been transformed into a popular tourist attraction — and the ideal antidote for anyone craving a different kind of quarantine.
