What Are You Doing in Denmark?

32 | Moving to Denmark as a child and the political challenges for foreigners in Denmark


Listen Later

Lyndsay Jensen, the founder and editor of The International, is back in the studio with Annie and Derek to talk about the political changes in how foreigners in Denmark are treated and perceived. She recently spoke at Folkemødet on the needs of internationals living in Denmark and their important place in the Danish economy and society at large.


In the discussion, Lyndsay references her eldest son, Connor, who moved to Denmark as a child and has been shaped by multiple cultures throughout his life. It seemed only right to have Connor join the conversation and share his experiences with teenage drinking, learning Danish and transitioning into the education system, and the cultural differences he experienced when inviting friends to his home as a kid.


The conversation was eye-opening to Annie who moved her oldest sons to Denmark and is going through many of these changes in real time. 


Don’t forget to share this podcast with any friends who have made the move to Denmark.
