13. • “My father has passed away, but my mother
supports me and my siblings, in that we
should have an education. But it is difficult for
her to help me properly. She’s only been to
school for 5 years in Somalia”.
(Nasrin, 19 years, Somali background)

14. “I experience a great deal of insecurity in
my life. I know I will never be able to
return to my motherland, but what if I
don’t make it here in Denmark. What will
become of me then?”
(Miriam, 18 years, Iraqi background)

“ Mentoring is a dynamic relationship
between a mentor and a
mentee, which contributes towards
including exposed and marginalised
adolescents, making them self-
determining in a qualified
manner”
(Birte Kaiser Et.al. “Den reflekterende mentor”, 2009)

manner

Professionel life skills and social

25. New ways …
The mentees are happy about the concept itself
and what they profit from it (mentoring, events
and network), especially the experience of being
part of a new group - of having a new
reference group. They meet a lot of
Danish women and this strengthens their sense
of female identity and shows them different
opportunities of combining job and family life.
