things and the social life but when the
circumstances require it they also work
hard.

4. BACKGROUND
• Every year, between 100 and 150 children arrive in Denmark
unaccompanied.
• Socially vulnerable children get the opportunity to get away from
home for a while
• Bullying is worst among schoolchildren aged 10-14 years.
However, the problem can be addressed as early as the
preschool age and during the first years of primary school.
• Greenlandic children can enter a safe haven where home
problems are left at the door, with time for school homework and
socializing in a friendly atmosphere.
• More opportunities for young people to develop socially and
professionally are needed.
