🏫 New to the Danish school system?
The Danish approach to learning may be different from what you know from your home country. What are teachers' expectations of parents? How do children learn in Danish schools? And how can you best support your child's school journey in Denmark?
Join us for an informative evening about Danish school culture, learning styles, parent involvement, and everyday life in the Danish Folkeskole.
You'll also have the opportunity to meet Esbjerg Municipality's bilingual school consultants.

We will focus on reactions to change and on culture shock as explanation to why some situations feel confusing, frustrating, or unexpectedly rewarding.
