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.
