The Worktrotter's Guide to Denmark

The guide has been published in English and German in 2009. It is written from the angle of foreigners who need more and detailed explanations on the country, the etiquette, how-to's and advice in general. It is a practical guide, a handbook really. It helps to feel more in control of your new life, have a smoother transition - and above all, it enables you to make more out of your life in Denmark. Read more about this topic.

Free school choice

CLAVIS and Worktrotter (representing in total more than 4,000 international professionals) went into a meeting of the parliamentary commission for integration and stood up for newcomers to still have a free choice on the language school they learn Danish at. Read more about this topic.

Virtual panel

Together with welcometo.dk we have involved the leaders of various expat groups,who are now on the virtual panel of the welcometo.dk project, giving feedback on planned integration activities of the kommunes.
