It´s hard to be an immigrant

By: Christian Boesen Nielsen, Jeppe Toft

it is a dangerous trip to a new country and a lot dies before they arrieve and that is why a lot loss their family. It´s a hard weekday for many people in the world. These immigrants have not that life, the most people have. These immigrants are running away from a country to another. The most have no money, and when they come to a country, it is hard to get a job there. Because, if you don´t speak the languages, people won´t give you a job. the job an immigrant can get is the jobs, which no of the other people want to do, for expample house cleaning and farmer jobs, it is normally low wage jobs. Immigrants can live with a "new family", but other immigrants live in camps, with immigrations.

Refugee camps
Written by: Laura and Natasja 

A refugee temporary camp is a camp that housess refeguees and people in refugee-like situations. It´s mostly displaced persons who have fled their home country, who live in refugee camps, but there are also camps for internally displaced persons. Usually refugees seek asylum after they escape to a new country. But there are also camps for environmental- and economic migrants, who are forced to leave their home, because of environmental or economic changes.

Refugee camps are usually built and run by a goverment or international organizations, but there are also unofficial camps like, idomeni in Greece, where refugees are left without support of goverment all international organizations. There are 2.6 millions refugees who live in camps, mostly when a person becomes a refugee they are likely to remain a refugee for many years, some nearly 2 decades.

There are many different cultures in the World. That can be a problem, when you immigrate to another country. For example, when you are a Muslim and immigrate to a non-Muslim country, it can cause complications. Because in the non-Muslim community, we do not share the same values. As an example, Muslims cannot eat pig, because they believe it is a dirty animal. So, if a Muslim immigrate to Denmark for example, they will probably have a problem, because we eat lots of pig in Denmark. Turned around, the Danes think it is a very strange behaviour that the Muslim women wear scarfs on their heads. That is because in Denmark, we think that it is very women oppressing, because they cannot do what they want or like to.

In Denmark we help the immigrants and refugees as good as we can. We have centres for the people who come here to get help, and they can live under at least better conditions than where they come from. When the two cultures meet, it can be with prejudge and scepticism. That can be if a Dane judge the immigrant because they for example do not speak the language. In this case Danish. To defend the immigrant, Danish is a very difficult language to learn. Especially if you have a lot of other things to think about too.

Economic migrant
Written by: Laura and Natasja 

An economic migrant is someone who emigrates, from a country, because of economic reasons. The term economic migrant is often confused whit the term refugee, but economic migrants leave their country because of bad economics conditions, not because of fear of persecution. On the basics of race, religion or ethnicity. Economic migrants are free to apply for asylum. Economic migrants can normally return home when they choose to, they will not face the persecution and will continue to receive the protection of their goverment. When 8 Eastern European country joined the EU, the UK received many economic migrants.

Trouble getting to a new country
There are many problems as an immigrant and moving to another country. An example is the Danish language. It is very hard to learn as a person who doesn’t know the letters Æ - ae, Ø - oe and Å - aa. They don’t know how to pronounce it because they don’t have those letters in their alphabet. When you don’t know how to speak Danish it’s very hard to get a social life. You can’t communicate with other people than those from your homeland, and people how speaks your language. You can’t either get a job, go to school or get friends, how is Danes. The culture in Denmark are nothing like the culture where immigrants come from. Many of the countries people who immigrants come from, wears scarf and is covered up. The Danes aren’t covered up with a scarf or something like that, so maybe the immigrants gets a little nervous about what the Danish people says to that to go covered up I the streets. If the immigrant is a Muslim, they also how to live with that there is pork on the shelves in all supermarkets and when they go to restaurants there in pork on the menu.



On Nordre Skole we have immigrants or children of immigrants. It is not very many, but there is some. It is about one immigrant in every classroom. It can be very hard to be the only one who is “different” or looks different. It is not necessarily the immigrants who have the hardest school time. It can be very challenging for a Danish child to visit an immigrant child because it is a very different environment, other values and food. When they come home, for the girls, they can take their scarf off their head and it is like they drop the mask. It can also be very exciting and interesting to visit another culture.

Danish immigrants​​​​​​ Written by: Signe Jette and Freja-Karina

'''Every year thousands of Danes immigrate to other countries. More than 22.000 well-educated Danes have immigrated every year over the past five years. That is more than 110.000 people, the same number as inhabitants in Aalborg city.'''

'''Since 1820 the first Danes began to immigrate to The United States, but most of them immigrated between 1880 and 1920. During this time, about 10% of the entire Danish population immigrated, which is more than today. The American government needed help to cultivate the land, so many people took the opportunity to get a better life. '''

'''150 years ago the Danes immigrated, especially to America, to get better salary and better job opportunities. Now people from Denmark mostly immigrate to get a higher education, and a better life standard. Another reason is that the salary typically gets higher, and the taxes gets lower.'''

'''But the immigration can be a good thing. Because statistically there are more Danes who move home, than people who immigrate.'''
