Peer Group for foreigners working in Denmark
Thriving as an international professional in Denmark
As an international professional in Denmark, language and culture can influence both your career and daily work life. IDA’s peer group offers a space to share experiences and gain insights from other international IDA members. With similar educational backgrounds, participants understand each other’s professional challenges and career paths. The facilitated meetings provide opportunities for feedback, networking, and mutual support.
Topics range from career development and workplace relations to navigating the Danish labour market.

You choose the themes
The peer group takes a point of departure in cases from your working lives and careers. Our tools are mentoring and discussion, case work and visits from external experts who can contribute with new methods. Your interests serve as the foundation for the peer group, and you can contribute with ideas for subjects, cases or presentations that facilitate a constructive conversation at the group meetings. The group is confidential and a safe space for you to discuss current challenges with like-minded individuals who are not personally invested in your workplace.

- Language barriers and intercultural (mis)communication
- Navigating the corporate structure of a foreign culture
