“…However, the general conclusion is that Danes living in Nørrebro, where they have frequent daily interaction with individuals from immigrant minorities, are far less biased towards immigrants than Danes living in provincial towns and areas. Similar results have been demonstrated in the Netherlands and UK (Hartmann and Husband, 1974) and by Frølund Thomsen (2012) and Rafiqi and Frølund Thomsen (2014), who emphasise the importance of neighbourhood and workplace interactions in particular in terms of the majority's tolerance towards minorities. It therefore seems to be a quite well -supported hypothesis that the two -way communication bridge both assumes and furthers recognition.…”

The aim of this article is to analyze the discrepancies between certain aspects of living conditions of ethnic Danes and immigrants in Copenhagen. Copenhagen is quite prosperous and fares well in the globalized economy but is at the same time experiencing increasing poverty and ethnic segregation. Differences in income have increased spatial segregation in Copenhagen in terms of housing and education. This segregation is most visible in relation to highly educated Danes and immigrants from non-Western countries. The article first examines poverty at household level and its spatial dimensions. Secondly, it considers other living conditions (for example social networks). Thirdly, it explores immigrants' experiences of, among other things, education, employment and citizenship. It concludes that social cohesion in Copenhagen may be threatened if this segregation continues.

“…Our findings show a change among the mentors towards a better understanding and awareness of their own attitudes and prejudices. Rafiqi and Frølund Thomsen (2014) confirm that positive contact with immigrants weakens the majority population's negative stereotypes of ethnic minorities, leading to increased empathy and reduced anxiety when meeting the immigrant population. Furthermore, Kunst et al (2015) claim that a sense of common identity with immigrants relates directly to how positive the majority population are to integration.…”

PurposeThis study aimed to identify and describe how mentoring influences the mentor, by operationalising and specifying learning outcomes involved in mentoring.Design/methodology/approachThis study used an action research approach, by uniting theory and practice to explore new ways of learning and evolve the field of practice in education. Thematic analysis was used to identify and organise patterns or themes that emerged from the data.FindingsThe results showed that mentoring changed the mentors' perspectives towards improved understanding, more flexibility and approval of other cultures. It seems that mentoring expanded the mentors' search for values, wishes and resources, including an awareness that our values, wishes and needs are more similar than different. Mentoring also seems to have improved the ability to reformulate, be flexible, strive to optimise user engagement and engage with people as they are, based on their own prerequisites.Research limitations/implicationsThe low number of participants means the results cannot be generalised, and voluntary participation may have led to more motivated involvement and positive results.Practical implicationsThis study shows that mentoring has had an impact on students' development of intercultural competence and cultural sensitivity through regular meetings with individuals from a different cultural background. Mentoring seems to have revealed insights into underlying prejudices and changed perspectives towards better understanding, thus increased acceptance of other cultures.Originality/valueSearch for similar studies shows a lack of research that operationalises and specifies the learning outcomes that mentors gain from being a mentor.
