Instructions

The character named Peter will help you get introduced to the work landscape in Denmark. You can choose one of the three characters—whether you’re a non-EU or EU applicant or the third character, meaning you have some specific questions.

For the purpose of showcasing how it works, Peter is going to represent a potential applicant from EU. In order to progress through the pages, you have to help Peter collect the three badges: a pin, a laptop and a book. Each element contains different and relevant information that will be useful when applying for jobs.
