The tool is for elementary school students and is about the plight of unaccompanied minor asylum seekers (in Danish)
The new interactive roleplay "Deadline Athens," from Save the Child, Denmark, focuses on how 5.000 child refugees each year manages to arrive in Europe, and the conditions they face during and after their journey. Danish elementary school students can now become a child refugee; experience the difficult life in Athens, attempt the boat journey, and talk with authorities and experts in Denmark.
