OBJECTIVES: The aim of this qualitative study was to examine the lived experience of Eritrean
refugee parents in Denmark. The study addresses the journey of refugee parents from Eritrea to
Denmark, where the existential threats that prompted their original migration as refugees have
been replaced by challenges which among others relate to parenting. There is limited research
addressing the parenting experiences of Eritrean families in Denmark. THEORETICAL BASE:
The overall theoretical framework for the study is grounded in a phenomenological perspective
and uses a narrative model to address the research question. The information contained in the
narratives of lived experience aims to help understand how Eritrean parents have made meaning
of their lived experiences, relating these to past, present and future perceptions. METHODS:
The study uses co-creation with representatives from the Eritrean Community as central to the
qualitative research methodology. OUTCOMES: The themes emerging from the study related
to the loss to their children of the Eritrean religion and language. Multiple subthemes emerged
in the study, adding to the mosaic of positive life-experiences for Eritrean parents settling in
Denmark. SOCIAL WORK IMPLICATIONS: The study will potentially inform social work
practice supporting the positive integration of Eritrean families in Denmark.
