Denmark

Denmark intro

Denmark was the first country to pilot Zippy’s Friends, with programmes in Copenhagen and the central island of Fyn back in 1998-99. Those trials led to the programme being substantially revised, before a further, very successful pilot in Denmark and Lithuania in 2000-01.

Odense Socialpaedagogiske Seminarium is a teacher training institution with a long tradition of teaching educators and of working with social education. It was involved with both the pilots of Zippys Venner in Denmark, and is now responsible for running the programme. Nearly 500 teachers on Fyn have been trained to deliver Zippy’s Venner.
