Threat and trophy at the same time!

What does it mean, as a Danish female manager, to be subject to exclusively male boards. Middle Eastern Male Boards.
Line Vincentz Mansour gives a lecture about 'surviving' and having to fight for his beliefs, values and goals on a daily basis - also with culture and language as eternal noise nuisances. About constantly having to prove your worth and working side by side with hidden agendas. About what it does to a person to be measured and weighed daily?
About having to cooperate despite the other party's lack of competence to hold the assigned post and deliberate misunderstanding/exploitation of the 'board concept'.
About making use of her 'female masculinity' and at the same time insisting on high heels and colorful matching outfits.
And not least about having fun with people's reactions to a Danish female leader!

Discrimination

Integration

Cultural differences

Female leadership

Identity

Line has extensive experience, knowledge and networks within topics such as identity, integration, anti-radicalisation, discrimination, citizenship, parental cooperation, gang environment, crime prevention work, democracy and education, and is therefore used as a consultant and advisor by public administrations, authorities and private individuals. Line also sits on various boards and groups with a focus on the above. These include Danmission, PET Outreach – prevention centre, Danish Free School Association, Tro i Harmoni and others. Line also works as a debater and external lecturer.

Line Mansour is educated Cand.Ling.Merc. – Translator and interpreter from CBS in 2006. Was then employed for 10 years at a large Muslim independent school in Copenhagen, initially as a teacher, then as headmaster. Has since worked as a project manager for private, charitable companies, e.g. CFE – Center for Prevention of Exclusion and the Exit Circle.



How can a highly educated Danish woman turn her back on her country, society and origin? Just like that? But was that really what happened? Or do I fully exercise my free Danish democratic rights? And isn't it really a private matter?

A lecture about waking up to being society's enemy no.1 from one day to the next. About feeling foreign and unwelcome in one's own country. About having to be confronted daily with people's loud opinions about you and your scarf. About a decade of daily harassment. About being called a 'terrorist' and experiencing people switching to the opposite pavement when they see you coming towards them. About reactions to the headscarf in close relationships. About threats to life, about doors that open/close, about carrying one's 'burden' with a smile, about strength, humor and not least devotion. And about feeling more Danish than ever before!

A tale of always feeling different. A life characterized by always being the 'only one' - always being 'out of category' and never fitting in completely according to Line Vincentz Mansour.
About going one's own way - whatever it takes on a journey that will probably never end...


Out of category - being a Danish convert... for better or for worse

Cooperation

A reality that few people know about. A reality where every day was a day of battle for everyone involved. Where discipline, respect, rules and consistency were paramount. A reality where you never knew what the next day would bring - only that it would most likely not go as you had so hopefully planned. One thing was certain though: it was never boring...

Line Vincentz Mansour gives a lecture on running a multicultural, multilingual Danish free school (better known as a Muslim free school). In one of Copenhagen's most congested areas. What leadership style do you use when everything seems chaotic? When you have to take into account trauma, lack of language and social skills and at the same time achieve professional results with a ministry constantly breathing down your neck? When topics such as integration, education, identity, discrimination and citizenship reach a completely third dimension.

How do you navigate a cultural mix of rank, when at the same time you 'just' want to run an ordinary Danish school? - with the police as the closest cooperation partner, of course. How do you best guide in the intersection between parent and student, who literally live in separate worlds – if not separate countries? How do you assure time and time again stigmatized students that Denmark is a free country and that there is also room for them? How do you keep a staff that is confronted daily with tragic fates, even if they are 'merely' employed to teach?

A story about how good it can be when it succeeds - And how bad it hurts when everyday life fails.
My school – my heart child and my pain child.
