Belonging in Norway
As part of the very first Norway Welcome Week, we invite you to an evening conversation about what it means to build a sense of belonging in a new place.
Moving to a new country can be exciting, but also challenging. Finding community, building friendships, and understanding local culture takes time. At the same time, creating welcoming spaces is something that involves both newcomers and the communities around them.
This kickoff event brings together a small group of speakers and community members to reflect on questions like:
What helps people feel at home in Norway?
How do friendships and communities form across cultures?
What role can locals, organizations, and communities play in welcoming newcomers?
After a short moderated conversation, we’ll open the evening for informal discussion and mingling.
Whether you're new to Norway or have lived here for years, this event is an opportunity to connect with others and start Welcome Week together!
