How it works
Showing up can be the hardest part. We made the rest easy!
Moving to a new place can be exciting, but can also be lonely. Many people arrive in Norway without knowing anyone, where to find community, or how to get involved. Welcome Week exists to make those connections easier.
Have something you'd like to share with your community? Welcome Week is still growing, and there's still time to add an event to the program.
What to expect
Your kind of week, whatever that looks like:
☕ Social
Come for the activity, stay for the conversation. Welcome Week is designed to make meeting someone new a little easier.
🥾 Outdoor
Get outside, experience your surroundings, and discover your city and region with other people.
💼 Professional
Connect beyond the usual networking bubble and meet people, organizations and communities doing interesting things around you.
🎨 Cultural
