Understanding the people arriving in a new community begins with understanding where they come from. Last week, IOM Norway’s Country Information Seminar (CIS) brought together participants from municipalities across Øvre Romerike in Ullensaker, offering them an opportunity to explore South Sudan beyond the headlines, with insights into its culture, traditions, religious landscape and social context.
In collaboration with Integrerings- og mangfoldsdirektoratet - IMDi, IOM offers free country information seminars, both online and in person, for municipalities hosting resettled refugees. The seminars offer relevant information on the countries of origin and cultural backgrounds of newly arrived refugees, helping municipal staff better understand their experiences and support their integration into local communities.
Municipalities interested in hosting an in-person seminar are welcome to contact IOM Norway. The next virtual seminars will take place in September.
