What we do
We support immigrant families, children and youth to thrive!
We co-create and co-lead projects with people of immigrant background, by providing the essential resources they identify with. Together we empower particularly African immigrants and those of other backgrounds to shape their own futures.
What we care for
Youth Leadership & Agency
We believe in the power of young people to lead. We create spaces for immigrant youth to design, lead and drive solutions for their own community.
Belonging Through Culture
We create spaces for young people particularly immigrant youth to celebrate their cultural heritage through music, dance and art to build confidence, pride and genuine sense of belonging.
Impact Through Partnership
We care about turning insight into action. Our commitment is to build practical partnerships, secure resources, provide mentorship and conduct relevant research to ensure youth-led ideas achieve real, lasting impact in Bergen and indeed Norway and beyond.
Child Protection
A forum for dialogue and support among ethnic minority parents navigating the experience of having lost custody of their children
We create a supportive community built on trust, openness, acceptance, and security. In this space participants can share their experience, offer one another emotional support, work through difficult feelings together, learn about available formal support services, and build their capacity as parents.
This project focuses on youth from ethnic minority backgrounds aged 15 to 23, who find themselves on the margins of society and are drawn to environments in Bergen where drug use and criminal activity are present

The main goal of this initiative is to give the targeted group a deeper understanding of their own bodies and sexuality, while also contributing to the prevention of unwanted pregnancies, abortions and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). An equally important aim is to help the girls feel, as much as possible, that they are equal partners in any sexual situation
