Life in Norway doesn’t have to be this hard.

Norway is regularly ranked as one of the best countries in the world to live in, but in 2023, it was ranked as one of the worst countries for foreigners to live in. 800,000 immigrants live in Norway, but according to a 2021 study, they experience greater loneliness and exclusion from society than the rest of the population.

But together, we can improve the experience of life in Norway.
