Life in Norway Show Episode 20: Norwegian Social entrepreneur Munib Mushtaq from Gi en hånd
Norwegian social entrepreneur Munib Mushtaq talks about working with immigrants and the unwritten social rules of Norwegian society.
Full show notes: https://www.lifeinnorway.net/episode20/
New to Norway
There are many organisations that help people moving to Norway, but few courses look beyond the practicalities of setting someone up in the system, learning the language and finding employment.
While all those things are important, becoming truly settled in Norway with Norwegian friends and a full active social life is perhaps the biggest challenge of all. Institutions don't teach the Norwegian social code and new refugees and immigrants often have to learn the hard way.
Today we meet Munib Mushtaq, a Norwegian social entrepreneur and founder of Gi en Hånd, who is on a mission to change that! He was born in Norway to immigrant parents, so has personal experience in adapting to different cultures.
A helping hand for new arrivals
Gi en Hånd is a voluntary organisation with the main goal of building bridges and integrating minority groups to create a stronger generation to strengthen Norway as a nation.
Their specialisation is providing intensive Norwegian courses that take just one month per level, which is much faster than standard courses.
