Norwegian culture

Relocating to a new country can be a challenge. In addition to the logistical obstacles, cultural hurdles must be overcome when building new relationships and adjusting to unfamiliar surroundings.

The ASC “Norwegian culture” seminar is designed to give insight into the Norwegian culture and mentality. Developed through the experiences of foreigners, the program addresses the personal and professional realities of living in Norway.

Over the course of a day, participants attend lectures on the cultural and practical aspects of life in Norway to ease the transition into their new Norwegian home.

The seminar aims to:

  • Manage expectations to life in Norway
  • Examine the similarities and differences between home culture and Norwegian culture in respect to etiquette, values, ethics and history
  • Provide advice on how to develop awareness and skills to build successful social and professional relationships with friends and colleagues
  • Discuss the influence of Norwegian culture and history on the Norwegian mentality in the office
