Are you struggling to feel a sense of belonging here in Norway?
Our diverse content can help
Moving to Norway can be both scary and exciting. You’ve done your research and asked for opinions, but for some reason or another Norway didn’t live up to your expectations. You probably didn’t expect it to take this long to just fit in and make Norway feel like home.
It’s completely normal to feel like you don’t belong when you move to a new country. Everything works differently than what you are used to, even simple tasks feel complicated, and generally people have different expectations. But it doesn’t have to stay this way. You can feel empowered, educated and included here in Norway.
You just need the right support and a community to get you there.
The Oslo Desk is a modern and socially-responsible journalism house that brings diverse perspectives to the table and creates practical content to help people of all backgrounds in Norway live out their greatest potential in a free and peaceful way.

Like all great movements, The Oslo Desk started simply as a collaborative, open conversation – a group of internationals sitting around a coffee table at Kulturhuset who knew that we have a long way to go before we all live in a society that is free of fear, hatred and discrimination. Where all people, no matter their background, are valued as human beings – worthy of respect, belonging and opportunity, and who are acknowledged for the contributions they bring to the table.
That conversation has led to the launch of The Oslo Desk.
The Oslo Desk believes that creating peace starts with the individual and carries over to society. So our stories focus on constructive journalism that inspires action and gives Norway’s residents the information they need to live transformed lives free from all forms of oppression.
