ASF invites you to a discussion on refugee support and community creation in Scandinavia. In this panel highlighting the work of local people supporting incoming refugees in Norway and Sweden, we’ll hear from a Norwegian asylum center director, a Swedish community organizer, and two resettled refugees to Norway who have made it their life’s work to advocate for their communities and build bridges between refugees and native-born Scandinavians.

Panelists include: Bente Nygård, Director at the Solbakken residential asylum center in Florø, Norway; Mårthen Mirza, Cultural minister for Lund county, Sweden; Adam Dean, Language teacher and Syrian refugee to Norway; Kerrion Joseph Murhesa, Aid worker and Congolese refugee to Norway.

The discussion will be moderated by Folklorist & ASF Fellow Dr. Sallie Anna Steiner.
