Welcome Hub Agder connects new residents with everything they need to “become a local!” in Arendal and Agder. Funded by local businesses, service organisations and local municipalities, WHA is positioned as an integrated part of the community with over 100+ network organisations - together we provide information activities, networking opportunities and support with the Norwegian system to those that need it most.
The network behind WHA understands that moving here impacts the whole family, and this important life transition should be exciting and positive. So let us help you get comfortable. We think you’ll be here for a while!
Want to buy a house, learn about the Norwegian pension system or how to forage for mushrooms? Or perhaps you'd like to start your own business, understand how to get a driver's license or just meet other people - foreigners and Norwegians alike?
Then our informational events and social gatherings are perfect for you.
Welcome Hub Agder, in collaboration with the Arendal Adult Learning Center has put together Norwegian courses for those eager to learn the language.
The courses are designed for beginners and you'll get an insight into Norwegian culture and an opportunity to grow your social network - all in the company of others who are also new in Norway.
Fancy meeting people and making new friends over a good cup of coffee? Then Coffee Connections may just be what you're looking for.
At the same, our friendly staff are available to answer any question you may have about your move to Norway - it's all part of our Drop-in service.
Thursdays 10:00-12:00 @ Unwrapped Butikkafé
