After much anticipation, Welcome Hub Agder hosted our first and extra special Coffee Connections on February 6 at Kopano Café, our new home just down the road from our previous location.
As well as welcoming our members to our new location, the conversations over coffee provided a unique opportunity to co-create a welcome centre at our new space for both locals and internationals alike.
Through interactive sessions, participants shared insights, collaborated on ideas, and helped shape a space embodying the needs and preferences of those who rely on our services.
"Welcome Hub's physical location is key to ensuring our members have a space where they can meet, make connections, get information, and feel a part of the community - so it's important to engage our members and get feedback in order to create a space that will be functional, inspire, and meet the expectations and needs of our community.”
- Megan Strand, CEO, Welcome Hub Agder

"I am delighted to join such a meaningful, international organisation supporting my core values of belonging and connection. As an international myself, I’m eager to pay forward what I’ve learned and help improve the lives of newcomers, businesses and the community."
