We are about 20 employees. We co-operate with the municipality, the region and other actors.

"Cultural interpreters" provide information and knowledge through courses and trainings in different languages.

We offer new mums help before and during childbirth.

We work with Poseidon housing company to strengthen the role of parents of school children.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We have extensive experience of working in a segregated neighbourhood and a so-called particularly vulnerable area. We have a great understanding and knowledge of the needs of newly arrived parents, especially mothers. We have a very large network of parents in different language groups. We have extensive experience of working with municipalities, regions, civil society and politicians. We are happy to share our knowledge.
