One Signal of Change that I’d like to share is also one that I've been working on over the past few months (if I can toot my own horn a little!): the Re-Routed project in Oslo.
Many immigrants in Norway feel a lack of belonging in society. 'Integration' is often seen as synonymous with job market integration, but Re-Routed is taking a much more creative and human approach: rather than focusing solely on employment, we have been creating spaces for people to learn new skills, explore their city, and connect with others on a deeper level. So we're prioritizing personal growth, meaningful relationships, and fostering that sense of 'belonging' that can be so tricky to define or find.
For me, it's such a fantastic signal of change because we're seeing more and more people shifting their idea of what is expected from and for immigrants in Oslo, and the feedback has been incredibly positive around it!

I am really inspired by this project from the UK Seeds of Hope , showing how communities can create new rituals around hope and togetherness https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ten-things-we-learned-growing-hope-year-joseph-rowntree-foundation-g2fye/
