WHAT IS I.UNG?
A community that
feels like yours.
Starting life in a new country can feel lonely. I.UNG creates a safe, welcoming place where young people with international backgrounds can meet others, feel understood and build a future together.
No interview.
No requirements.
Just show up.
You do not need perfect Norwegian, special experience or a plan. Come as you are — we will take the next step together.
Meet people who understand.
Not just classmates or contacts — a group where different stories and cultures are welcome.
Adults who listen and guide.
People who show up, take you seriously and help without judgment or pressure.
Try, learn and move forward.
Discover activities, mentors and opportunities that make Norway feel more open and possible.
LIFE AT I.UNG
Things we do.
Memories we make.
