The primary objective of the programme is to promote the smooth integration of the refugees to Norwegian society by preparing them for the initial period after arriving in Norway, addressing unrealistic expectations, and limiting the culture shock.
The Cultural Orientation Programme also provides the receiving Norwegian municipalities with relevant and current information about the resettling of refugees and the refugees' situation prior to arrival to Norway.
The programme is implemented by IOM Oslo.
