Get to know asylum seekers through "Hils på"

Do you know an asylum seeker? In Hero's asylum centers, many different people live and work. Everyone has their own story to tell. We want to open the door to the asylum centers, so you can get to know some of them. With the webpage "Hils på" (Say hello) we want to achieve understanding. Understanding of asylum seekers' everyday lives and challenges. Maybe we're more alike than we think? We are humble when we meet the individuals who come to our reception centers. They don't know our language; they don't know us and they often have more questions than answers. Everyday life is all about learning, mastering, and feeling safe. Our dream is to enable a new fu¬ture. In that future, the understanding of differences is greater, and the fear of differences smaller. It all starts by opening the door - welcome to www.hilspå.no!
