Feb 22, 2024 | News, Voices of Victory

Oslo recently became the epicenter of a powerful celebration of immigrant success with the “Voices of Victory” forum, a significant event organized by Project NordConnect. It continued the tradition of celebrating immigrant achievements and provided a space for sharing success stories. This third edition of the series highlighted the remarkable journeys of immigrants who have navigated and overcome the challenges of integrating into the Norwegian job market.

The forum brought together twelve dynamic speakers from nine different countries, each sharing their unique stories of struggle and success. These inspiring narratives not only showcased the individual victories of the speakers but also emphasized their resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. The event provided a stage for these individuals to tell their stories, reflecting on their journeys from struggle to triumph.

The “Voices of Victory” series was officially inaugurated at its kickoff event in Lappeenranta, Finland where the project was formally introduced. This inaugural event set the tone for the series by providing a platform for immigrants to share their personal experiences of overcoming challenges while establishing themselves in a new country. It highlighted not only the difficulties faced but also the successes achieved in making a new place their home.

Building on the success and momentum from Lappeenranta, the Oslo forum offered participants valuable networking opportunities that resulted in tangible outcomes. Attendees were able to make meaningful connections, leading to job placements for some, joint ventures for others, and many embraced new networking opportunities that opened additional doors for their personal and professional growth.

The Oslo event followed the success of an earlier “Voices of Victory” forum organized by NordConnect in Copenhagen. That second event featured nine speakers from nine different countries, each bringing their own unique narrative of struggle and resilience. The Copenhagen forum highlighted a shared thread of overcoming adversity, showcasing the universal challenges faced by immigrants and the strength required to succeed.

“Voices of Victory” forum has not only underscored individual victories but also demonstrated the power of community and networking in overcoming challenges and achieving new milestones. The event reinforced the importance of platforms that highlight and support immigrant success, showcasing how shared experiences and connections can drive new opportunities and foster community growth.
