Voices of Victory
Voices of Victory is the forum created by NordConnect for immigrant storytelling and sharing the struggles and triumphs of those who have navigated their paths to success. It is not only an opportunity to gain insights into their immigrant journeys but also a chance to forge new connections within the community. The forum was initiated during the kickoff of project in Lappeenranta and has since expanded to Copenhagen and Oslo, each hosting its own chapter.
