The Kaleidoscope and the FIKS Bergen

Bergen uses interculturalism as a criterion when allocating grants administered by the City. Bergen’s cultural and civil life policies are full of events and activities in the fields of arts, culture and sport to encourage inhabitants from different ethnic groups to mix. Kaleidoscope (Fargespill) is an art project where young Norwegians and newly arrived migrants meet and create music together. Similarly, the FIKS Bergen initiative promotes cooperation between different sports clubs to include people from migrant background in their activities, and they organise an intercultural day to introduce people to their activities.
