Utekontaketen and Samarbeidsråd for tros- golivssynssamfunn

Bergen has introduced many initiatives to achieve its mediation and conflict resolution policy objectives. The city has set up a generalist municipal mediation service which also deals with cultural conflicts. Bergen also provides mediation services in places such as neighbourhoods, on streets, actively seeking to meet residents and discuss problems. This service is provided by the Community Youth Outreach Unit in Bergen (Utekontakten). Finally, Bergen has also set up a municipal mediation service committed to interreligious issues specifically. Samarbeidsråd for tros- og livssynssamfunn is an interfaith organisation in Bergen. Most faith communities in Bergen are represented in the council, which is supported by the municipality.
