Area Orientation Program

As part of our Introduction program, we offer an informative seminar to Norwegian culture and society designed to facilitate a smooth transition and help newcomers to the region settle in. This comprehensive course, which can be booked by you or your company, is known as the SCI Area Orientation program. It spans a full day and focuses on providing practical information about living and working in Norway, along with cross-cultural training tailored to the Norwegian context. Throughout the program, participants delve into various topics such as history, politics, culture, Norwegian customs, safety measures, the health system, raising children in Norway, transportation systems and much more. An integral part of the experience is a guided tour of Stavanger, highlighting essential locations relevant to participants' daily lives. Additionally, attendees receive invaluable resources including maps, regional brochures, and the Welcome to the Stavanger Region book, which contains extensive details about the region. Attending these events with small class sizes, allows participants to gather essential information. There is also ample opportunities to ask questions and engage in follow-up discussions, ensuring a personalised and enriching learning experience.

Teambuilding - Cross Cultural Understanding in a diverse team

The "Power of Diversity" presentation is designed for all employees working in an international environment. It focuses on understanding cross-cultural differences and communication styles, helping to avoid an "us and them" mentality and fostering a cohesive "WE" culture.
