Warm Up to winter in Oslo: Connect with the Cold Weather

Date: December 2, 2024
Time: 17:30 – 20:30
Place: Blå, Brenneriveien 9C, 0182 Oslo

A special event for all internationals to discover how to make the most of the colder months. Join us to learn about organizations and clubs you can get involved with to fill your winter with exciting activities and new connections.

When it gets colder and darker, it’s nice to cozy up at home, but Norwegian winters are also about embracing activities—even outdoor ones like cross-country skiing, hiking, and ice skating! At this event, you’ll have the chance to meet various organizations, learn about what they offer, and see if they spark your interest.

The event will be held at Blå, along the Akerselva river, where you can chat with other internationals and organizations, both indoors and outdoors. Speakers will share their experiences with Norwegian winters, offering tips, inspiration, and ideas to help you make the most of winter in Oslo.

One highlight will be meeting organizations through speed networking rounds by the fireside, which we are calling "fireside chats." You’ll get to hear from each organization, ask questions, and find new ways to make winter in Oslo a season to remember.
