NORWAY (CCN)

Founded in July 2004 by a group of Chin refugees living in Norway, the Chin Community in Norway (CCN) is a not-for-profit organization primarily dedicated to the social well-being of Chin people in Norway... Most Chins in Norway came from Malaysia under the arrangement of UNHCR Malaysia which is working tirelessly to protect and send Chin refugees to safer countries. Among countries that have chosen to accept Chin refugees, Norway is one of the most popular destinations for refugees from Burma. As of today, there are about 1500 Chin refugees in Norway with at least half the number are under the "Introduction Program" which is a specially designated program for newly arrived immigrants that focus on local integration. One challenge that owns community faces is language, which is clearly the most important key to success in Norway.
