Integrering
15 okt 2025
This publication presents 14 recommendations for improving the integration of migrants in the Nordic countries. The recommendations are divided into four categories: framing and foundation, structural domains, social and relational domains, and transformative practice. The recommendations have been developed by The Nordic Migrant Expert Forum 2025–2027, which consists of 16 experts on integration.
The Forum members have been appointed by the national ministries responsible for integration in the Nordic countries. Together they represent a broad knowledge base, with expertise in areas such as the labour market, education, social and health care, gender equality, democracy and citizenship, as well as issues related to segregation. All members were born outside the Nordic Region and have since settled in a Nordic country.
The Nordic Migrant Expert Forum has been established by the Nordic Council of Ministers as a platform for dialogue between policymakers and foreign-born residents in the Nordic Region. The Forum provides professional perspectives on what constitutes effective integration, and on how Nordic cooperation in this field can be strengthened. In this way, the Forum contributes to the implementation of the Nordic Council of Ministers’ Vision 2030, with particular emphasis on the priority of creating a socially sustainable Nordic Region.
