New Meaning

New Meaning is a forum that aims to give young people with intercultural backgrounds their voices and opinions to the public. New Meaning wants to offer young people a chance to use their resources and become active contributors and creators within the society they live in. New Meaning has initiated and produced magazines, web-casts, board games, live entertainment events, and workshops.

New Meaning wishes to expand its communication to help broaden the understanding and knowledge between different cultures.

The contributors are between 18 and 30 years old, living both in Oslo and Trondheim. Our participants are varied from many communities worldwide, including: Afghanistan, Colombia, France, Iran, Iraq, Italy, Norway, Somalia, Sweden, India, Scotland, and former Yugoslavia.

Webcasts

New Meaning Radio is an audio magazine. Several of the audio pieces are in the contributors’ own language – Swahili, Kurdish, Gaelic, Persian, and Portuguese and everything is translated to Swedish/Norwegian/English. Many of the contributors attended workshops to learn how to use audio editors and other sound equipment at a professional level.

New Meaning Radio has been officially released through the Swedish National Broadcasting channel (SRC) and the Norwegian National Broadcasting channel (NRK) These shows can be found here:
