Kort beskrivelse
UDI (the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration) established discussion groups concerning violence for residents in asylum reception centres in 2013/2014. The initiative is called Dialogue Groups on violence, and the topic is violence and attitudes to violence. The target group is men and boys (single minors over 15 years of age). Dialogue groups on violence are a preventative measure, and are offered to residents who come from countries where laws, traditions and rules on violence are different than those in Norway. The aim of the initiative is to contribute to reflection and changing of attitudes to violence amongst residents in asylum reception centres.
