Results, benefits, impact and lessons learnt

Originally part of a master thesis, this project resulted in the creation of 4 video's which feature International students and how they find their sense of belonging, what their challenges were when coming to Aarhus. There are also 4 stories from both exchange students and expats sharing their journey. Additional tips on places are provided and people have shared why certain places in Aarhus mean a lot to them. The platform has gained some traffic and is especially of interest to newcomers to the city or people who plan on moving here to make them feel less alone, and that more people may have the same challenges as them.
