About GIVE
GIVE focuses on Indigenous and displaced youth whose lives are shaped by migration, climate pressure and exclusion. Inspired by the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), we build bridges between communities, institutions, museums and local partners.
What we focus on
- Dignity and safety for Indigenous and displaced youth
- Community-based resilience rather than individual counselling
- Living heritage as a real economic and cultural resource
- Alliances across Norway, the Sahel and Latin America
