The cultural activity BABA connects immigrants and Norwegians
Summary
In Trondheim, Norway, older immigrants and Norwegian seniors have a cultural activity called BABA (grandmother og grandfather). They learn to be together and to be a “Norwegian” family.
BABA meets once a week to create different performances. They are collaborating with Trøndelag Theatre, which is mainly responsible for the practical implementation of the project.
The group has developed into a permanent senior theater in collaboration with the Culture Unit in Trondheim municipality and Trøndelag Theater.
