Skellefteå's melting pot - Pakistan's turn in the sun

Skellefteå is a place where people from many different countries live. To help everyone feel welcome and connected, a new event called "One Evening - One Country" was started last year. This event is a chance for people who have lived here for a long time and people who are new to meet and learn about each other's cultures. Recently, Pakistan was the focus and Norran was there to document the fun.

The "One Evening - One Country" program, organised by Welcome House Skellefteå, Expats & Friends and Medborgskolan, began late last year with a focus on India. Last week, the spotlight shifted to Pakistan, India's neighboring country. A fascinating presentation explored Pakistan's rich history and traditions.

Local residents from Skellefteå enthusiastically participated in the event, enjoying the informative session, interacting with newcomers, and savoring the delicious Pakistani food. 

Norran was present to capture the event in photos and, of course, to sample the cuisine!
