Abstract
Former expectations related to free movement of people within the EEA
can be, at least partially, in question. The article aims at highlighting basic
trends in migration outflows of Poles to Norway, with special attention paid to
the integration challenges, and in particular the integration of Polish children
in Norway. Increasingly, more Poles decide on a more permanent settlement
instead of shuttling between Norway and Poland. It is a challenge not only
for them but also for the Norwegian society and policy in particular. The
article is a result of the TRANSFAM project, funded by the Norway Grants,
which is focused on studying transnational migrations and starting families
by Poles in Norway. The project participants are the Jagiellonian University
(leader) and its partners from the Polish-Norwegian consortium: the Centre
for International Relations, Agder Research and Nova.
