Make Life Happen!
HIC events are the perfect way to expand your social and professional network. We offer a range of informative and enjoyable events, which will help you settle into your new home in Sweden.
Our guest speakers have included experts on Swedish cultural norms, family and private law, volunteering, association life, recruitment, local activities, unions, and employment insurance, to name a few.
We also know how important it is to relax and have fun in a social setting, so we regularly arrange coffee mornings, pub nights, weekend walks, and other activities for international talents and their families.
Internationals from over 60 different countries have attended HIC events, many of them over a period of several years!
With the assistance of our friendly volunteers and ambassadors, we provide a warm, welcoming atmosphere, which ensures that all our guests feel included and supported.
We look forward to meeting you!
Our events are free of charge but we ask that you kindly inform us if you can’t attend. Thank you for your understanding.

Welcome to our annual picnic! This is a perfect opportunity to make new friends and connections, especially if you have children about to start a new school the next day. We’ll play kubb, the classic Swedish outdoor game also known as Viking Chess! All are welcome – please bring your own food and drink and something to sit on.
HIC Coffee Morning
Friday 16 August, 09:30-11:00
Not so much a coffee morning as a community event for “old” and new friends! Join us at our informal coffee morning to find out about life in Helsingborg, pick up valuable tips, and build your network! Find us at the large table at the foot of the stairs in Bruket Kaffebar, Bruksgatan 9, Helsingborg. No need to register, just drop in. We look forward to meeting you!

Thank you to Söderscen and Kulturhotellet for inviting the HIC community to this free Street Art Tour!

Peter Eriksson will be your guide on this tour, sharing his in-depth knowledge of the artists and their work. Meet at Söderrummet in Gustav Adolfs torg. The tour takes around 1.5 hours. Registration is not required.
