Abdur Razzaq loves to go for a walk. “I do it almost every day,” he says, smiling proudly behind a couple of quick glasses. With quick steps, he has set course for scraper nest in the Eastmarket. – It’s close to the urban development. Here it is so quiet and calm. No bustle and hustle! He stops. Listen to the birds that chirp. – It’s so beautiful. Sigh. Parts in social media: Abdur shares photos and videos on Tiktok, Snapchat, Instagram and his blog from all their trips. Photo: news He lifts the selfie rod and turns on the mobile camera. – Good day, dear folks. This is Abdur on tour! Marka celebrity almost every time Abdur walks, he is stopped by people who recognize him. At all ages. He no longer counts on how many people have asked to have a selfie with him. For “Abdur on tour” has become a kind of Marka celebrity. The retired teacher shares his tour pleasure on Tiktok, Facebook, Instagram and on his blog. There are so many sounds to listen to. It has been many years since Abdur was bitten by the tour basil. He lived in the Old Town and was asked to join Ekeberg by a neighbor. – Then we went up. It was so lovely. That is still it. – What did you discover? – I discovered a silence. It was so peaceful. So fresh air. And it is so good for the body! You can never … get enough video material … when you are traveling! Fewer immigrants are engaged in outdoor life. Getting more immigrants to run outdoor life has long been a political goal in Norway. It is meant to improve public health and lead to better integration. – Many people like to sit inside. We do not have such culture in Pakistan, for example. To walk in the fields and the forest. But Abdur hopes and believes that something is changing. Especially for the youth. Lately, several have stopped Abdur and asked him: – Can’t we be with you? Then I say they are welcome! The retired teacher says that many of the students he had, for example, wanted to go fishing. – But what is blocking is that they will not go out on their own. Several studies have investigated what Abdur is talking about. Immigrants in Oslo are rather in the city’s parks than Marka, according to a study. Social anthropologist Tuva Beyer Broch also recognizes what Abdur tells. She thinks what he does is important: – He is breaking down notions of who can do outdoor life and not. Tuva Beyer Brochsocial antrologist at the Norwegian Institute of Natural Research written the book Urbant Youth Life, Nature and Emotional Disclaimer on the same theme at the Norwegian School of Sport She says that many of the young people she has met as a researcher would like to work with outdoor life. – Unlike many white Norwegians, they may not have been introduced to outdoor life through their parents. Not everyone has a cabin or skiing. It’s not just about cultural backgrounds, but also about class. Finding your way out to Marka can often be about being included. – The youths I met were introduced to the outdoor life through an organization. But they still have to go on cabin trips and out into the fields as adults. – Struggling to understand what Norwegians are doing on Sundays the Norwegian Tourist Association (DNT) is one of many organizations working to get more people with immigrant backgrounds in nature. DNT has arranged international tour groups since 2016. Both the offer and interest have grown, year by year. – Those who participate are refugees, asylum seekers, labor immigrants and doctoral students. There is a very large, wide diversity in the group, says Irene Hirsti Kvam. She is a project advisor for diversity and inclusion in DNT. – Many who come to Norway are struggling to understand what Norwegians are doing on Sundays, where the famous cabin is, or where the mountain is located.

She agrees that it is not as easy for everyone to find their way out to the field. Many people wonder what Norwegians do on Sundays, where the famous cabin is, or where the mountain is located. – We know that there are some thresholds and barriers. It can be language, that you do not understand or be understood, she says. – Some also have some fear or prejudice around outdoor life and nature. But on our trips, we show that it is safe.
