Case study: Hobøl Asylum Centre
Myrteza Shini works as Returns Advisor at Hobøl Asylum Reception Centre, a privately run centre that lies in Elvestad, in the municipality of Hobøl, Norway. About 150 refugees live at the centre, which has one ordinary department (with 130 places) and one facilitated department (with 20 places). Hobøl Asylum Reception Centre normally uses interpretation by telephone, which is also what Myrteza did the first time he used TikkTak.
