BlimE! (Norwegian slang for "join in") is a friendship campaign hosted by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation with the slogan "Say hello! Be a friend! Join in". The primary purpose is to inspire children to see each other, care for each other and include each other [1].
The campaign consists of a song and a corresponding dance that is performed simultaneously by approximately 400.000 children every year [2]. Although the actual effect of the campaign is debated, it is generally agreed that it does support a sense of community by providing common experiences among children [3].
The campaign was introduced in 2010 has has since then been an annual event. In 2020 It was extended to an international event named #SayHi , hosted by broadcasters from 13 different countries [4].
