Future Finns Helsinki has been putting an extra effort into showing a welcoming attitude towards immigrants. Investing in newcomers helps a new generation of ‘Future Finns’ to settle down more easily in Helsinki. This brings a diversity of culture, international references, new ways of thinking and skills to our city – not to mention growth! This is a question of not just “what,” but “what exactly?” Finland already has tons of information available for immigrants, but how easy is it to navigate this complex task when arriving to a new country? The Refugee Hospitality Club Punavuori (RHCP) shows one successful example of why focusing on “what exactly” really matters. By directly engaging with their audience to discover what their needs are, then providing information that is specific and targeted, the RHCP helps newcomers settle in more quickly, easily and happily.
