Green Sisu

Greener, more inclusive Finland

Finland is becoming increasingly diverse, with over 600,000 foreign-language speakers calling it home—a number that’s only set to grow. In these changing times, the need for communities that embrace diversity and actively involve themselves in shaping the future of Finnish society and politics is more important than ever.
