Yhdessä-yhdistys works to create a place of belonging for immigrants. This project does this work by collecting stories of immigrants and of Finns of various origins on what it means to have a multicultural society as told and lived in the diverse neighborhood of Varissuo. In their stories, some of the immigrants discuss challenges and joys of living in Finland, and how they use the knowledge and skills they bring from their countries of origin to build their lives in Finland. By sharing their stories, immigrants discuss and reflect on their perspectives on how they have come to find a sense of belonging in Finland and making the country their home.

The process of story-telling also is a way to build bridges between the many kinds of people who live in Finland.

We invite you to listen to these stories and gain a deeper understanding of the ways immigrants become a part of the fabric of Finland but also how they contribute to Finland as a nation and its culture.
