The Integration 2020 event will bring together those engaged in immigrant integration and refugee reception at a national virtual event on 25–26 November 2020. Register for the event by 16 November.

Different regions and organisations have done a lot of valuable work to promote integration but it is not often that operators in the field get to meet each other. Because of this, they are not always able to share good practices for promoting integration in the most effective way possible.

The Integration 2020 event will continue the work started during the first integration event in 2018 and strengthen partnerships between public authorities, the third sector and businesses.

The Integration 2020 event will give participants the chance to hear how integration is currently promoted in Finland and around the world, network and find partners, and view the presentations of different operators in the field of integration in our virtual exhibition space.

The themes of the event are a receptive and inclusive society, action and participation, health and wellbeing, skills and work, an effective initial stage of integration and multi-sectoral cooperation. 

The Integration 2020 event is intended for those working in the field of immigrant integration and refugee reception. Program is held in Finnish, Swedish and English. 

In 2020, the organisation of the event is coordinated by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment in collaboration with the Ministry of the Interior, AMIF, STEA, the City of Helsinki and MONIKA – Multicultural Women’s Association, Finland. 

Please register for the event by Monday 16 November 2020 via event's website.
