About Suomi-Seura ry
Suomi-Seura ry: Empowering Finnish Expats Worldwide
Suomi-Seura ry is a non-profit organization that caters to the needs of Finnish expatriates worldwide. Our mission is to promote and protect the interests of Finnish expats, provide guidance on moving abroad, living overseas, and returning to Finland. We also publish Suomen Silta -lehti (The Bridge of Finland), a magazine that connects Finns around the world.
Our History
Founded in 1935, Suomi-Seura ry has been serving Finnish expats for over 85 years. Our organization was established by a group of passionate Finns who wanted to create a community for fellow countrymen living abroad. Since then, we have grown into one of the largest organizations representing Finnish expatriates worldwide.
Our Services
At Suomi-Seura ry, we offer various services that cater to the needs of our members. We provide guidance on moving abroad and settling in new countries through our extensive network of contacts and resources. We also assist with issues related to employment, education, healthcare, housing, and legal matters.
For those who are planning on returning to Finland after living overseas for an extended period or permanently relocating back home after years away from their homeland – we offer support with reintegration into society as well as practical advice on how best they can adjust back into life in Finland.
We understand that being away from home can be challenging at times; therefore we organize events such as cultural festivals and social gatherings where members can connect with other Finns living abroad while enjoying traditional foods or participating in activities unique only found within our culture.
Our Magazine: Suomen Silta -lehti
Suomen Silta -lehti is published quarterly by Suomi-Seura ry since 1947; it's one of the oldest magazines catering specifically towards Finnish expatriates worldwide. The magazine provides readers with news about what's happening back home in Finland while also featuring articles about life overseas written by fellow Finns sharing their experiences living outside their homeland.
The magazine covers topics such as travel tips when visiting different countries around Europe or Asia-Pacific regions where many Finns reside today; interviews with successful entrepreneurs who have made it big outside their homeland but still maintain strong ties back home; stories about cultural events taking place globally celebrating all things related not just limited only within our borders but beyond them too!
