INTEGRATION THROUGH MENTORING
- Immigrants are paired with a voluntary mentor according to similar backgrounds and interests (work, education, hobbies).
- The mentors, who are familiar with the Finnish way of life, meet up with their immigrant mentees for 4−8 hours a month over a six month period.
- The next application period for mentees is from 1.8-15.9.2018 sign up HERE
FIKA är ett mentorprogram där frivilliga ställer upp som mentorer för att underlätta invandrares integrationsprocess.
HUR FUNGERAR DET?
En person som behöver stöd i sin integrationsprocess paras ihop med en mentor som känner sig etablerad i det finländska samhället. Tillsammans bekantar sig mentorparet till exempel med arbetsmarknaden, språket, närsamhället och delar med sig av sina erfarenheter. Paret träffas i sex månader, cirka 4-8 timmar per månad.
