Hello everybody! I’m Melis, a graphic designer from Istanbul, Turkey. I started volunteering for Familia last year soon after I joined the Finnish language course of the organization. I love how Familia supports and helps us to get to know about diverse families and cultures in Finland. I myself like Finnish culture and Finland a lot. Even though I only visited Helsinki once, It felt very welcoming with the multi-cultural structure and comfort that I saw in peoples face. I’m still learning a lot about Finnish culture; and hearing from the diverse people living in Finland, I understand more and more everyday. That’s why I feel very lucky to be a part of this community as a foreigner myself:)

Today is Zero Discrimination Day. The United Nations and other international organisations remember this day annually on 1st of March. Most of the political and international movements in the last century or more have been in some way inspired by the idea of vanquishing a type or more of historical discrimination. I have been lucky to have met three people who have anti-discrimination on top of their list. And lucky for Familia they are part of our wonderful team of board members. Anna joined Familia because she felt it was close to her daily life and heart. She has found that having a bilingual family brings difficulties if one is alone in it. She describes Familia as a great supporter to those families, and how people don't feel alone in their situation. Also due to her own life expertise, she finds that she could contribute and influence the affairs of intercultural families and support multilingualism through Familia in Finland. Anna feels that the only way to defeat all type of discrimination is through standing against them in every way. So she believes that Familia can help with that today and in future through its support for intercultural families. Anna describes Familia as a very important NGO in Finland for the years to come. Tuuli has decided to join Familia at first as a volunteer, and today she is a deputy member of the Board of Directors. She felt that Familia has the right objectives for supporting an intercultural and a diverse Finland, and that worked perfectly with her own vision. "The future generations are diverse!" explains Tuuli why Familia's work is needed in future. Tuuli believes that for a bigger multilingual and intercultural future there should be organisations that can support those people, and Familia is just the right kind of pioneer in its work to support intercultural families today and in future.
Shimy joined Familia because she saw the equality it called for, no matter what is one's beliefs, background, political views or sexuality, they are all welcome to join Familia. She also speaks of how it is important to help people to integrate into new country, new society or new situation. She describes that it is as important to the new comer to Finland to integrate, so it is important to the who is surrounding the new comer to also integrate to acceptance and understanding of that person. Shimy sees that Familia is doing just that through helping new intercultural couples by consultations, and even helping immigrants through the very affordable Finnish courses. Shimy's looks to the future and sees a diverse world, and it is impossible for Finland to resist that, and for an even bigger immigrant and multicultural society, Familia is needed for the support. "We can't fight discrimination without NGOs like Familia!" Shimy says passionately. She is truly proud to be a deputy member of the Board of Directors at Famili ry. We could take those three courageous people as an example for future generations. If more young people like them are around, we can have a hope of non-discriminated future to all.
If we could just look at the person next to us and think that they are beautiful as they are, with their religion and beliefs, with their skin colour and body size, with their level of education and language capabilities, with their own sexuality and choice of diet, then we can start our "Zero Discrimination" world together. Today Finland celebrates Kalevala's Day. It's a day to remember a great Epic of Kalevala by Elias Lönnrot. This day is also known by some as the Finnish Culture Day. I decided to talk to my 6-year-old son about the Sampo, which was a Magical artefact constructed by Ilmarinen in Kalevala, and it brought riches and good fortune to its holder. I asked my son what he wanted if he had the Sampo and he answered sugar for sweet, salt so my food would be tasty and crystals because they are so beautiful. He asked me what I would have wished for, and I really wasn't sure for a while, so he said "Äiti, you always say that all you wish for is love and peace!" It made me realise that I actually didn't want any material fortunes. I want safer world, filled with love and respect. And this reminded me of 3 wonderful individuals that are inspiring exactly that.
Tiia-Marina has been with Familia more than 10 years, when she first joined as a trainee when she has decided to follow her heart to the social field. She describes Familia as a wonderful place where intercultural families, like hers, found activities, opportunities to meet other intercultural families who they shared similarities with. Tiia-Marina describes the Finnish culture as "a challenging culture for many foreigners to understand", and that Familia offers help and guidance to ease their bureaucratic frustrations. She mentions the colourful olden days where people walking in and out of the premises, cooking, and socialising. Tiia-Marina, explains how Familia's services are needed in present and future of intercultural families. The relationship counselling that Familia offers is very important to both sides, the foreign and Finnish part of the family she clarifies. She describes the problems of immigrants and intercultural families as familiar to her as the back of her hand. Her personal difficult experiences made it clear to her how important it is to receive that support. Tiia-Marina also talks of multilingualism and how it is the child's right to have their other languages supported, acknowledged and respected. She wishes for Familia to bring even more activities in the future to support intercultural families and all who moves to Finland. Alec sees also the importance in the work and what Familia is offering from various range of services. He describes how Familia is assisting intercultural families to navigate a complex environment. Alec is very proud to offer his time and service to an NGO that is offering tools and a voice for many intercultural families in Finland, and hopes to continue supporting in all ways possible for the inspirational staff and volunteers at Familia. Alec describes Familia as vital for health of society and the promotion of intercultural dialogue. He believes that Familia will improve the integration of immigrants and advocates on their behalf for better polices, through their works. He worries how in the recent years we have seen the revival of populism and anti-immigrant rhetoric, which he believes is mostly due a misguided fear of the "other". He thinks that Familia and other NGOs with similar minds and way will be a great assed to tackle this issue head on. Petra describes Familia work as important and close to her heart. She has been with Familia for 4 years and ever since has found out that Familia shares the same values with her and so it has been a key factor in her involvement with Familia. Petra believes in giving back to the community, so she finds it important to volunteer in NGOs such as Familia. Petra also tells that she is happy to have a is a part of a place where her experience has been found useful and could be used in helping others. In Petra's view Finland is changing, intercultural families and immigrants are increasing, so Familia is needed to be involved in this change and support the those who have moved here. Petra also believes that NGOs will benefit from identifying challenges and opportunities in the communities through research, surveys, and other analyses. Then this valuable knowledge can be used to build a new common good through constructive projects and developments. So if we think about it and imagine a world filled with such selfless people we would be able to see how wonderful the world would be. So yes... Maybe I would wish for unending production of people that are filled with love, selflessness and desire to change the world for everyone to live in peace and feel accepted.
Each year World NGO Day is celebrated on February 27th. NGOs have a history that dates to at least the late 18th century, they have always been at the forefront of social movements and changes. Personally, I became active in the NGO world in Finland just few years back, but today we are not talking about me. We are talking about three very inspiring people that are part of Familia's board of directors.
Marie has been part of Familia for over 20 years, started as a volunteer and today she is the chairman of the board of directors. She describes how Familia has evolved and grew in those years. For Marie Familia is very important due to its objectives. She explains how the support of intercultural families is a personal matter to her and it has been very beneficial. She calls Familia as her "other partner" that has been in her life for many years. Marie believes that because the intercultural families are only growing in Finland, so it is a very important to have such organisation that supports and helps them. "As the intercultural families grow, so will the demand for the services and functions provided by Familia." that is how Marie explains the reason why she will be still around as a supporter to Familia in years to come.
Noora sees Familia as an active social debater that tackles issues and subjects, which are very important in intercultural families' daily lives. She describes this being close to her own heart, because she faces those matters in her own daily life in an intercultural and bilingual family. She expresses her appreciation to all the work that is done by Familia to support multicultural family lives like hers. Noora says that NGOs such as Familia are shaping the future and making the change for the better, through discussions and raising social advocacy. Additionally to that she says that Familia is doing so much good through the language courses, relationship support and parental coaching that Familia is offering. In Noora's opinion Familia is an important NGO for present and future for the increasing numbers of intercultural families.
Dora has been introduced to Familia over 10 years ago through a peer support group, and she has since then been a part of the activities that support intercultural families like hers. She enjoys being a part and surrounded by other people from intercultural families, as they collectively share their daily realities, concerns and options for solutions without feeling like they are different from any other families. Dora describes Familia as a provider of a platform for intercultural families' voice's in our society to be represented and heard nation wide. Dora believes that Familia has a very long list of great things that it could bring to the future of intercultural life in Finland. The most important things in her opinion are the wider networks, a better sense of belonging, new perspectives, more understanding, enlightenment, and in-depth solutions for challenges that intercultural families and the multicultural Finland require. Those three lovely people have been an inspiration to many. They spend a lot of their own personal free time trying to support an NGO like Familia in every way possible, just in hope for a better life for the present and the future of intercultural generations.
Happy World NGO day to all NGOs, volunteers, donors and workers who are trying to change the world one step at a time!
Katja Manninen-Abbouchi on Olarin seurakunnan yhteisötyöntekijä ja kahden kulttuurin perheen äiti. Vuonna 2015, kun Katja sai poikansa, hän päätti osallistua Familian Duo Äiti & Vauva ryhmään. Tämän jälkeen Katja päätti lähteä vapaaehtoiseksi Duo Olohuone toiminnan ohjaajaksi Helsingissä.
“Lähdin mukaan Familiaan, koska minulla itselläni on monikulttuurinen perhe”, kertoo Katja. Katjan kahden kulttuurin perheeseen kuuluu kaksi lasta aiemmasta avioliitosta sekä libanonilainen mies, jonka kanssaan hänellä on yksi lapsi. “Tutustuttuani [Familian] Facebookiin ja nettisivuihin sekä Familian jakamiin kahden kulttuurin perheiden tarinoihin, minulle tuli sellainen tunne, että halusin olla osana Familian perhettä.” Duo Äiti & Vauva ryhmä on kahden kulttuurin äideille tarkoitettu vertaisryhmä, jossa tavataan seitsemän viikon ajan ja käsitellään eri teemoja. Duo Olohuone toiminta on taas kaikille kahden kulttuurin arkea eläville avointa perhekahvilatoimintaa. Toiminnasta Katjalla on hyviä muistoja. “Poikani tykkäsi kovasti, että pääsi tutustumaan muihin kaltaisiinsa lapsiin”, Katja muistelee. Vapaaehtoisuus merkitsee Katjalle uusia ystäviä ja vertaistukea. “Vapaaehtoistyön avulla saa tutustua uusiin ihmisiin”, Katja kertoo. “Vaikkakin en itse ajattele, että hakisin mitään vertaistukea mutta siitä saa kuitenkin vertaistukea. Siinä on monia hyviä puolia.” Katja haluaa myös toimia esikuvana omille lapsilleen: “Toivon, että he joku päivä myös tekisivät vapaaehtoistyötä. Vapaaehtoistyöllä annetaan paljon hyvää niin toisille kuin itsellekin.” Mitä vapaaehtoisuus Familiassa antoi Katjalle? “Vapaaehtoistyöstä minulle jäi matala kynnys pyytää apua, kun sitä tarvitsen. Minulle jäi myös ystäviä siitä ajasta”, Katja jakaa, “Nykyään aina kun tutustun uusiin monikulttuurisiin perheisiin, jotka tulee Suomeen niin aina kysyn: Oletko kuullut Familiasta?” Camilla Bergman Tällä viikolla Duo Blogiin on kerätty Familian vapaaehtoisten tarinoita. Olemme tällä hetkellä etsimässä uusia vapaaehtoisia vetämään Duo Olohuonetta Espooseen, Turkuun, Tampereelle sekä valtakunnallisesti.

When Valéria Pinto moved to Finland with her Finnish partner two years ago, she was looking for opportunities to integrate and network. Originally from Brazil, Valéria has experience in both working as a media coordinator and teaching English. It was during this time that Valéria met Familia by chance during an event with another organisation that at the time had a partnership with Familia. “I won’t say it was my dream to volunteer when I moved to Finland, but it was something to fulfill the need of doing something and being useful, of meeting people and understanding things a bit better.” “I wanted to find a way to get more connected to the Finnish mindset and lifestyle, but also to become more employable”, she shares. “I met someone from Familia who was giving me tips regarding my CV and she suggested volunteer work. Her professionalism, her energy made an impression on me.”
This autumn Valéria led workshops about Brazilian music for learners of Portuguese to become more familiar with important cultural moments in Brazilian history. The workshops included exercises and discussion to contextualise these cultural moments through songs of the era. The Portuguese club was part of Familia's language club activities. For Valéria, the best thing about volunteering at Familia was the freedom to develop her own activities. “Familia gave me great freedom to develop my idea […] and was very open to my proposition.” “What’s the point with my volunteer experiences? Exchange: exchange of experiences and exchange of stories.” says Valéria, “I have lived in 6 countries and I really enjoy knowing different things, meeting different people, listening to their stories and telling my own stories.” Volunteering in Familia was also a way to challenge some assumptions about Finland. “After my experience with Familia, I felt that [Finland] is a friendly environment and I just have to go a step further to integrate. […] I learned that Finns are very open, welcoming and curious about things.” she says, “It’s about sisu!” Camilla Bergman This week we are celebrating our volunteers by sharing their stories in the Duo Blog. We are currently looking for new volunteers to run multicultural and multilingual activities. If you are interested in leading activities in your language please fill in the volunteer application on our website or contact Familia’s volunteer coordinator, Camilla Bergman be email at camilla.bergman(at)familiary.fi.
Vaikka monikulttuurisuus on Johannalle itsestäänselvyys, hän usein kohtaa tilanteita, jossa hän joutuu selittämään muille mitä se tarkoittaa. “Itsellä on tullut joskus sellainen tunne, että minun pitää selittää miksi minulla on monikulttuurinen perhe, vaikka en ole kenellekään mitenkään tilivelvollinen. [Familiassa] ei koskaan ole tullut sellaista tunnetta, että pitäisi selittää itseään.” Viestintävapaaehtoisena toimiminen tuntui luontevalta askeleelta, jolla pystyi vaikuttamaan kotimaan asioihin.
Parasta vapaaehtoisuudessa on ollut Familian avoimuus ja yhteisöllisyys. “Vaikka jokainen meistä vapaaehtoisista tekee omaa toimintaansa omasta lähtökohdasta käsin, se on tosi yhteisöllistä toimintaa” , Johanna kertoo. “Familiassa ihmiset on ollut hirveän kannustavia ja tosi avoimesti suhtautuu ajatuksiin ja ehdotuksiin.” Vapaaehtoisuus merkitsee Johannalle yhteiseen hyvän edistämistä ja oman osaamisensa antamista muiden hyväksi. “Ei voida tietää kuinka isoja juttuja pienistä puroista syntyy. Minä en koskaan voi tietää kuka esimerkiksi lukee juttuani ja minkälaisia ajatuksia tai inspiraatioita siitä voi saada!” Camilla Bergman Tällä viikolla Duo Blogiin on kerätty Familian vapaaehtoisten tarinoita. Olemme tällä hetkellä etsimässä uusia vapaaehtoisia tuottamaan sisältöjä someen.

After participating in Familia’s Duo Family Training together, Veronika and Sonja decided to volunteer as Duo Mother & Baby Group facilitators. “When meeting all other pregnant ladies I thought it would be good to keep in touch, because we are in a similar situation”, Veronica remembers. “It was a lucky coincidence that we got to facilitate together, since we were in the same Duo Family Training.” Veronika and Sonja are both intercultural mothers. Veronika is originally from Russia and Sonja’s husband is from Egypt. Both women gave birth to their first born child this year. “I got interested in getting to know other multicultural families because I know it’s challenging to be abroad and as a family it’s hard to be balanced when the other one is living in their own country and the other one is from abroad.” Sonja shares, “I think it’s important to meet other families in the same situation and struggling maybe with the same kinds of things so you don’t feel you’re alone.” Familia's Duo Mother and Baby groups are facilitated by a pair of volunteers who are also mothers of intercultural baby families themselves. These groups are meant to be cozy and confidential meeting places for the mothers and babies of intercultural families where they can share their struggles and celebrate positive experiences. Duo Mother & Baby Groups meet for two months at a time for 6-8 weekly meetings. "The people of course are the most important and the best part." Veronika and Sonja have shared many good moments together and as a group. "I feel we had a good atmosphereas a group, but also got to know each other personally”, Sonja shares. “For example sometimes we went home just the two of us after the session and shared more personal things. The people of course are the most important and best part."
Even though the official meetings ended, Veronika and Sonja still stayed in touch with the group. “After the official sessions have ended the girls started to initiate different activities themselves. We went to a farm together to see animals”, Veronica shares, ”It was great to see that people bring something of themselves and are volunteering to organise activities.” The Duo Mother & Baby Group’s structure brought reassurance to Veronica and Sonja as facilitators. “If someone wants to try to facilitate a group it’s a good way to practice because there are two people to share the tasks, two brains”, says Veronika. However, in the end it’s the group itself who makes the experience. Sonja shares: “It’s more like the group is creating the whole thing. We just give starting points and then it’s the whole group together directing it. And the kids enjoy it a lot!” Camilla Bergman This week we are celebrating our volunteers by sharing their stories in the Duo Blog. We are currently looking for mothers to lead and participate in Duo Mother & Baby groups next year.

Myös yksilötasolla koronapandemian vaikutukset ovat olleet mittavia, maailma ympärillämme on muuttunut pysyvästi. Sanotaan, että oman osaamisensa kehittäminen on parasta sosiaaliturvaa, tämän olemme kouriintuntuvasti saaneet kokea myös viimeisen puolen vuoden aikana. Käynnissä oleva työn murros koskettaa jokaista suomalaista tavalla tai toisella. Työ ei lopu, mutta se muuttaa muotoaan. Uudenlainen työ vaatii uudenlaista osaamista, perinteinen polku opinnoista työelämään ja lopulta eläkkeelle on rapistumassa ja sen tilalle on noussut ajatus jatkuvasta oppimisesta ja aktiivisesta osallistumisesta läpi koko elämän. Tulevaisuudessa paras osaaminen voittaa, tästä syystä osaamistason nostaminen on tärkeää niin kilpailukyvyn kuin myös sosiaalisen inkluusion näkökulmasta. Työn murrokseen ei vastata ainoastaan lapsia ja nuoria kouluttamalla. Oppimisen on oltava jatkuvaa. Jokaisen kansalaisen on saatava mahdollisuus taitojensa ja osaamisensa kehittämiseen koko elämän ajan.
Myös ihmisen oma vastuu omasta osaamisesta kasvaa. Opiskelu siirtyy lapsuudesta ja nuoruudesta tasaisemmin koko elämän varrelle. Tarvitaan entistä parempia oppimisen taitoja. Tärkeintä on kyky oppia joustavasti uutta, myös töiden ohessa ja aikana. Työelämän ja työtehtävien muutoksia tai uudenlaisten työpaikkojen syntymistä on vaikea ennakoida täsmällisesti, mahdotonta on myös tietää kuinka kauan maailmanlaajuinen pandemia kestää tai tuleeko myöhemmin tilalle uusi epidemia. Suurissa muutoksissa tarvitaan motivaatiota ja innostusta uusien taitojen ja jopa uuden ammatin hankkimiseen, sekä joustavuutta ja kykyä sietää epävarmuutta. Yläasteikäisen poikani opettaja antoi tänä syksynä lapsille ikimuistoisen lahjan, hän kehotti lapsia tavoittelemaan viisautta. Hän kirjoitti myös meille vanhemmille kirjeen, jota tässä siteeraan. ”Tänä vuonna tulee kuluneeksi 150 vuotta Suomen kansalliskirjailija Aleksis Kiven pääteoksen Seitsemän veljestä julkaisusta. Heti kirjan alussa veljekset kohtaavat elämän realiteetit: ilman lukutaitoa on turha havitella avioliittoa, joten veljekset lähtevät lukkarin luo lukutaitoa hankkimaan. Veljesten haluttomuus paneutua opiskeluun ajaa heidät pakenemaan Impivaaraan, jossa he voivat elää ilman yhteisön ja yhteiskunnan asettamia odotuksia ja määräyksiä. Vetäytyminen yhteiskunnan ulkopuolelle ei kuitenkaan tarjoa ratkaisua onnelliseen elämään vaan eristäytyminen osoittautuu lopulta mahdottomaksi. Seitsemän veljeksen Timo on ehkä veljeksistä yksinkertaisin, mutta hän antaa hyvän ja vaativan ohjeen elämään: ”Ihmisen pitäisi aina oleman viisas.” Timo asettaa meille ehdottomuudessaan lähes mahdottoman tavoitteen, mutta tavoitteiden tuleekin olla korkealla.” Näiden sanojen myötä tahtoisin kannustaa meitä jokaista jatkuvan oppimisen ja itsensä kehittämisen tielle. Nähdään maailmanlaajuinen haaste mahdollisuutena parantaa omaa ja yhteiskuntamme osaamista. Oppiminen on elämänmittainen matka! Johanna Koponen Kirjoittaja toimii erityisasiantuntijana ulkoasiainhallinnon palveluksessa ja on nelihenkisen monikulttuurisen perheen äiti. Tänä syksynä Familiaan saapui uusia kasvoja! Tutustu Camillaan, Familian uuteen vapaaehtoistoiminnan koordinaattoriin. Kuka olet? Olen Camilla Bergman, Familian uusi vapaaehtoistoiminnan koordinaattori. Koulutukseltani olen melkein valmis ranskan kielen FM ja aloitan yhteisöpedagogin opinnot HUMAKissa tänä syksynä työn oheessa. Lisäksi minulle on kertynyt neljän vuoden kokemus nuorten vapaaehtoisten johtamisesta, globaalikasvatuksesta ja kansainvälisen vapaaehtoistyön kehittämisestä esimerkiksi AIESECissa, Taksvärkissä ja EYPssä. Suomen lisäksi olen asunut ulkomailla Ranskassa, Perussa ja Romaniassa. Vapaa-ajallani tykkään ulkoilla, kuunnella podcasteja ja leipoa. Miksi Familia? Innostuin alun perin järjestötyöhön, kun olin 2 kuukautta vapaaehtoisena Perussa. Järjestötyön monipuolisuus antaa puitteet kehittyä monella eri tavalla eikä järjestöissä ole koskaan tylsää päivää. Familiassa minua kiinnosti erityisesti järjestön merkityksellinen missio ja mahdollisuus saada aikaan kestävä muutos pieneen järjestöön. Mitä tuut tekemään? Tulen toimimaan Familian yhteyshenkilönä kaikkeen vapaaehtoistyöhön liittyen joulukuun 2020 loppuun asti. Lisäksi tulen rakentamaan Familialle uusia toimintamalleja ja kehittämään vanhoja. Minuun voi siis olla yhteydessä vapaaehtoistyön aloittamiseen, toiminnan järjestämiseen tai toiminnan kehittämiseen liittyvissä kysymyksissä. Uskon, että järjestämällä ja kehittämällä Familian vapaaehtoistoimintaa voimme vaikuttaa positiivisesti monen ihmisen elämään! Ota yhteyttä! :) Camillaan voi olla yhteydessä sähköpostilla osoitteessa camilla.bergman@familiary.fi tai puhelimitse 050 502 1039. Who am I?
My name is Camilla Bergman and I am the new Volunteer Coordinator at Familia. My educational background is in French language and I am about to start a new degree as a Community Educator at HUMAK UAS. I have 4 years of experience leading youth volunteers and working with global education as well as developing international volunteering activities in organizations like AIESEC, Taksvärkki and EYP.In addition to Finland I have lived in France, Peru and Romania.

I love the variety of NGOs that allows you to develop yourself. There is never a boring day working in an NGO! I was drawn to Familia because of its important mission and the possibility to make a lasting change on a small organization. What will I be doing? I will be working as the contact person for Familia’s volunteers until end of December 2020. In addition to this I will be developing old and new frameworks for volunteering with Familia. You can contact me about any questions regarding starting volunteering, organizing or developing activities. I believe that by organizing and developing Familia’s activities we can make a positive impact on many people’s lives! Get in touch! :) You can contact Camilla by email at camilla.bergman@familiary.fi or by phone at 050 502 1039. |
