Hi, nice to have you here!The MunDuo project aims to provide intercultural youth and young adults aged 13-25 with a space and a variety of activities that support their well-being, where they can meet each other and strengthen their identity. We want to raise awareness and give visibility and represantation to intercultural youth and young adults, as weill as to their perspectives and needs.
The project offers volunteer activities, webinars, events, peer-to-peer activities and podcasts. The project also targets parents and professionals. Our activities are nationwide, so no matter from where in Finland you contact us from, we are here for you. By intercultural youth, we mean young people who have grown up in a family, where the parents come from different countries or who have more than one linguistic and cultural background. calendar 2025: save the dates

Video project 2024: Finnishness 2.0
Who is Finnish and who is not? Who, if anyone, has the right to define the cultural identity of others?
In this video, mixed young people and adults share their stories, tell their own experiences and views, and how they would like to see Finnish society and Finnishness defined in the future. This Video is in Finnish.
You can watch it here. Enjoy!
Triggerwarning: This video also deals with experiences of racism and discrimination, which may evoke challenging emotions in viewers who have experienced similar situations and feelings.
Additional information:
The filming and editing were handled by project manager Amrita, who previously had very little experience with this type of project. But the content turned out to be really varied, open, and thought-provoking. It gets you thinking about how we define being Finnish in our society and what it means when people make assumptions about others based on their culture or ethnicity without knowing their background

STORIES OF INTERCULTURAL YOUTH
|
|
INTERCULTURAL FAMILIES LIVING IN FINLAND HAVE ROOTS IN TWO OR MORE CULTURES. HOWEVER, THESE CULTURES CANNOT BE EVENLY DIVIDED INTO TWO WHEN LOOKING AT ONE'S OWN CULTURAL IDENTITY. EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR PARENTS' HOMELAND, LANGUAGE AND CULTURE. AND EVERYONE IS MAKING THEIR OWN EXPERIENCES. |
