We organise subsidised holidays for intercultural families with in cooperation with Hyvinvointilomat ry and Maaseudun Terveys- ja Lomahuolto ry (MTLH). 

​Subsidised vacations are granted on economic, health and social grounds primarily to people who have not received a subsidised vacation before. Vacation organisations make vacation selections independently, and the selections take into account the dates of the applicants' previous vacations and the number of vacations received. You cannot get a holiday in consecutive years, and first-timers have priority in selections.

Subsidised vacations include breakfast, lunch, dinner, and an evening snack. Entertainment, group activities and limited childcare service is also available.
 
Our 2024 subsidised vacations for intercultural families with children are:
  • Easter holiday for families with children 26.-31.3.2024 in Liikuntakeskus Pajulahti (Hyvinvointilomat ry)
  • Family holiday 28.3.-2.4.2024 in Lohja Spa & Resort (MTLH ry)
  • Peer holiday for intercultural families with children 23.6.-28.6.2024 in Liikuntakeskus Pajulahti (MTLH ry)
