Making Finland feel like home 🏡
Moving to Finland is one thing, but feeling at home is another. Why do so many internationals struggle with integration, and what can we do to fix it?
Join Marii Juht, Founder of Intero Integration, for a practical and eye-opening session on the biggest mistakes people make when trying to integrate and how building the right social circle can change everything. We will break down the key challenges, share real solutions, and give you actionable steps to make Finland feel like home.
