National Dialogue Day

Friends!

On May 22, Finland will host the National Dialogue Day (Kansallinen dialogi).

Across the country, people will gather in small groups to discuss a shared theme:“Mental well-being – what drains it and what strengthens it?”

Initiative FoReDi joins the National Dialogue and invites you to a meeting in Helsinki on May 22 at 18:00, especially for those who came to Finland after 2022.

We want to give everyone an opportunity to share their thoughts and feelings.We will discuss how environment and politics affect mental well-being, how conflicts and disagreements influence our inner state, and what each of us can do to strengthen our own and others' emotional resources.

The dialogue will be led by an experienced moderator to ensure everyone can speak comfortably.We expect up to 10 participants, so if you’d like to join, please message us in advance — we will reserve a spot for you.

This conversation will be private — only for registered participants.All thoughts shared during the discussion will be anonymized and included in a general report that will later be used by researchers and Finnish authorities to help develop social policy.

Come spend 2–3 hours in a friendly atmosphere, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, and talk heart-to-heart!
