The National Dialogues in spring 2024 discussed the experiences of insecurity, security and trust people living in Finland. 111 Dialogues were held across Finland, including 35 Future Dialogues organized jointly by the Prime Minister’s Office and the Timeout Foundation as part of preparing the Government Report on the Future. The 1130 participants came from different social groups, cultural backgrounds, and professions. They ranged in age from five-year-olds pre-schoolers to participants in their nineties.
The Lockdown dialogue report has been published.
Immigration Dialogues, a series of discussions coordinated by the Ministry of the Interior, brought nearly 700 people together to talk about immigration. The discussions held in the autumn of 2022 aimed to provide people from different backgrounds with an opportunity to present their ideas and increase understanding of immigration. The final report was published on 8 March.
The Democracy Defence Dialogues were organised as a response to the concern about the state of democracy raised by Russian aggression on Ukraine. The unscrupulous attack against Ukraine made many aware that democracy is not self-evident. It must be supported on a daily basis and continuously renewed. All citizens are needed for this work.
