How can we simultaneously ensure care for the elderly and job opportunities for young people? Will our public services continue to function well? How can we maintain security and peace in a world of prevailing conflicts? Will we succeed in adapting to climate change and halting biodiversity loss?
The autumn National dialogue days are Thursday 22nd of October and Tuesday 24th of November. You can also organise dialogues on any other day as long as it is held before the end of November.

Our society is on the cusp of major changes. In particular, changes in our population, economy, national security and natural environment require us to think and act in new ways. Amidst these numerous changes, many people living in Finland are wondering which direction our country is heading in.
Participation is easy and does not require a major input from the discussion organiser. The most important thing is the desire to join.
A summary of the discussions will be drawn up and published for open use. It will also be submitted for use in public administration and decision-making.
The aim is to achieve a large number of dialogues organised by different actors in different parts of Finland, where people living in Finland can engage in diverse discussions, hear each other’s views, delimit boundaries between different views, understand something new, share observations and build mutual trust together.
The discussion can be held for 1,5 or 2 or 3 hours, either face-to-face or remotely.
We provide discussion organisers with a comprehensive materials package and free training sessions, making it easy to organise a dialogue.
You can view the discussions that have already been registered here.
If you would like to participate as a discussion participant rather than organise one, choose a suitable open discussion at the bottom of the above page and register directly with the discussion organiser.
Welcome aboard! You’re needed!
The dialogues are coordinated by DialogiAkatemia, Opintokeskus Sivis and the Ministry of Finance.
