This autumn Joensuu will offer information events on 17 different subjects to immigrants with a residence permit.

The themes are designed to assist integration and range from Finnish history to taxation, from hobbies to parenting.

The events will be held in four languages: English, Russian, Arabic and Dari. The first ones will take place in October, and each event will be repeated.

All immigrants having a residence permit are welcome, irrespective of the cause of immigration and justification of residence. Participants are asked to register at maahanmuuttajapalvelut@joensuu.fi or phone 050 411 2737.
