WELCOME!

 

Inkeri-seura (Association of Ingrian Finns) was founded by the community of Ingrian Finns, who lived in Finland before World War II. The society had existed up to the beginning of the 1990s, but due to a decrease of the number of its members it was officially closed. In 2008 the society was re-established by Ingrian Finns who had migrated to Finland in the 1990s. The society (it's new name Association of Ingrian Finns of Helsinki region) is the member of SuomenInkeri-Liitto (Ingrian Finns’ Organisation of Finland). InkerinViesti is a printing press magazine of the society.

28 ноября мы посетили ярмарку волонтерских организаций, действующих в Финляндии. Их целью было познакомить пожилых жителей столичного региона с деятельностью различных организаций, которые могут быть им полезны. На ярмарке были представлены Союз пенсионеров Финляндии, финское национальное агенство СIMO, организации, представляющие помощь и поддержку лицам, страдающим диабетом, аллергиями или астмой, сердечными заболеваниями. Свои стенды имели также организации, работающие с минрантами. Целью ярмарки было не только ознакомление с работой организаций, но и привлечение в свои ряды новых волонтеров. 

  

European Seniorforce Day events were staged across all Member States around October 1, the International Day of Older Persons, as a way to engage and harness the power of senior volunteers.

The idea behind this initiative promoted by the European Commission and held in the framework of the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations is to mobilise people 60+ who have plenty to offer their families and communities and to find ways to utilise the potential of this formidable force.

With over 11,000 participants, the Seniorforce Day initiative has received a wide support all over Europe. Presidents, ministers, high-level officials, NGO representatives, scientists and EY2012 Ambassadors took part in the 25 events promoted by the European Commission to honour senior volunteers.

  • Finland, 15 September 2012 - An event of Occupy Your Own Age in Helsinki was also a Seniorforce celebration.
