  • Activity Report
    ACTIVITY REPORT The 80th Grand Master of the Sovereign Order of Malta Fra’ Giacomo Dalla Torre del Tempio di Sanguinetto elected 2 May 2018 A message from the Grand Master As Grand Masters down the centuries before me have done, I now have the great re- Fra’ Giacomo sponsibility of leading our Order in its continuing mission of tuitio fidei et obsequium Dalla Torre pauperum (to care for those in need, inspired by our Christian principles) – which is in its almost one thousandth year. From the care for pilgrims and the sick in del Tempio Jerusalem carried out so long ago by our Founder Blessed Gérard and his congre- gation, to the care we give today to those in need, the Order has extended its reach di Sanguinetto but maintained its same inspiration. Our tradition is that of care and of a spiritual 80th Grand Master motivation. We have travelled through eras that have at times been difficult, but the of the Sovereign Order of Malta Order has always stayed the course and kept its focus on the most important mat- ters – our care for those who need us, with Christian love of our fellow man. The care we provide ranges over many kinds of support, and one of the most involv- ing at the moment is that of assisting the many thousands of refugees and migrants at all stages of their search for stability and a better life. We help them in their coun- tries of origin, on the routes they take to escape the crisis situations they leave be- hind and in the host countries.

  • Chapter 1 Migration in Finland and the Context of Integration Policy
    1. MIGRATION IN FINLAND AND THE CONTEXT OF INTEGRATION POLICY – 45 Chapter 1 Migration in Finland and the context of integration policy Despite rapid growth over the past 25 years, Finland’s migrant population is not large in international comparison. The foreign-born in Finland, however, come from a diverse range of countries and bring with them a concomitantly wide range of integration service needs. The increase in inflows – particularly asylum seekers – in 2015, put a strain on the Finnish integration system, which was designed to support far fewer migrants. And important changes were introduced as the system struggled to maintain efficiency in the fact of increasing demand. These changes included integration services organised into modules that could be more easily combined into a tailored package of measures and the introduction of the Social Impact Bond to harness private finance in support of integration. If effective in ensuring Finland’s migrants are well integrated in society and on the labour market, these investments will help to alleviate the ageing-related challenges the country expects in the coming years.. This chapter provides the context for the report outlining i) the integration context, and the characteristics and composition of Finland’s foreign-born population that influence their integration outcomes, as well as the labour market context and challenges this presents, before turning to ii) the recent developments in integration policy in Finland. WORKING TOGETHER: SKILLS AND LABOUR MARKET INTEGRATION OF IMMIGRANTS AND THEIR CHILDREN IN FINLAND © OECD 2018 46 – 1. MIGRATION IN FINLAND AND THE CONTEXT OF INTEGRATION POLICY Over the last quarter of a century, Finland’s foreign-born population has been growing at a compound annual rate of 6.8 %; where the foreign-born accounted for just 1% of the Finnish population in 1990, in 2016 they accounted for close to 6.5%.

  • Transnational Finnish Mobilities: Proceedings of Finnforum XI
    Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen (Eds.) Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen This volume is based on a selection of papers presented at Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen (Eds.) the conference FinnForum XI: Transnational Finnish Mobili- ties, held in Turku, Finland, in 2016. The twelve chapters dis- cuss two key issues of our time, mobility and transnational- ism, from the perspective of Finnish migration. The volume is divided into four sections. Part I, Mobile Pasts, Finland and Beyond, brings forth how Finland’s past – often imagined TRANSNATIONAL as more sedentary than today’s mobile world – was molded by various short and long-distance mobilities that occurred FINNISH MOBILITIES: both voluntarily and involuntarily. In Part II, Transnational Influences across the Atlantic, the focus is on sociocultural PROCEEDINGS OF transnationalism of Finnish migrants in the early 20th cen- tury United States. Taken together, Parts I and II show how FINNFORUM XI mobility and transnationalism are not unique features of our FINNISH MOBILITIES TRANSNATIONAL time, as scholars tend to portray them. Even before modern communication technologies and modes of transportation, migrants moved back and forth and nurtured transnational ties in various ways. Part III, Making of Contemporary Finn- ish America, examines how Finnishness is understood and maintained in North America today, focusing on the con- cepts of symbolic ethnicity and virtual villages. Part IV, Con- temporary Finnish Mobilities, centers on Finns’ present-day emigration patterns, repatriation experiences, and citizen- ship practices, illustrating how, globally speaking, Finns are privileged in their ability to be mobile and exercise transna- tionalism. Not only is the ability to move spread very uneven- ly, so is the capability to upkeep transnational connections, be they sociocultural, economic, political, or purely symbol- ic.

  • Finland's Dependence on Russian Energy—Mutually Beneficial Trade
    sustainability Article Finland’s Dependence on Russian Energy—Mutually Beneficial Trade Relations or an Energy Security Threat? Jaakko J.

Box 24, FI-00014 University of Helsinki, Finland; veli-pekka.tynkkynen@helsinki.fi * Correspondence: sakari.hoysniemi@helsinki.fi; Tel.: +358-50-3148944 Received: 31 August 2018; Accepted: 25 September 2018; Published: 27 September 2018 Abstract: Studies on energy security in the context of relations between European Union (EU) and Russia tend to focus on cases, with an open conflict related to supply, such as “hard” energy weapons, or on only one fuel, often natural gas. However, there is a need to understand the long-term impacts that energy relations have politically, economically and physically, and their linkages between resilience, sustainability and security. We analyse the Finnish-Russian energy relations as a case study, as they are characterised by a non-conflictual relationship. To assess this complex relationship, we apply the interdependence framework to analyse both the energy systems and energy strategies of Finland and Russia, and the energy security issues related to the notable import dependence on one supplier. Moreover, we analyse the plausible development of the energy trade between the countries in three different energy policy scenarios until 2040. The findings of the article shed light on how the trends in energy markets, climate change mitigation and broader societal and political trends could influence Russia’s energy trade relations with countries, such as Finland.

  • Council of Europe European Landscape Convention
    COUNCIL OF EUROPE EUROPEAN LANDSCAPE CONVENTION National Symposium on the implementation of the European Landscape Convention in Georgia Interministerial Round-Table: Integration of the landscape into policies Tbilisi, Georgia 9-10 March 2018 _________ Implementation of the European Landscape Convention: Experiences of parties to the convention Experience of Finland: Landscape awareness, training and education Mr Tapio HEIKKILÄ Senior Environmental Counsellor, Ministry of the Environment, Finland Landscape is an excellent tool when considering the relationship between humans and their environment. We are surrounded by landscapes, in nature and in towns, in the countryside and in suburbs. The landscape is both a concrete phenomenon and a subjective concept. According to the European Landscape Convention, “Landscape means an area, as perceived by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors”. Landscapes consist of numerous layers that reflect human history. Both positive and negative actions have left their trace on the landscape. When people become aware of the positive, valuable, elements of the landscape, we tend to believe that they will preserve these features or even act to produce more of these elements. When people see different kinds of damage in the landscape, we believe that they will act to repair the damage. Of course, this is an optimistic view, and it often does not come true for many economic, social and individual reasons. If we strive, nevertheless, to reach this optimum outcome, what is most important is that a high number of people exhibit a strong enough will to try to make a difference.
