International Friendship Societies

"Friendship Societies", or "International Societies" are communities which aim to strengthen friendship and cultural ties between Finland and other nations (for example, The Finnish-Australian Society). For this purpose they arrange formal and informal meetings, lectures, social gatherings, language courses and more. If you're looking to meet your compatriots or Finns interested in your country, these societies should be a good place to start your search.

Friendship societies have a non-political agenda and generally raise funds for their activities by charging a membership fee. There are over 60 countries with such societies in Finland.

If you would like your organisation added to the following list, or notice that details for an organisation have changed, please contact Expat Finland.
