information needs when relocating to Finland?

Post by guuna » Thu Dec 04, 2003 6:52 pm

Hi there!

I am making my thesis and would be happy to hear your ideas on the information needs of a foreigner who is relocating to Finland. At the same time this information might be useful to everyone who is considering to possibility to come to Finland, or are just about to move here.

What kind of information on Finland, its culture, way of life, practical issues etc. would be valuable in order to settle in Finland as easily as possible? What should you find out already before arrival?

Any comments would be highly appreciated! :-)

I guess the needs would vary pretty much according to the circumstances. In order to advise; what are yours?

Hi dusty-bin!

I am not consentrating in any particular circumstances here, but I do understand that the information needs vary a lot: e.g. families with children have very different needs than singles (just to name one example). This is why it would be interesting to hear how people from different backgrounds have expericed their move, and which issues they consider to be of outmost importance in order to make the relocation as smooth as possible.

In that case a few hours spent reading this board would be as instructive as anything we might write now...
