Green Habito and our incredible partners had the privilege of participating in the Anna Lindh Foundation (ALF) Week, a time dedicated to building a more inclusive, sustainable and just future. The week was filled with meaningful connections, empowering activities and invaluable discussions.
Highlights from ALF Week:
✨ Building connections – We came together with ALF members from across Finland, strengthening our collective impact and deepening our shared commitment to creating positive change.
✨ Raising Awareness – We shed light on the Anna Lindh Foundation’s important work in the Euro-Med region and reinforced the importance of intercultural dialogue and cooperation.
✨ Feminist Advocacy – ALF member organisations were empowered to tackle feminist issues head-on, fostering a deeper understanding of gender equality and how we can collectively drive change.
✨ Youth Engagement – We engaged migrant youth in conversations about building a greener and more inclusive Finland, emphasising the importance of their voices in shaping the future.
Our expert, Laura Rajala, gave a powerful presentation on ‘Gender Segregation in Education and the Labour Market’, delving into critical issues of feminism, education and gender equality.
The insights sparked engaging conversations and inspired participants to reflect on solutions to overcome gender inequalities. Following the presentation, we joined forces with other organisations in workshops to share ideas and develop strategies to create meaningful change.
The day was filled with fun, interactive workshops – including an environmental sustainability workshop, hands-on activities and leadership development. But that wasn’t all! We rounded off the evening with a delicious meal of chicken and kebabs, followed by a relaxing sauna and an exhilarating dip in an ice hole. What a way to end an unforgettable experience!
