I have been involved in two initiatives lately, Finndiversity and the EVA Expat Forum, where professionals of foreign and local extraction come together and discuss what are the challenges faced by this community and what actions can be taken to bring it forward. While a good start (in the sense that this section of society is finally starting to get organised), there is still a very long way to go.
For starters, we are showing that an immigrant is not necessarily a refugee nor on the dole, as is so often claimed here.
