This network has grown rapidly and works through trad itional group work. It supports effectively immigrant ladies in learning the Finnish language and integrating into Finnish society. \n\nInteract ion in the Auroras network will be two-fold: university educated immigra nt women will get deeper knowledge of Finnish work life\, improve their language skills and their opportunities to get employed to tasks that co rrespond to their education. In turn\, Finnish women will have opportuni ty to get acquainted with interesting women in this multicultural enviro nment and support their efforts to integrate into Finnish society throug h their own networks. \n\nThese meetings will be held both in Finnish an d in English. The themes in the Spring meetings will vary but the key me ssage is employment. \n\nMore information about this activity can be rec eived from the coordinator\, Henna-Maija Syrjälä\, tel. 045 1174282\, ko ordinaattori@luetaanyhdessa.fi\n\nwww.auroras.fi \nwww.akateemisetnaiset .fi\n LOCATION:Various locations in Greater Helsinki Region END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
