The Partnership Platform is an interactive, digital and collaborative workspace for operators, experts, stakeholders and networks working in the fields of immigration, immigrant integration and the reception of refugees.
The Partnership Platform and the kumppanuusalusta.kotoutuminen.fi and kotoutumisentukena.fi websites jointly form a set of online services providing information, tools, best practices, and a collaborative platform for the operators in the fields of immigrant integration and the reception of refugees.
The Partnership Platform is a collaborative workspace and a channel for sharing information for operators working with immigrant integration, immigration and the reception of refugees. The beta version of the Partnership Platform was released on 30 November 2021. This means the Partnership Platform is still being developed. The goal is to discontinue the use of the beta version by the summer of 2022.
In addition to the content available on the kumppanuusalusta.kotoutuminen.fi website and the low-threshold activities published on the kotoutumisentukena.fi websites, the Partnership Platform includes collaborative workspaces that registered members can use in their cooperation. You can use the workspaces for discussions, and to share information and materials. Anyone working in the fields of immigrant integration or the reception of refugees can set up a workspace to help with the collaborative activities related to their working group, project or event organisation.
