The Integration Partnership Platform is an interactive and digital collaborative workspace for operators, experts, stakeholders and networks working in the fields of immigration, immigrant integration and the reception of refugees. The Partnership Platform includes workspaces that registered members can use for networking, discussions, and sharing information and materials.
In addition to the content that is available for everyone and low-threshold activities, the Partnership Platform includes collaborative workspaces that registered members can use in their cooperation. You can use workspaces for discussions, and sharing 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. Workspaces are free of charge.
Administration and development of the Partnership Platform
The Partnership Platform is administered and developed by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment’s Centre of Expertise in Immigrant Integration and the Immigrant Integration Group of the Employment and Entrepreneurship Department together with the contact persons from ELY Centres.
The administrators of the Partnership Platform are responsible for any errors in the content and for correcting them. The administrators are not responsible for the correctness of contents or contents in the workspaces linked outside the platform or other online services.
The Partnership Platform was released on 30 November 2021. The platform was developed in cooperation with various actors in service design workshops held in spring 2021. Representatives of the Ministry, authorities and municipalities as well as NGOs and projects were involved in the planning. The experiences of developing and administrating the TUOVI portal was also utilized in the joint development of the Partnership Platform. The Partnership Platform is actively developed based on the feedback, needs and requests of users.
