What does the Partnership Platform contain, and what can I do there?
The Partnership Platform, a community of hundreds of operators in the fields of immigrant integration and the reception of refugees
The objective is to have more than a thousand registered members in the Partnership Platform, all of whom work with immigrant integration or the reception of refugees. These parties, acting under their own name, form the Partnership Platform community. The members come from different sectors and focus on different areas. The fields of immigrant integration and the reception of refugees are diverse and multidisciplinary, and the diverse competence of the members makes the community unique.
You can use the Contact person search to look for project or network partners in the Partnership Platform community. For example, you can perform theme- or area-specific searches on people.
You can join the Partnership Platform community when your registration as a member of the Partnership Platform has been approved. Registration is free of charge, and your membership information is not made public. Only the other members will know you are a member.
Partnership Platform administrators check all registration requests and only approve people using their own name as members of the community.

Free digital workspaces for projects
When you register with the Partnership Platform, you can create workspaces and join workspaces. The workspaces are suitable for a variety of purposes, for example, for organising events, project management, sharing files, joint development or the communications of a regional network, or as a training tool.
You can create your own workspace. It is free, and there are no limits to the number of workspaces you can create or restrictions to their purpose. However, the administrators of the Partnership Platform will monitor the platform in particular throughout the beta phase to ensure that the platform is used for the purposes for which it is intended, and that the content created on the platform is not identical to the content already available on the kumppanuusalusta.kotoutuminen.fi and kotoutumisentukena.fi websites.
All workspaces are shown on the Workspace page on the Partnership Platform for registered users. Workspaces can be either public or private. If a workspace is public, all members can see the materials uploaded to the workspace and messages sent in it. If a workspace is private, only its public information is shown to others, such as its introduction, status (i.e. in preparation, active or archived) and the workspace administrators. You decide whether your workspace is private or public. Please note that the content of a public workspace can be viewed by all users of the platform.
You can search for workspaces that interest you by using keywords. You can contact a workspace by sending a request to join to the administrator of the workspace in question. The administrator’s email address can be found on their profile page.
You can request to become a member of a workspace by sending a request on the workspace’s homepage. Note that the administrators of all workspaces are free to decide whether to accept or reject a request.
