Thank you for the past year!
The entire staff of The Citizens’ Forum warmly thanks all our partners for the past year.
Together, we have carried out valuable work by creating opportunities for learning together, coming together, and collective insight within civic organisations across Finland.
Instead of sending Christmas cards this year, we made a donation to support the work of Ikimetsän ystävät ry. The association’s mission is to protect forest ecosystems and to promote positive attitudes towards nature conservation.
The offices of The Citizens’ Forum will be closed for the holiday period from 24 December to 1 January.
We will return in January, refreshed and inspired to continue our work in cultural liberal adult education. In 2026, we will celebrate our 50th anniversary dedicated to cultural civic education. We will meet members of our member organisations at events and gatherings under the theme Education resonates in communities.
We wish you a peaceful midwinter celebration and all the very best for the New Year 2026.
