Kuopio Integration Programme

Kolme lasta istuu nurmikolla syömässä jäätelötötteröitä päässään karvahatut, joissa on I love Kuopio -pinssit.

Municipalities are legally required to have an integration programme to promote integration (Integration Act, section 32). The programme is approved by the municipal council of each municipality.

There is a wide range of services included in immigrant services (such as work-based immigration), which means that municipalities will continue to have a major role in the implementation of immigrant services like integration services, language courses, early childhood education and care, basic education, housing services, etc.
