Social Integration 
Through City Adventure

Kaupunki Kaverit (City Friends) is a project that promotes two-way integration, bringing together people from different backgrounds to explore the city, share experiences, and build a sense of community.

Our volunteers across Finland organise urban walks in different neighborhoods, each walk offering a unique perspective — cultural, historical, or architectural. These walks are not guided tours, but opportunities for conversation, learning, and connection.

We warmly welcome volunteers from all backgrounds — both locals and those with a migrant background.

Why It Matters​​

Moving to a new country can be lonely and stressful and many people struggle with isolation, anxiety, and not knowing how to connect with their new environment. Kaupunki Kaverit helps by creating a safe and welcoming space where people can explore together, build friendships, and feel part of the community. Just walking, talking, and sharing everyday experiences can be powerful.

Key Activities ​

We organize exciting 2–4 hour city adventures where participants discover local spots and enjoy playful, interactive activities. Each event is co-led by volunteers who plan and guide the experience so that they run smoothly and are enjoyable for all participants.

Each event features different themes and takes place in various parts of the city, often in collaboration with local organizations and companies. This allows people to gain diverse experiences and deeper insights into the local culture and community services. Volunteers help design the themes, set up the exploration activities, and guide the participants throughout the event.
