The Importance of Signing the Familia Ry Petition - Embracing Multilingualism in Finland
Finland has already a linguistic diversity, with people from various cultural backgrounds calling it home. However, the current system officially restricts individuals from registering only one mother tongue. This limitation prevents the development of comprehensive multilingual services in crucial sectors such as healthcare, social services, and education. It is time to advocate for change and support the Familia Ry petition, which aims to allow the registration of multiple mother tongues. In this blog post, we will explore why signing this petition is vital for promoting equality, inclusivity, and a better understanding of linguistic identities.
