#52 Multilingual and Multicultural MONIKU-service with Counsellor Alba

Mastering Finland

Moniku began as a temporary project aimed at reducing inequality and usage of rehabilitation services among multicultural families. When the need for Moniku services continued to grow, however, the project was made permanent. Today, Alba serves about 15 families per week. Moniku’s services are important, Alba explains, because multicultural parents might be reluctant to speak their native languages with their child or expose their children to their native cultures. This could be for many reasons; for example, families might fear impacting their child’s Finnish language learning. Links: Moniku Palvelu Espoo MONIKU-palvelu Facebook
