Finland breaks a world record in politics by proposing the formation of a first ever Immigrant Parliament in Western Europe.
Immigrant Parliament is a brainchild of Alexis Kouros a Finnish writer whose first book ‘Gondwana’s Children’ won the Finlandia Junior award in 1997.
Originally from Iran, Kouros has lived in Finland for almost 20 years; and is the Editor of Helsinki Times.
The proposed Immigrant parliament will galvanise a diverse population through seminars and discussion on issues of integration and diversity. It will also give a unified voice to foreigners living in that country.
Kouros said: “We thought that it might motivate and activate people”, and encourage them to take an active role in politics.
