The Vietnamese people in Finland have integrated very well into the Finnish society and made positive contributions. However, the common challenges are that younger Vietnamese generations do not have many opportunities to get exposed to their original language and culture. There has been no such activities to promote and encourage Vietnamese and Finnish-Vietnamese families to learn about their roots and to get to know others. Usually they spend time at home, seeing relatives or friends. Sometimes there are non-periodic or more special events like Lunar New Year, Full Moon festival organized in the small scale by the Vietnamese community association or other groups. 

A publication by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment of Finland published on 4 June 2019 namely “Nordic Vietnamese. Our community in Finland” by author Kathleen Valtonen also showed that “mother tongue instruction programmes should be resourced more strongly and reinforced alongside the school curricula. Grave problem situations can arise and have arisen when youth gradually lose their mother tongue and communication lines with parents possessing weak Finnish language skills are broken.” and “social interaction is of great importance to Vietnamese people. The pleasure of being with others is an important factor in the settlement process. However, those who have good Finnish friends adapt better to the society, and that individuals without Finnish friends would adapt less easily“. 

BiziVietnam want to create activities for the children so that they get excited, they love and from there they will have motivation to learn and use the language and develop their love for their root culture. We also want to initiate activities for Vietnamese people and Finnish friends to gather for sharing their stories, experience, expertise and helping one another.
