Autokton ry, in collaboration with the Ana Lindh Foundation, successfully hosted the ALF in Motion: Mobility for Action program in Helsinki on 6-7 September 2024. This event, attended by Rudina Çollaku, the President and Founder of the Woman Center for Development and Culture Albania, explored multicultural integration through NGOs in Finland.

Participants engaged in workshops and panel discussions, including a guided tour of Helsinki's multicultural neighborhoods, and visited prominent NGOs such as Mirsal ry, where Executive Director Sandra Tutah provided valuable insights into NGO management and the role of organizations in fostering integration.

Rudina Çollaku remarked, “It is fascinating to see how different cultures coexist so beautifully in Helsinki, and the important work that NGOs do to achieve this is truly commendable."

The program deepened the collaboration between Albania and Finland, emphasizing practical strategies for creating inclusive communities.
