The institutes are independent and for the most part based on foundations. The most common functions of the institutes include cultural exchange and the export of art and culture. The aim of the institutes is to promote Finnish culture, art and science in their respective target countries as widely as possible, especially among expert audiences, and to promote cultural exchange and collaboration between Finland and the target countries as well as research and education relating to the respective fields of the institutes. Scientific institutes naturally emphasise the promotion and research of science, but they organise cultural activities as well.

An archive version is stored at http://homepage.univie.ac.at/Johanna.Laakso/Hki/ johanna.laakso@univie.ac.at This page is an extremely subjective vision of Finnish culture in a wide sense. It rests heavily on the example of Mark Rosenfelder's and others' similar "tests" for other nations and cultures. Enjoy! Johanna.Laakso@Helsinki.FI If you're Finnish... You are familiar with many TV personalities and celebrities, Finnish and foreign. The latter are, in decreasing order of probability, American, English, Scandinavian (rarely), French or German (very, very rarely). You believe in the news on TV and in the newspapers. In fact, you are used to believing in most of what you read or hear people are supposed to "say what they mean" or remain silent. You have (or you plan to have) a family, which means a spouse and 1 to 3 children (but not having one doesn't mean a catastrophe). It's possible that you are a single or divorced parent, even a mother who has never wanted to marry or live with the father of her child(ren). You may state that "old people should be respected", but you know you don't have to obey your parents, at least not if you are over 18.

The Finnish Sauna The Finnish Sauna How to use a sauna Health issues Your own sauna History and traditions ... About this site Recommended reading Sauna: Construction, Use and Benefits... Rob Roy The sauna is... by Bernhard Hillila Updates Home Sauna Company (UK) added to the manufacturers' list. An introduction... The sauna is a small room or hut heated to around 80 degrees Celsius. It is used for bathing as well as for mental and physical relaxation. While a hot sauna may seem a cruel punishment to unexperienced bathers, it is actually a very pleasant experience. All you need is a towel and at least half an hour of time. Start with a shower, then enter the sauna for a few minutes, listening to your senses. When you've had enough, take a refreshing shower, cool off for awhile and repeat once or twice. And no need to worry, it's entirely safe ... and a lot more The sauna has a long history and close relatives in other cultures: the Russian banya, the Native American sweat lodge or inipi, the Turkish hamam, even the Japanese onsen. In Finland it has at least a thousand years of history There are 1,212,000 saunas in private apartments in Finland (2002 statistics). With another 800,000 installations in summer cottages and public swimming pools that makes for more than 2 million saunas for a population of 5.2 million. For comparison, we have just under 2.5 million cars and trucks. If you are thinking of building a sauna of your own, start with these

13. The Finnish Culture The finnish culture does not contain the US hypocricy nor the Brittish smalltalkbullshit. An important issue is the attitude to alcohol. http://www.niksula.cs.hut.fi/~walther/life/culture.html

Culture? Of all cultures, ever even for a second spotted on this tiny planet of ours, the Finnish is superior. The complete and unconditional respect for personal freedom, shown by, for example, the famous Finnish elevator behaviour and the almost magic Finnish silence, is something very special. The Finnish culture does not contain the US hypocricy nor the Brittish small talk-bullshit. An important issue is the attitude to alcohol. Getting drunk is not something typically Finnish, although it's rather common in Finland, since it's being done all over the world. The only difference is that our superior culture allows us to do in the restaurant what other people have to do at home, perhaps with the kids wathing. What is wrong with being loaded like a freight train and what does it help to hide it in the closet? Typical for Finns is also the sence for fairness - noone should be worse off than the others. In Finland this is achieved by making sure that noone does any better than the others: a tax system that doesn't encourage working and even heavier taxes for those who actually work. Very typical is also that artists who making a career abroad always get backstabbed at home - "He's actually a jerk" or "The success has really got to her". As said before, noone should have it any better than than the others... The perhaps best proof is the Finnish attitude to urination in the street. People take a pee in a street corner every single day in every larger city in the world, but it is done only in the poor neighborhoods, where you're certainly able to smell it. In Finland it is spread around the city, mostly around bushes, trees, lawns and other similar places where fertilizers, in fact, are needed. This way it doesn't even smell! What's that to be ashamed of, isnt't it worse to use billoins of gallons of water to flush the toilet after a pee?

18. The Association Of Finnish Culture And Identity - Finnish Alliance Cultural organization with a goal to strengthen the Finnish identity. Informationabout famous Finns and early explorers. http://www.suomalaisuudenliitto.fi/sl-english.htm

Pääsivu History of Finland Links WARNING ... Sweden Association of Finnish Culture and Identity The Association of Finnish Culture and Identity , also known as the Finnish Alliance , is a Finnish cultural organization. The official name of the Association is in Finnish Suomalaisuuden liitto , in German Verband für das Finnentum e. V. and in French La Ligue Finlandaise The Finnish Alliance was founded by writer Johannes Linnankoski in 1906. The founding date was the 100th anniversary of J.V. Snellman , a prominent national Finnish philosopher and statesman. The purpose was and is still today to awaken and to strengthen the sense of national identity, to promote Finnish education and culture. A significant goal is to cultivate the Finnish language. One of the most far-reaching manifestations of the Finnish Alliance's activities was the mass fennification of family names in 1906-07. This was repeated in 1935-36 with the result of more than 200,000 people changing their family names into Finnish. The Association of Finnish Culture and Identity has played a remarkable role in Finnish cultural life. It provided the initiatives which led to the creation of the Fund for the Promotion of Finnish Literature (Suomen kulttuurirahasto), Suomi-Seura (an organization to unite the Finns abroad), and the Finnish Family Planning Association (Väestöliitto).

Nontheless, there are some general characteristics often associated with Finnish society and every day culture . Finns are generally a reserved people, like other Nordic peoples in Norway or Sweden . Finns like peace and nature, but there are also a lot of people who like to have fun in cities. They are generally compassionate, articulate, and clean. Cultural studies developed in the late 20th century, in part through the re-introduction of Marxist thought into sociology, and in part through the articulation of sociology and other academic disciplines such as literary criticism. ...
