WHO WE ARE
The Finnish-Zambian Association – Suomi-Sambia-seura was founded in 1977 by a group of Finnish experts who had worked on various assignments in Zambia. They form Finzam as an association to promote Zambia in Finland. Since then the Finnish Zambian Association has aimed to bring together Finnish people and other nationals interested in Zambia, Zambians living in Finland and Finnish-Zambian families in order to enhance the friendly relations and cultural understanding between each other. The Finnish-Zambian Association also aims to uphold the interests of community development in Zambia, Zambian cultural activity in Finland, and bi-lateral relations between Zambia and Finland.
ACTIVITIES
The Finnish-Zambian Association seeks to promote awareness of Zambia in Finland and as well as disseminate Zambian languages and culture. This is done through lectures and other events that are frequently visited by Zambian artists and cultural personas. The association creates relations between Finns and Zambians by organizing cultural events.
