 New Start Finland!

ANTI Festival is a part of the New Start Finland! research project lead by Janet Anand, Professor of International Social Work at the University of Eastern Finland. New Start Finland! is a part of the larger research project PROMEQ - Inclusive Promotion of Health and Wellbeing (2016-2019).

New Start Finland! aims at promoting health, wellbeing and integration of immigrants and asylum seekers.

ANTI Festival contributed in New Start Finland! by producing a community arts project lead by Helsinki based, American artist Ernest Truely. Both new immigrants and Finnish in origin were invited to participate in the workshops of the project through April and October 2017.  The artistic outcome of the project was presented in the programme of ANTI – Contemporary Festival which took place between 19th and 24th September 2017.
