“…The focus group and the group interview were semi-structured and delivered in Finnish languages so that the predesigned themes could be covered in the discussions but also allow for free-form dialogue between the participants (Temelini, 2014). One of our aims was to assess the impact of stakeholder collaboration in validating and recognising non-formal competencies in the formal educational system and to determine how the respondents were able to illustrate this concept within both regional and Finnish-national contexts.…”

The increasing diversity in northern Finland calls for innovative ways to support the development of immigrant children's sociocultural skills so that they may improve their integration and active participation in Finnish society. Validating their competencies and recognising their academic and soft skills within non-formal learning environments can ease this integration and participation outside of school hours. This study explored special measures that can encourage young people to participate in the local community and in wider social work and assessed the roles that organisations play in providing non-formal education. In 2018, this qualitative research study conducted a focus group discussion amongst stakeholders (N = 40) in Rovaniemi, Finland. The results indicated that nonformal education and the recognition of the skills that children acquired through it resembled experiential learning, which can empower individuals. While non-formal education and learning are considered to be effective tools for empowering and encouraging participation from immigrant children, these terms require more explicit definition and development.
