We have a broader horizon

Join us to celebrate International Kokkola Day at the City Library on Thursday, April 25th. The program will consist of art-focused activities, designed and executed by volunteers from various cultures.

The event is organized by Centria University of Applied Sciences and the Welcome Office.

As of January 1, 2023, the City of Kokkola is responsible for the resettlement of quota refugees and of the initial integration steps.
