Finnish Peacekeepers – Helsinki Region is an active training and veteran organisation for crisis management veterans. We are a member association of the Peacekeepers’ Association Finland. We bring together all Finns who have served or are serving in international peacekeeping, military, or civilian crisis management missions, regardless of their rank, age, or gender. Our regional association was founded in 1969 and has about 600 members. We organise a member evening on the second Tuesday of every month, where we can meet and hear interesting presentations. Important days of the year are the International Day of UN Peacekeepers on 29 May and UN Day on 24 October. We honour both the UN and our national traditions with guards of honour and wreath-laying, among other things. We take part in numerous events, training, shooting and other activities, and organise excursions and visits. Peer support is a priority focus of our activities. You can mirror your own service experience in crisis situations by listening to the experiences of others and vice versa.
