In this third episode of the Youth Open Microphone (Nuorten Avoin Mikrofoni) podcast series, our guest Kirsimarja Raitasalo joins us to discuss youth involvement, mental health, social well-being, and active citizenship.

Community & Civic Engagement: How local organizations and peer platforms create meaningful opportunities for youth.
“Nuorten Avoin Mikrofoni” (Youth Open Microphone) is a youth participation project carried out by the Together Platform, a working group under FIN POLAR Kulttuurikeskus ry. This project is funded by the European Union through the European Solidarity Corps (managed in Finland via the Finnish National Agency for Education – OPH).
