Abstract

Having already completed degrees in environmental engineering and theology and work experience with refugees and immigrants, I turned to social work studies in search of means to help people more comprehensively. My move was motivated by my experience of the current (Finnish) welfare system as too bureaucratic and public services not meeting the needs of clients. I wanted to be able to bring about change in this.
