Finnish communities abroad consist of groups of people of Finnish descent living outside of Finland. These communities can be found in various countries, including Sweden, the United States, and Australia. They often maintain their cultural heritage through language, traditions, and social events, fostering a sense of belonging among members. Many Finnish expatriates participate in local organizations, such as Finnish churches and cultural associations, which help preserve their customs and promote Finnish culture. These communities also provide support networks for newcomers, making it easier for them to adapt to their new environments while staying connected to their roots.
