WELCOME TO FINLAND

Dear Friends and Colleagues!

I am proud and happy to invite the whole IFCO family as well as new friends of IFCO to the seventh European Conference in Tampere, Finland.

This IFCO 2002 conference will take us back to the basics of foster care, to the meaning of a good childhood, family and home. We shall learn how to listen to a child. We shall experience how emotions affect life in foster families. We shall try to find out how we can support foster children to feel at home with themselves throughout their whole life.

We are pleased to offer you an inspiring conference in a beautiful area of Finland. We are even happier to have this wonderful chance to share thoughts and information about foster care at an European level.

Welcome to Finland!
We will do our best to make You feel at home at the IFCO 2002 Conference and Tampere.

Leea Markkanen

Chair of the Organizing Committee
The Finnish Federation of Foster Care Associations

The patron of the conference is Mrs.Tarja Halonen, the President of the Republic of Finland.
