Vanha Suurtori 3, Turku, Finland
At the workshop, BIEN Finland will facilitate four group discussions on the theme of ‘UBI for (enhancing of ) Nordic cooperation’, .
Confirmed speakers at the seminar are:
Ville-Veikko Pulkka, from The Social Insurance Institution
Albert Svan, Pirate Party of Iceland
Christian Engström, Pirate Party of Sweden
Jouko Hemmi, BIEN Finland
Tapani Karvinen, whom BIEN contacted about the event, told the Basic Income news team:
We hope that our seminar will broaden the basic income discussion by showing what’s happening at the moment in Nordic countries.
Iceland, Sweden and Finland are all having a serious thought about fixing social security, at least in part, by basic income. Leading countries will be first to see what to do and what not, so sharing that information without borders will bring the threshold lower in other states to consider basic income – which in turn, will accelerate the discussion further.
