Welcome to the Towards a Safer Future  – security fair, to find out about our Defence Forces and other Finnish security authorities and organisations. At the security fair next to the Adult Education Centre Turku campus you can meet representatives of the following:

• Turun Sotilaskotiyhdistys (a Turku military home association) and Rannikkosotilaskotiyhdistys (a coastguard home association)
• The Defence Forces, with the focus on the Finnish Navy

Come along to the security fair to see the equipment the organisations use, talk to the exhibitors and demonstrators, and try out your resuscitation skills, for example, or how to put out a fire. Colleges in the safety and security field will also present various future study and employment opportunities. The FRC’s blood service bus will also be there (Tuesday 6 May, 10:00-17:00), so you can give blood too if you wish.

The Taitaja2025 Turku event security fair promises to be a comprehensive survey of how Finland deals with matters of safety and security so that everyone in the country lives safely. At the same time, Finnish safety and security organisations are keen to present the training and career paths they offer to guarantee sufficient availability of professional experts in the future. The whole issue of safety and security rests on cooperation between all organisations.
