Has Finnish development assistance gone down the drain? Come and find out at the Foreign Ministry's Kankkula well stand at the Railway Square
The Ministry for Foreign Affairs participates in the annual World Village Festival on 25–26 May with their own stand, called the Kankkula well. The Finnish expression, something “goes into the Kankkula well”, means that something goes down the drain, is wasted. At the Festival, Foreign Minister Erkki Tuomioja and Minister for International Development Heidi Hautala will also speak in the panel discussions held during the event.
