In the project I had an opportunity to collect research material to my own research, which concerns participation of the young immigrants in the context of Finnish social services. I interviewed young immigrants, social workers and social management. I studied how young immigrants, social workers and social management see participation of young immigrants in the context of Finnish social services and society. I wanted to study how young immigrants\u00b4 participation is shown, when participation is studied in the dialogue of the perspectives of young immigrants, social workers and social management.<\/div>\n<p class=\"Standard\">In the research I approached participation from the resource-oriented point of view. This means, that participation as phenomenon is based on individual\u2019s personal strengths and resources. Participation is individual\u2019s opportunities to use his or her strengths and resources for his or her self-fullfilment. One part of the questions for young immigrants was related to strengths and resources of the young immigrants. I asked how young immigrants consider their strengths and resources, what they are good at and have they discussed with their social workers about their strengths and what they are good at.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Standard\">I interviewed twenty five young immigrants. Nine interviewees answered, that they had discussed about their strengths and what they are good at with their social worker. Sixteen of the interviewees hadn\u2019t discussed about their strengths. Twelve interviewees answered, that it would be good or could be useful to discuss about strengths or it wouldn\u2019t harm or benefit to discuss, or if the social worker asked, they would tell about their good sides. Six interviewees answered, that it\u2019s no use, it isn\u2019t important, it\u2019s useless or it didn\u2019t help to discuss about own strengths and good sides with the social worker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Standard\">You can find more information on the results by clicking the following report (in Finnish) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.welcomeoffice.fi\/media\/Turunen_M__Maahanmuuttajataustaiset_nuoret_aikuissosiaalityon_asiakkaana.pdf\">Maahanmuuttajataustaiset nuoret aikuissosiaality\u00f6n asiakkaina &#8211; osallisuuden uudet haasteet? Tuloksia sosiaality\u00f6ntekij\u00f6iden ja -johdon sek\u00e4 nuorten teemahaastatteluista.<br \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"Standard\">I paid attention to the amount of respondents, who answered, that it would be good to discuss about their strengths and the amount of respondents, who answered, that it\u2019s no use or it\u2019s useless to discuss about their strengths. Young immigrants willing to discuss about what they are good at seem to maintain hope about bringing out their strengths. I am concerned about young immigrants, who consider, that discussing about their strengths is useless or there is no use to discuss about them. Compared to the idea of participation, that participation is individual\u2019s opportunities to use his or her strengths and resources for his or her self-fullfilment it seems to me, that these six young people have somehow given up hope to bring out their strengths and show, what they can. I think that these results represent some kind of risk of social exclusion and the results should be worried about viewed from the perspective of social exclusion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Standard\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/midgard.uwasa.fi\/fi\/blogs\/project\/thesis\/photo_minna_turunen.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"photo Minna Turunen.jpg\" title=\"photo Minna Turunen.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Figure 1.
