Mission
The values of the club are the mission to uphold an atmosphere of mutual respect and to be as inclusive as possible and to provide a programme that takes the interest of all members into consideration.
Purpose
The purpose of the Club is to promote contacts between Finnish & international women based in Helsinki.
The Club arranges a programme that unlocks access to extraordinary places and people.
Over 47 countries,
The International Women’s Club of Helsinki is proud to host over forty-seven nationalities, creating a real melting pot of cultures, and backgrounds.
The IWCH brings a taste of the world to Helsinki, fostering connections which last beyond borders.
Though some members come and go, as the life of a world citizen demands, being an IWCH member is more than having a membership – it is something you are.
… and over 160 women, of all ages!
At IWCH, friendships are bound neither by nationality nor age, rather by means of sharing experiences, fostering an atmosphere of mutual support; culminating in discovering the world together, right here in Helsinki.
In this large group, naturally the age range is quite wide, from 23 to over 90 years old! The richness of intergenerational exchanges colours our interactions and lively conversations.
English speaking
As an international club, our official language is English, in all areas and at all times.
To foster our multilingualism, we have conversation groups in different languages.
Non-political
Everyone is welcome, regardless of their religion and/or political views, as long as they don’t use our club as a promotion platform.
