I am a researcher on e-democracy at the University of Helsinki, Faculty of Social Sciences, Media and Communication Studies. I am currently  collaborating with a research team of the London School of Economics  (LSE) in the United Kingdom for a European project to inform the  European Commission on youth participation and youth policy for their  future policy regarding youth.

In the framework of this project, we wish to conduct a series of focus groups. One of the focus groups will gather young people who are neither in education nor employed. I would appreciate it very much if you could  help me to find 5 – 6 young people of this profile between the ages of  17-27. My assistant will conduct the focus group in Finnish under my  supervision.

We plan to conduct the focus group in the coming two weeks in the city  center at Uusi Ylioppilastalo Mannerheimintie 5A (Virgin Oil Co:n  vasemmalla puolella oleva rappu.)

It will be a two hours discussion, there will snacks and the  participants will receive two movie tickets. The public transportation  expenses will also be covered.

Thank you so very much for your help

Happy New Year!

Best Wishes,
