Afrofinns Achievement Awards

The Afrofinns Achievement Awards are individual and group awards, delivered to nominees at the Afrofinns Gala night. They are inclusive and suitable for a community with a wide range of abilities and interests. They can also be tailored to support any activity and provide a framework to support innovative ideas or curriculum for excellence.
The Afrofinns Achievement Awards offers a formal recognition and accreditation for members of the Afro-Finnish community. They are delivered in a range of 13 categories, which enables people to more effectively recognise and articulate their achievements within different contexts, increasing self-esteem, improving motivation and keeping them engaged within our society in general.

How do we decide who wins the awards?

The award selection process is based for a big part on examining the “plan-do-review” process, that has led to that achievement. How much planning, implementation process and what the outcome has provided as advancement to the individual and by ricochet to the community.
