Hidden Gems Spouses sharing experiences

Supporting spouses

Would you like to meet new friends, improve your language skills and learn more about Tampere? Our peer groups offer a welcoming space for international spouses to connect and explore options in Finland.

Through Hidden Gems activities, we create opportunities for community building, networking and professional growth, helping international spouses feel supported in Tampere.

In our peer groups, you will find support for navigating life and career in the new country. In many cases friendships are born!

We wish you and your family a warm welcome to Finland! 💜

Welcome to our community for spouses

At Tampere University (TAU), we understand that relocation with a family requires a lot from the whole family. Since 2018, our spouse programme Hidden Gems has been pioneering support for dual-career spouses in Finland, helping them build both personal and professional lives in the new country.

Currently, we offer peer groups twice a year and maintain an alumni community for those who have joined our groups. Once a Gem, always a Gem!
