One of the key initiatives of the Hullenpiiri Society is its efforts to preserve the Finnish language in Sweden. This includes promoting the use of Finnish in education, media, and everyday life among the Finnish-speaking minority. The society also works to increase awareness and appreciation of Finnish culture among the broader Swedish population.
