This article focuses on the life courses of young people of migrant origin who are active in civic and political fields in Finland. The aim is to analyse, from the micro-level life course perspective, the issues in their lives that have helped them to become active. The article draws on empirical data collected using participatory methods. Four young people of migrant origin participated in the research process and contributed to the data analysis. The theoretical framework consists of Bourdieusian concepts of political habitus and emotional, cultural and social capital. The article shows that participants gained strong emotional capital during their childhood, which laid the groundwork for the formation of their cultural capital–referring here to an ability to navigate between diverse cultures. This, in turn, helped them to network widely across ethnic and linguistic lines, not only in Finland but also transnationally. Different capitals have been significant in the formation of the young people’s political habitus, which is transnational in nature. Although they belong to a minority in Finnish society and face discrimination, they have made good use of the opportunities in Finland to become active in civic and political fields.

成为政治上活跃的人：芬兰的移民起源者的生活历程和首都的形成

本文重点介绍在芬兰活跃于公民和政治领域的移民移民年轻人的生活路线。目的是从微观人生历程的角度分析生活中帮助他们变得活跃的问题。本文借鉴了使用参与式方法收集的经验数据。四名外来务工青年参与了研究过程，并为数据分析做出了贡献。该理论框架由布尔迪厄斯的政治习惯概念以及情感，文化和社会资本组成。文章显示，参与者在童年时期就获得了强大的情感资本，这为他们的文化资本的形成奠定了基础-这里指的是能够在多种文化之间进行导航的能力。反过来，帮助他们跨种族和语言界广泛地交流，不仅在芬兰而且在跨国界。在形成具有跨国性质的年轻人的政治习惯中，不同的首都具有重要意义。尽管他们在芬兰社会中属于少数群体并面临歧视，但他们充分利用了芬兰在公民和政治领域活跃的机会。
