Its logo features a monkey, inviting the \u201cdigital apes\u201d of the Niemikotis\u00e4\u00e4ti\u00f6 community to connect with it and through it in the urban jungle.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/niilo-naama.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16844\" srcset=\"https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/niilo-naama.png 500w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/niilo-naama-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/niilo-naama-200x200.png 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In Niilo, for example, users can set personal goals. When a goal is achieved, a \u201cpoint\u201d drops into their account \u2014 and since we\u2019re in the jungle, the symbol of a point is a banana. As bananas start to accumulate, Niilo gets different hats, and the user feels good for having accomplished something. In this way, Niilo encourages activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Niilo is more than just a tool for tracking tasks done independently. Many have found a community within the app, keeping in touch through chat channels and discussing various topics in different message threads. In the opinion of many \u2014 including the author \u2014 a week is best started with&nbsp;<strong>Monday\u2019s chat caf\u00e9<\/strong>, when everyone gathers online at the same time to talk. Peer experts play a major role in running the activities, as Niilo is designed&nbsp;<em>by<\/em>&nbsp;people in recovery&nbsp;<em>for<\/em>&nbsp;people in recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I asked two long-time Niilo users how the app appears in their lives today and how it did in the past. First, I spoke with <strong>Tuomas<\/strong>, Niilo\u2019s very first digital support person, about Niilo then and now. He originally joined by invitation, and over time the app has evolved through updates \u2014 for example, the role of digital support has changed accordingly. He has also seen some members of the community come and go over the years. Tuomas\u2019 wish is that Niilo would receive all the features that have been proposed as necessary. Above all, he thinks anyone who belongs to the target group should join Niilo \u2014 after all, Niilo is simply the best app!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another early pioneer is\u00a0<strong>Santtu<\/strong>, who has also worked as a digital support person for Niilo. He remembers the early days with optimism \u2014 Niilo was being designed as an app that could spread even internationally. He still likes the visual style that was created back then. In the beginning, there was a lot of development buzz on WhatsApp as well. These days, for him, Niilo is mostly about the chat side. The chat caf\u00e9s and message threads work well as part of his daily routine, and he also gives credit to the other peer experts and to the instructor <strong>Teppo<\/strong>. Santtu would like to see some kind of diary function added to Niilo (though of course Niilo\u2019s evolution hasn\u2019t stopped \u2014 editor\u2019s note). He would warmly welcome new people to both the chat threads and the chat caf\u00e9s. In the caf\u00e9s, participants sometimes just catch up with each other, and sometimes gather around a specific topic. At first, if someone doesn\u2019t feel like joining the conversation, they can simply follow along. But if they want to, they can also step in and even host a caf\u00e9 themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me personally, Niilo represents a well-proven way to start the week: Monday evening chat caf\u00e9s, which I sometimes host and sometimes join as a participant. To me, this practice captures Niilo\u2019s beautiful principle and implementation \u2014 everyone can participate in the way they want, not always leading the conversation, and not always just observing. Roles shift, as they ideally do in a democracy. The goals function as everyday motivators for me. And in the chats, I\u2019ve had moments of what I\u2019d call a \u201cconnection-plus\u201d experience \u2014 a sense of community that isn\u2019t always visible but is \u201cout there somewhere,\u201d and that makes each day just a little bit better.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 20px 0;\"><div class=\"qrcswholewtapper\" style=\"text-align:left;\"><div class=\"qrcprowrapper\"  id=\"qrcwraa2leds\"><div class=\"qrc_canvass\" id=\"qrc_cuttenpages_2\" style=\"display:none\" data-text=\"https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/en\/niilos-story-continues-online\/\"><\/div><div><a download=\"Niilo\u2019s story continues online.png\" class=\"qrcdownloads\" id=\"worign\">\r\n           <button type=\"button\" style=\"min-width:200px;background:#c8fd8c;color:#000;font-weight: 600;border: 1px solid #dddddd;border-radius:4px;font-size:12px;padding: 6px 0;\" class=\"uqr_code_btn\">Lataa QR-koodi<\/button>\r\n           <\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Niemikoti Foundation\u2019s Niilo app has been an important community and everyday motivator for many \u2014 a place to set goals, chat with others, and find companionship and meaning throughout the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":49058,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[842,735,295],"tags":[850,733,852],"yksikkokategoria":[112,801,108,116,109,110,115,101,106,104,107,100,103,102,105,113,191,111,114,117,118],"sisaltoluokka":[817],"class_list":["post-48357","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-digital-services-and-inclusion","category-from-shadows-to-light-blog","category-news","tag-co-creation","tag-experts-by-experience","tag-niilo-app","yksikkokategoria-haaga","yksikkokategoria-hallinto","yksikkokategoria-jalleenvuokraus","yksikkokategoria-kesaharju","yksikkokategoria-elvis","yksikkokategoria-malmi","yksikkokategoria-mieli-toihin","yksikkokategoria-eira","yksikkokategoria-kallio","yksikkokategoria-myllypato","yksikkokategoria-otsonpolku","yksikkokategoria-puusuutari","yksikkokategoria-siltakyla","yksikkokategoria-skarppi","yksikkokategoria-tinaseppa","yksikkokategoria-ompelimo","yksikkokategoria-steppi-asumisen-arviointikurssi","yksikkokategoria-villa-borgis","yksikkokategoria-valtti","yksikkokategoria-verkkokauppa","yksikkokategoria-yopaivystys","sisaltoluokka-sahkoiset-palvelut"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
