MIGRATION AND CULTURAL DIVERSITY
Integration and inclusion
https://thl.fi/en/web/migration-and-cultural-diversity/integration-and-inclusion
Participation and inclusion mean everyone’s right to health, education, work, income, housing and social relationships. Everyone should have the possibility to participate and exert influence in matters that concern themselves and the development of society.
Social inclusion promotes wellbeing and reduces exclusion and inequality. Discrimination at different levels of society hampers the integration of immigrants. Discrimination also prevents other linguistic and cultural minorities from being included in society and enjoying equality.
Equality means that no-one is discriminated against because of their gender, age, origin, nationality, language, religion or belief, opinion, political or trade union activity, family relationships, disability, state of health, sexual orientation or other personal reasons.
Cultural competence and cultural sensitivity
The concept of cultural competence refers to respecting people with any cultural background, and creating and fostering an atmosphere of non-discrimination in society. It also means the provision, availability and accessibility of services in a manner ensuring that the partly varying needs of people with different backgrounds are taken into account.
