Recognition
of Cultural Diversity in Intercultural Interaction Arenas,
University of Tampere,
Finland
The
aim of this
multi-disciplinary project is to generate an adequate understanding
of the ways in which the increase in national and cultural diversity
influences the everyday lives of people in Finland, especially in the
city-regions of Tampere, Helsinki and Joensuu. In each participating
city, we will investigate how the objectives of socio-cultural and
economic integration, and their educational implications, have been
defined and expressed in the policy documents and how they have been
implemented in day-to-day life of people.
