A blueprint for multi-level governance of inclusive integration and good relations in Finland aims to provide guidance on how to incorporate key elements of the multilevel governance model developed by the Council of Europe into the practical implementation of the Finnish government’s policies on ‘good relations’ (‘väestösuhdepolitiikka’2), with the long-term goal of increasing inclusive integration in Finland.
Inclusive integration – of migrant and refugee newcomers, but also of others who may feel excluded from mainstream Finnish society – is an approach to integration which does not seek to absorb individuals
into an unchanging culture and/or society, but which creates a society that values and respects all people equally.
The “Blueprint for Multi-level Governance of Inclusive Integration and Good Relations in Finland” has been developed under the European Union – Council of Europe joint project "Building an Inclusive Integration Approach in Finland".
