MONIHELI, HELSINKI

It is also a one-of-a-kind NGO that has its own Social Media called Monimos (www.monimos.fi), constantly developing and gaining popularity.
The network develops collaboration and co-operation between multicultural organizations to protect the interests of its members. It encourages its members to exert their political and social influence, particularly on migration, multicultural matters and on migration policy issues, and promotes diversity and equality in the Finnish society. Moniheli offers trainings for organizations, guidance, projects, workshops, events and a chance to influence the society at the individual and organizational level for the collective benefit.
