Multicultural Activity and Support Centre Rinki

The goal of Rinki is to improve the interaction between the immigrants and the Finnish people. It helps in the practical matters of immigration such as filling the papers for KELA or finding a job or a trainig place.

In Rinki, there is also group activities: e.g finnish language discussion groups suits for beginners and also for advanced finnish speakers. In finnish discussion groups volunteer finnish people teach the language by discussions and suitable exercises. Every now and then there is International Cuisine in the kitchen of Rinki which gathers people together for cooking, eating and enjoying. Rinki also arranges courses about multiculturalism for the Finnish people working in Järvenpää, Kerava and Tuusula.

The main principles in Rinki are Solidarity and Equality among every person despite of their sex, race, colour, religion or political opinion.

The Meeting Place of Rinki enables people to join together and it is open every working day from 10am to 2pm. The meeting place of Rinki warmly welcomes you. You can find it from this address: Sibeliuksenkatu 19 B 41 (4th floor), Järvenpää.
