Advisory Board for Ethnic Relations

Cultural diversity is a richness and resource for any society. Good ethnic relations are a precondition for mutual harmony between immigrants and ethnic minorities on the one hand and the rest of the population on the other, for equal opportunities in practice and for access to the fullest possible range of knowledge and skills in strengthening our common social wellbeing.

The Advisory Board for Ethnic Relations (ETNO) is a broad-based expert body set up by the Finnish Government. Its purpose is to:

• promote interaction between Finland's ethnic minorities and the authorities, NGOs and the political parties in Parliament, equally at the national, regional and local level, and
• provide the ministries with immigration policy expertise in the interests of furthering an ethnically equal and diversified society.
