Intercultural families refer to families in which at least one family member has a different cultural background. This means, that one partner or both partners were not born in Finland or have different cultural backgrounds. A child or children raised by a parent (s) with different cultural background, are also considered part of an intercultural family.
Familia belongs to the Diverse-Family network, which consists of ten different family associations representing a variety of types of families. The network aims for a society where families are equal, and every family can be proud of themselves.
