Thread: Caisa

Caisa is an international cultural centre established in the core of Helsinki in 1996. It is subject to the City of Helsinki Cultural Office. Its object is to support the development of a multicultural city by promoting interaction between people from different countries, encouraging the independant original practice of new ethnic minority cultures whilst integrating them into a finnish society and giving out information on Finland.

The International Cultural Centre Caisa organises and executes concerts, food festivals, exhibitions, seminars, courses, clubs and its own singing competition The Ourvision Singing Contest (ourvision.fi).

Caisa has several producers that plan and execute Caisa's own programmatic repertoire. Caisa also lets out its various rooms for educational and entertainment purposes and functions closely with different societies and organisations working for similar causes. There is also a service working in connection with Caisa, infopankki.fi, that gives out information to immigrants in 15 different languages on the Finnish society and its services.
