The influx of immigrants to Finland is on the rise and shows no signs of cooling down. As a fairly new multicultural society, Finland faces the constant challenge of integrating the immigrants into mainstream society. The aim of this study is to account for the creation of Sports Against Discrimination ry, a non governmental organisation for the students of DIAK Järvenpää Unit who are undertaking the Bachelors programme in Social Services focusing on Community work development. This thesis will act as a founding document and guide for the students who will own and run the Organisation. The main focus for the Organisation will be integration of immigrants and refugees using sports as the main medium for the process. This study attempts to uncover the current state of the Finnish integration process through sports.
In this work, I will discuss the concepts of integration and discrimination in the framework of sports. I will also give an overview of Finland as a multicultural society. The focus of this work is to build a case for creating the organisation Sports Against Discrimination.
Qualitative research methods were employed. These were in the form of exposure, open discussions and observation. Information was gathered through attending a seminar on Football Against racism, open meetings with prominent figures in sports and integration. Together with the theoretical concepts, an analysis attempts to reveal the current state of sports integration in Finland.
The process establishes an argument for the existence of Sports Against Discrimination ry. It reveals the need to change the current systems of sports and integration in Finland. The absence of records is noted. The process reveals that the process of integration will yield positive results if efforts are focused on both the immigrants and the Finnish people. The main aims and objectives of Sports Against Discrimination are constructed from this hypothesis.
