ABSTRACT
Toivainen, Jukka. Tiny house village project. Creating a community development project. 40 p., 1 appendix. Language: English. Helsinki, Autumn 2015.

This thesis is telling about creating a project idea and a project proposal of producing wooden wall elements in Finland, shipping them to Israel and building small houses to make a village for people who need temporary or cheap housing. I am writing about the process of developing the idea and what I took into consideration when making the project proposal.
I was collecting material for the project idea from Finland and from Israel. In Finland there is a general willingness among many Christian organizations to support Israel. Providing simple housing is one area where help is appreciated. Building these wooden wall elements in Finland by social enterprises gives also work for people who are recovering from substance abuse.
My goal is to propose a practical project to connect Finnish and Israeli organizations to develop co-operation through this project and to give a vision for this kind of possibility for giving and receiving help. One aim of the study is to understand more of the multicultural working environment through planning this project proposal.
In this thesis I describe the process of how this project proposal came first as an idea and how it has developed to a real and possible development project. As I was the person who got this idea and have been informing others about the project, I might consider myself as a coordinator for the possible project.
Main ideas for this project are to offer easy working possibilities for marginalized people in Finland, who would profit of having work and structure in life. Second idea is to make a community for easy housing, which supports people who do not have much money and who would benefit natural encountering with others. Third level is to increase co-operation between cultures, to build long lasting friendships and to support multicultural understanding.
My studies have included diaconal perspective and this is also included in my thesis. The project proposal and the whole idea have been developed through my understanding of life and my personal Christian worldview.
I found this process very interesting and encouraging and I hope the project will be started because I believe it will bring good results for everyone involved.
