Multi-cultural teaching, training and learning are new in Finland, especially in vocational training institutions. Finland has organised preparatory training for trainers in basic vocational training only for two years. The culture-sensitive training model will be developed as an instrument especially for vocational trainers who meet foreign students in their teaching groups. The teachers do not know how to act, as it is difficult to explain foreign students' behaviour - whether it is caused by his/her cultural background or character. Help will be provided also for encountering conflict situations between different ethnic groups and for the Finnish students' discrimatory attitude toward immigrant students.
The central aim is to develop a so called culture-sensitive teaching model suited to the Finnish multi-cultural vocational training and new innovative teaching methods for teaching and learning in multi-cultural context. The aim is also to test the suitability of a new work development method (culture laboratory) as an instrument of pedagogic development. The culture laboratory provides information about the competence needs with regard to multi-cultural teaching; it also helps to examine the changes caused by the entrance of immigrant students to vocational training institutions. At the same time, it will be possible to anticipate and develop new competence of vocational teachers and to create to students with immigrant background more equal opportunities to advance in the Finnish training and working life.

Culture LaboratoryIn the CL were made over 100 suggestions in wich direction the immigrant training course should be developed. According to these suggestions the emphasis should be put on new teaching and learning methods. Based on this suggestoin we have launched 8 experiments to renew the instruction in Helsingin sosiaali- ja terveysalan oppilaitos.

The Culture Laboratory is a partisipatory method which means that immigrant students have an active role in all levels of the project implementation. Through this method immigrant students are couraged to take an active and dynamic position in they own lives in the school and in the Finnish sociaty as an active agent. In this method it is not only important the empowerment of individuals but also the empowerment of the community in wich the individual is part of, example the class in the school.
Evidence based practice is a new area in our school. And this is an empowering experience for students and theachers in HESOTE (Helsingin sosiaali- ja terveysalan oppilaitos).

Kulttuurien välinen opetus, opiskelu ja oppiminen ovat Suomessa ja erityisesti ammatillisella puolella hyvin uutta. Vasta kaksi vuotta on Suomessa järjestetty ammatilliseen peruskoulutukseen valmistavaa koulutusta. Kulttuurisensitiivisen opetuksen mallia kehitetään työkaluksi erityisesti ammattiopettajille heidän kohdatessaan ulkomaalaisia opiskelijoita opetusryhmissään. Opettajat eivät tiedä, miten menetellä, koska ulkomaalaisen opiskelijan käytöstä ei osata selittää, ei ole tietoa siitä, johtuuko opiskelijan käytös hänen kulttuuritaustastaan vai hänen luonteestaan. Apua saadaan myös eri etnisten ryhmien välisten konfliktitilanteiden kohtaamiseen sekä suomalaisten opiskelijoiden syrjivään suhtautumiseen maahanmuuttajaopiskelijoita kohtaan.
Projektin keskeisenä tavoitteena on kehittää Suomessa monikulttuuriseen ammatilliseen opetustyöhön soveltuvaa ns. kulttuurisensitiivisen opetuksen mallia ja uusia, innovatiivisia opetusmenetelmiä kulttuurien väliseen opetukseen ja oppimiseen. Lisäksi tavoitteena on kokeilla uuden työnkehittämisen menetelmän soveltuvuutta (kulttuurilaboratoriota) pedagogisen kehittämisen välineenä. Lisäksi kulttuurilaboratorion avulla tuotetaan tietoa kulttuurien välisen opetuksen osaamistarpeista sekä selvitetään niitä muutoksia joita maahanmuuttajaopiskelijoiden tulo ammatillisiin oppilaitoksiin on aiheuttanut. Samalla ennakoidaan ja kehitetään ammatillisten opettajien uutta osaamista sekä luodaan maahanmuuttajataustaisille opiskelijoille tasavertaisempia ja yhtäläisempiä mahdollisuuksia edetä suomalaisessa opiskelu- ja ammattikulttuurissa.
Kulttuurilaboratorio-istunnoissa tehtiin yli 100 ehdotusta maahanmuuttajien ammatilliseen peruskoulutukseen valmistavan koultuksen kehittämiseksi. Suurin osa ehdotuksista koski opetus- ja opiskelumenetelmiä. Ehdotuksiin pohjauteun Helsingin sosiaali- ja terveysalan oppilaitoksessa aloitettiin syksyllä 2002 8 kokeilua opetuksen parantamiseksi.
Kulttuurilaboratorio on osallistava menetelmä, maahanmuuttajaopiskelijoilla on aktiivinen rooli projektin toteuttamisessa. Menetelmä rohkaisee maahanmuuttajaopiskelijoita olemaan aktiivisia toimijoita niin omassa elämässään kuin suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassakin. Menetelmä edistää niin yksilön kuin myös sen yhteisön osallistumista, jonka jäsenenä yksilö toimii, esim. luokka.
Tutkimusaineistoon perustuva menetelä on oppilaitoksessamme uutta, joten projekti tarjoaa niin opiskelijoille kuin opettajille osallistavia kokemuksia.
