Newspapers and other media have told about different experiences from \u201dcultural crossroads\u201d. These stories have brought up questions that aren\u2019t easy to answer. What kinds of new challenges arise, related to cultural encounters? And how is Finland, constantly turning more and more intercultural?<\/p>\n<p>The basis for cultural mixing is many-sided: in a multicultural world, a number of different cultures live side by side, many times also crossing each other, and build a complex network. Even just one person can be a part of more than one culture. As to the cultures that remain separate, in a restricted environment such as inside the borders of a state, it\u2019s practically inevitable for them to enter in contact with each other. However, what results from that contact is not necessarily obvious.<\/p>\n<p>The multiculturalism of a society could be compared to any other conditions, to which many factors can lead to. Nevertheless, the contemporaneous appearance of cultures doesn\u2019t guarantee communication or cultural exchange. To reach them, conscious will to approach another culture is needed. When the will is reciprocal, real communication and learning can be born.<\/p>\n<p>The theme of this magazine is intercultural learning. It\u2019s one of the core values of ICYE Finland, established by the organization\u2019s board, and also one of the main principles behind international volunteering in general. Volunteering abroad opens one\u2019s eyes to the value and significance of multiculturalism. Leaving for another country to work as a volunteer is a concrete step towards intercultural dialogue, learning and understanding.<\/p>\n<p>I wish you enjoyable moments with the magazine!<\/p>\n<p>Mirjami Ylinen<br \/>\nThe Editor of Volunteers\u2019 Voices 2013<\/p>\n<h2>In the issue<\/h2>\n<p>5 Kutsu Maailmanvaihdon kev\u00e4tkokoukseen<br \/>\n6 J\u00e4rjest\u00f6n uutisia<br \/>\nTeema: Kulttuurienv\u00e4linen oppiminen \/ Theme: Intercultural Learning<br \/>\n8 Silm\u00e4lasien l\u00e4pi<br \/>\n10 Intercultural Learning \u2013 What does it mean?<br \/>\n12 Silm\u00e4t auki \u2013 Vapaaehtoisen kertomus Keniasta<br \/>\n15 Kulttuurioppimista aitiopaikalta<br \/>\n16 Maailmanvaihdon leiriel\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4<br \/>\n18 Once Upon a Time in a Village Far Far Away<br \/>\n20 Oppitunteja erilaisuudesta<br \/>\n22 L\u00e4rorika m\u00f6ten<br \/>\n25 ICYE around the World: Happy Days in Tokyo<br \/>\n26 Taittajien terveiset<br \/>\n28 Column: Somewhere I Belong<br \/>\n29 Tule mukaan Maailmanvaihdon toimintaan<br \/>\n30 Lehden oimituskunta<br \/>\n31 Tapahtumakalenteri<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Editorial: From multicultural to intercultural Lately, cultural encounters have been a frequent topic of public discussion.
