A social program that offers something for everyone

Each summer course is complemented by a social programme where participants from all summer school courses can easily network and connect in a relaxed environment. The social events and extracurricular excursions allow you to get to know the unique Finnish culture, nature and history through authentic experiences. How does it sound to visit one of Finland’s biggest national parks, explore design museums, walk down the picturesque streets of Helsinki with small shops and cafés on every corner, or visit the small and beautiful islands accessible by ferry?
