<span style="background-color: white;">Hello dear bloggers and blogreaders. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">It's winter and it's really cold outside, but I hope that you're all doing well and if not, read my heartwarming post and I am sure that you will feel better.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Today I will tell you about midterm training which was in Training Centre Sopukka.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">This was only 3 day training, but that was enough to recharge our energy batteries and to increase positive emotions.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Training was very interesting. We talked about our projects and we shared our experiences. This time we had more things to discuss, because we have all been in Finland for quite long time.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had little group presentations about our projects and some other group works.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really liked all the group activities, because we were working in small groups which was making easier to know each other better.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For me the best part was meeting my friends from previous trainig, because we really missed each other, even though we sometimes organise meetings. This was a great chance to spend more time together again.<br />
As this group was bigger, and there were more people from different countries I had great time while talking to them about their country culture and of course it was pleasure to tell them about Armenia.<br />
I really enjoyed this midterm training, even if this was by the end of my project, so this was my term-end training.<br />
Thanks for reading!!!<br />

Finland became independent on December 6, 1917, this day is a national public holiday and a flag day in Finland. This year Finland celebrated 102 years of Independence, and I was a part of this celebration. We celebrated the day with our coordinator Riina's and coach Irene's families. That was a typical Finnish way of celebrating the day and I felt like a part of this country and people.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We started the day watching the legendary film ''The Unknown Soldier'' based on a novel about the Second World War. Later we lighted blue and white candles and had a dinner all together.</div>

Ater the the dinner it was time for the most important event, which is Independence Day Reception held by the President. It is a gala event for VIPs and specially selected guests and Veterans. The invitees include high-ranking officers, politicians, diplomats, as entertainers and activists. This event is broadcast on national TV. The TV reporters make comments about all the guests as they line up and shake hands with the president and his spouse on the way in. And we also did some commentary with our observation, while playing specal 'Bingo'.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
After the handshaking ceremony the band started playing, guests were enjoying the evening:dancing, eating and drinking and reporters are interviewing famous people and asking them about their ideas on independence.<br />
<br />
But of course here everyone has his own way of celebrating this day. The main point is that the country worked hard to gain its freedom and fought hard to keep it. People learn at a young age that self-determination should never be taken for granted and they are reminded of this every year on December 6.<br />

I have already told you that traveling is one of my hobbies and I was going to travel inside and outside of Finland. I managed to be in Helsinki, Provoo, Turku, Inari and even Norway where i went with my hosting organisation Lahti City Youth Services. And today I am going to tell you about my trip to Poland. I planned it 3 months ago and immediately bought plane tickets. The trip started on 16th of November from Turku. I landed in Gdansk and went to my hostel. Living in hostel sometimes very funny because it is a good opportunity to meet new nice people from different countries. First day I spent with Erasmus+ exchange students from Spain. By the way Spanish people are too much friendly. open-minded eager to involve new people to their group, very musical and always want to dance. I really liked them. </b><br />

So it was my first independent tour where i was alone and had to be very careful and punctual. The trip gave me more confidance, knowladge to orientate in a strange countries and cities. It also helped me to be well-organized so I could manage my time to see everything I planned and not only. Traveling is education as well, during it you can communicate with different people and learn from them. Visiting museums and historical places can affect well on your thinking. So now I feel myself more confidence, more well-organized, a bit more creative and full of experience.</div>

<br />

Krista and Oona seemed to be very satisfied with their experience but were also confident talking about the things they would improve in their journey.<br />
<br />
During their time in Croatia they had the possibility to travel and get to know the host country. Experiencing the diversity and the history. Discovering their own skills and learning to trust themselves in different situations.<br />

They got quite used to writing on Croatian keyboard, so now back home they are looking for the right letter when using Finnish keyboards. And the doors open the "wrong" way and that the light switches are not placed at the same heights. So during two months you can get very well used to do things in a specific way. <br />
<br />
Oona and Krista didn't recognize any culture shock when returning back to Finland but they were able to see a lot of benefits from their experience: They got more confident in speaking English and entering situations they were a bit uncomfortable with. They got to know themselves in a foreign situation and realized they would be alright traveling anywhere.<br />

HELLO, HELLO, HELLO!!!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I want to share with you my memories of an incredible trip to Northern Finland. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I spent a week in Vasatokka, and that was one of the best travel experiences that I had in my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Vasatokka was a beautiful place, and it was perfect for observing Lapland's nature. This is a place where nature has been kept unspoiled.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had a week full of interesting activities organized by Youth centre Vasatokka.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had a tour to Inari Reindeer Farm. It was an incredible experience meeting Inari Sami people and their reindeers. Of course this was the first time in my life to see reindeers, before this reindeers were only Christmas magic for me(Santa, reindeers and elves😂😂😂).They have a big farm where reindeers are kept, and there was a little but interesting handicraft shop and reindeers safari. We had a little presentation about Sami culture and history.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoZbjOxkgBBwOgrO2Ip4Lvhlz2YIRnygODt9rEGWVEVPn2iEy7mgX7rZOixste7rdnTyZ_8xKrnYNJpdfsZBW8dAO4WKxLyJ6qNw9qWJ68u5rqVDxqDVsDWGnQO_cgpdytrU-efa67OU8/s1600/IMG_0631.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoZbjOxkgBBwOgrO2Ip4Lvhlz2YIRnygODt9rEGWVEVPn2iEy7mgX7rZOixste7rdnTyZ_8xKrnYNJpdfsZBW8dAO4WKxLyJ6qNw9qWJ68u5rqVDxqDVsDWGnQO_cgpdytrU-efa67OU8/s640/IMG_0631.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>
As Sami culture is must know if you are in Lapland, we had the next trip to Sami museum in Inari. Sami people are native to Lapland, they have different tribes, and all they wear different native clothing. There are only 9000 Sami people around Finland, but still they have their own language and flags.<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The next place where I have been was very special.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was Husky Sledding park in Inari. This was a big Husky camp, where different types of that nice creatures were living. You cannot believe, but in this camp there were more than 70 huskies living in a peace and love.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And we had a special day. It was day when we traveled to Norway. The place where we have been, was not too far from Lapland, but when we crossed the border everything changed, it was another world, everything there was differet. It was very nice place by the Arctic ocean. Photos and words can't show the indescribable beauty of Norwegian nature. </div>

<br />
Later we had ''Survival skills'' activities in a forest near Vasatokka, that was interesting, helpful and very cold, but it was survival skill lesson, so we survived.😅<br />
And later we had hendicraft workshop, where we made some keychains and jewelery, but not usual ones. Everything was made of reindeer bones and leather.<br />
This was another special week of my life in Finland. And my special thanks to Lahti City Youth Services for organizing this tour, and for making me a part of it !!! 😊😊😊<br />

I met all the volunteers at a train station, and when we talked a little bit all together, I said to myself </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
'<u>'-This gonna be a cool week.'' </u>and I was right, and it was far more cool than I could imagine. 17 volunteers from different countries of Europe and not only, took part in this training. And all the people who were in Kokkola were super friendly and sociable, so we could easily communicate and have fun together.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">One thing that made me really happy was that we created a real team from the firt day. There were no misunderstandings or some conflicts between us, and I liked it.From the very beginning of training I felt a good and strong </span><b style="text-align: left;">SPIRIT</b><span style="text-align: left;"> that all volunteers had. Training program was also very interesting, we had many attractive group activities about volunteering in Europe, volunteering principles, about the solidarity in our projects and ect., we got some practical information about ESC programmes and Erasmus+, we had 2 days of finnish language lessons and they were really hepful.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">This was not an ordinary event. I've tried to organize it in a different way, without any formalities. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a special guest, DJ Moris. Armenian DJ living and working in Fnland, and he made the event even more attractive, playing armenian music during that few hours. And all our guests were dancing and having fun with us.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Some Armenian national dishes were served, like dolma, baklava and other sweets, </span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;">ma</span><span style="text-align: justify;">de with love (by me😚).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"> So that finnish people could feel the taste of Armenia. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;">And for me it was pride and success to have so many guests. We had more than 30 guests during that evening and not only armenians or finnish people, but from Romania, Honduras, Iran, Afganstan and ect. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was perfect and unforgettable day for me, and I'll remember this day forever, and I hope that those who were participating will also remember this event and some things about Armenia.</div>

Hi everyone, it is already 2 months i am in Lahti. Everything is still wonderful and hope will be in the future. Today i decided to speak about my goals which of them i am going to achieve during my volunteering period. First one i would like to underline is speaking English fluently. I very appreciate this skill and consider it is important in communications with foreigners, in learning process and etc. Living abroad helps me to practise my English and i try to improve it by reading, listening and speaking with other people. One year ago i was shy to speak English, but now i notice a huge improvement and by the time i come back to Armenia it will be much better than now.<br />

Second point I want to speak about is travelling. I have always liked travelling and since childhood I have travelled with my family all over Armenia and Artsakh. I have been several times in Georgia and Russia as well. And during my staying here have been in Helsinki, Porvoo, Isoranta, Tuusula and I am planing visit Turku, Tampere, Kokkola, Inari. Nature in Finland is wonderful, air is fresh, wether is cold that helps to be healthy. I am not sure yet that I am ready for it but in winter time I am going to swim in ice cold water. I think it is one of the indivisible parts of Finnish winter tourism. And if i have opportunity I of course will try to travel to another European country and will share my impressions with you. At least I will visit Tallin and have cruie experience.</div>

<b>Four bus rides and two flights</b>.<br />
<br />
We started from the travel centre in Lahti at 3.30 am with the bus to the airport and arrived in Vrginmost at 18.25pm. That was the hard and long part of our journey.<br />
But with a lot of positive spirit and a good attitude we had a nice day.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="text-align: left;"> Happy travellers at the airport in Frankfurt </span></div>
<br />
The day consisted of a lot of waiting in different surroundings like airports and bus stations.<br />
<br />
When we arrived Zagreb it felt like we had travelled back to summer time, with at least 27 degrees Celsius. So quite a change from autumnish weather in Lahti.<br />
<br />

In Karlovac we strengthen our immune system with some tasty lemonish water. And we were looking forward for our last bus ride. The mood was still incredible super good.<br />

Finally after 50 minutes bus ride through amazing landscapes we finally arrived to Vrginmost and lovely Maja was at the bus station greeting us with warm hugs.<br />
<br />
After a short trip with the car we had a pit stop at our accommodations. Info about rooms, toilets, kitchen and garden were given.<br />
<br />
At this point all of us was extremely hungry so off we went to the only local restaurant.<br />
<br />

Finally proper food with the best company. And yes we did eat local food.<br />
<br />
During our time at the restaurant we were joined by the big boss of the organisation Predrag and the wonderful Anja. We also met the other volunteers during our dinner as they came by on their way back to the accommodation from Suncokret.<br />
<br />
After a day filled with travelling and waiting we were all three ready to find our beds, go to sleep and be ready for the next day.<br />

Last friday was full of good vibes and emotions. We had nice day in Isoranta camping area with two finnish volunteers, Oona and Krista: two bright individualities who are already in Croatia for ESC short period volunteering. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This meeting was organised by Lahti City Youth Services, which is the sending organisation for them, and the main goal of the meeting was pre-departure training for Krista and Oona.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
During this training they got some advices from trainers, they spoke about their expectanions and goals, and they have drawn U Curve (scheme which is showing how most people experience Life in a foreign country), which emotionally helps to understand where you are .</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And why were Armenians there????????? 😉</div>

We talked about volunteering from different angles.We tried to give them some ''advices'' that can be helpful. We talked about living alone in a foreign country, that it can be new, strange or shocking for them. We told them all the things that we have experienced while being in Lahti for this two months. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And I hope that they will enjoy their time in Croatia the way we do in Finland. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Let's wish them good luck!!!</div>

Hi there!! I'm Oona, 19, from Finland and I'll take part in #YOUTHere! project and travel to Croatia for voluntary work. I will be working mostly with kids and youth. I'm really very extra excited about this and hope I'll face new and interesting situations there!<br />
<br />
I graduated from high school in spring 2019 and<br />
I'm now spending a gap year so this is a great time<br />
to leave Finland, FINALLY! Haha<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
I would say I'm spontaneous and a colorful person who likes to laugh! I like theater, acting and photographing. I always try to be open for new opportunities and let life show me what comes next!<br />
<br />
I heard about voluntary work from my friend and got instantly interested. I applied and luckily I was chosen! I haven't even been there yet but I would recommend that every one should leave for voluntary work in some point in their life.Oona Nieminenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13473736937412405506noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693567396458269091.post-4420225919974489772019-09-15T19:11:00.000+03:002019-09-15T19:14:15.478+03:00Krista, Finland

Hi, everybody! I am Krista, a 23 year
old girl from Finland. I am going to spend the next two months in
Croatia doing volunteer work mainly with kids and youth. People have
described me kind, calm and positive. I like crafting and DIY
projects. I got a degree in childcare in 2015 and last year I got a
degree in carpentry.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I excited to get to know a new culture
and meet new people. I also want to improve my language skills and I
think this is a very good opportunity to do that. Since I am
unemployed at the moment, I feel this is the perfect time to go.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I don’t know much about Croatia so I
don’t know what to expect, but I am excited for this adventure.</div>

Our first impressions were really
good, because people who met us were very kind and hospitable and the
weather here was perfect, which also helped us to keep a good mood.</div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since day 1 we had entertaining city tours. We saw real finnish summer
for about 2 weeks. During the city tours we explored some ’’hidden’’
corners of Lahti, but there are much more things to discover.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We visited our workplaces: Ohjaamo, Multi-Culti and Mukkula. We met
people who work there. We got some information about the work of the
organisation and mainly about this three workplces. And we were told
what work we are ging to do. Later we had a tour to youth centers and
visited some of youth workshops.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We visited some young people from different workshops and we were on a
picnic with them in Mukkula beach. We had fun there.We played some games
and the newest game for us was Molkky, which is traditional Finnish
throwing game.</span></div>

where met Armenians living near Lahti and we became friends, and later
we found 2 two boys who are the only Armenians living in Lahti city. And
as the weather was good we had amazing tours around Lahti city.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the second week we visited Tuusula and Jarvenpaa for Meidan
Festval. This was a good chance to discover Finnish culture and customs
with other volunteers and foreigners while being surrounded by local
people. And later we got a surprise package from Discover EU
organisers)))</span></div>

Helsinki city tour and later we visited Korkeasaari Zoo, this was a zoo
located on an island.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the third week we had our 3 day on-arrival training, which was
really helpful and interesting. Than we visited Mukkula youth center. We
were in an international CouchSurfing weekly meetups organised by one
of our Armenian friends.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On Arrival training = ''First Aid''</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On Arrival training is really important support for volunteers, who just
arrived and know nothing about the surrounding world.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Everyone knows, that being a tourist in anothr country is kind of a joy,
but realizing thath you are going to live somewhere for more than 7
months is really ''shocking'' fact, even if it was your decision to go
there, where everything is different and new for you, starting from
culture and customs ending with weather and nature. And at the moment an
ON ARRIVAL TRAINING is coming to help.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We are volunteers from Armenia and we had 3day On Arrival Training,
which was divided into some sections, which were really helpful. During
this training we got answers to those questions which were troubling us.
We had a wonderful trainer Anna-Kaisa Vihersalo, who is really
professional at her job. She patiently explained everything and listened
to us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On Arrival training was not a boring thing, because during those days we
spent really good time, we tried different national cuisines as well as
Finnish, we were in monthly city market, we knew different and
interesting methods of knowing each other better, and not only each
other but ourselves as well. We built the path of our goals and drew the
hand of our mental wellbeing. We knew about possible risks and
challanges that can happen and found ways how to solve them.
And we want to appreciate organizers for this training which really
helped us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Best Regards,<br />Dusya and Levon :)</span><br />

I’m Dusya and I am 21 years old. I came here from sunny Armenia and I am
going to live here for 8 months, sooo, this means that this is not our
first and last meeting))).</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have recently graduated from Yerevan State Linguistic University of
Languages and Social Sciences with a bachelor degree and I was looking
for an opportunity to live, travel and get practice abroad, so ESC was
really good chance for me.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So now it will interest you how I knew about this project and that’s
what I am going to tell you...</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was on an internship at Brusov YSULS Career Center and Graduates
Association, and they offered me to participate in this project (p.s.
Brusov YSULS Career Center and Graduates Association is ESC coordinator
in Armenia). I thought about it for few days and decided to send my CV
for participation, and as you see I am one of the lucky volunteers who
was choosen to participate in this project.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And now I’ll try to do my best to be useful for this project and of
course I will enjoy my time here, in hospitable LAHTI!!!</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

I am Levon from Armenia. I am a friendly, polite and honest
person and i am looking for new friends and adventures. I’ve graduated
from my university this year and wanted to get a good package of
experience before proffesional work and also travel to Europe, see
wonderful places, broaden my world-outlook. I’ve been doing volunteering
in my country since 2016 and participated different kinds of projects. I
have learned about this ESC project from my friend who also
participated in it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before coming Finland i knew about it only some things, that it is very
cold here)))) about Laplandia, and also about heroic Finns who fought
against Russian conquerors and saved their homeland. </span><br />

short term periods.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our partners in this project have not yet been locked, so now we are
looking for new and familiar organizations to start co-operation with in
this project.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tervehdys Irlannista,</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kuinka suomalaiset ovat tänään? Toivottavasti kaikki on hyvä?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kaksi viikkoa olen palannut kotimaahansa Suomesta ja neljä viikkoa,
jotka vietin Lahdessa, oli vaikuttanut elämäni monella tavalla, että
sanat eivät todellakaan voi kuvata sitä. Kun saavuin ensimmäisenä,
ensimmäiset ajatukseni olivat, kuinka voin käsitellä neljä viikkoa,
millaista se on, ja nautin siitä ja niin edelleen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Neljä viikkoa Suomessa oli valtava kehitys henkilökohtaisessa
kehityksessä ja ammatillisessa kehityksessä. Opin paljon
hallinnoinnista, olen oppinut olemaan täsmällinen. Kehitin myös
sellaisia keskeisiä taitoja, joita opin ja kykenivät toteuttamaan
työpaikallani, kun palasin kotiin. Koska olen palannut kotiin, minulla
ei ole ollut töitä. Tällä hetkellä olen palkattu
pikaruokaravintoryhmässä, jossa kaikki kysyvät minulta Suomen. Tässä
vaiheessa luulen voivani kirjoittaa kirjan aikani ja kokemukseni
Suomessa.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kokemus oli erittäin myönteinen. Olen erittäin iloinen, että menin ja
sain tavata uusia ihmisiä, nähdä uusia paikkoja. Minua koulutettiin
suomalaisten kulttuurien eroista kaikille muille kulttuureille, jotka
olen kokenut ja todistanut. Minulla oli valtuudet enemmän itsevarmuutta
ja sitoutumista myönteisempään muutokseen. Tällä hetkellä työskentelen
metsästysmaailmassa sosiaali- ja yhteisötoiminnassa, aika parempaan
muutokseen: D.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kaiken kaikkiaan Nuorten organisaation ja Lahden ihmisten jokainen tekee
tästä kokemuksesta ainutlaatuisen ja siksi en koskaan unohda heitä.
Halusin tällä kertaa arvostaa kaikkia tämän matkan tekemistä todella
onnistuneeksi ja hyödylliseksi.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kiitos..</span><br />

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Greeting from Ireland,</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How are my Finnish People today? I hope all is good?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's been two weeks I came back home from Finland and the experience of
the four weeks I spend in Lahti, had impact my life in many ways that
words can't really describe it. When I first arrive, my first thoughts
was how am I going to cope for four weeks, what will it be like and will
I enjoy myself and so on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Four weeks in Finland had huge development in my personal development
and professional development. I learned a lot about management
organisation, I learned to be punctual. I also developed so key skills
that I learned and able to implement at my work place since I got back
home. Since I got back home, I have been working none stop. At the
moment, I am employed as a team staff at a fast food restaurant where
everybody ask me about Finland. At this stage, I think I can write a
book about my time and my experience in Finland by now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The experience was very positive. I am very glad I went and I got to
meet new people, see new places. I was educated about the differences
in the Finnish culture to all other cultures I have experienced and
witnessed. I was empowered with more self believe and commitment for
more positive change. Currently, I am on a job hunt for the field of my
degree in Social and Community work. It is time for a better change: D.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall, everybody at Nuorten organisation and the people of Lahti
really make this experience one of a kind and that why I will never
forget them. I wanted to take this time to appreciate everybody on
making this trip really successful and beneficial.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank you. </span><br />
