Our latest job shadowing guests arrived from the Navarra region. We had warned them about the temperamental Finnish weather but it turned out to be quite a sunny week. What a Coolcation Finland anyway!
We crammed in visits and activities with us in Pyhäjoen lukio and in Saaren koulu, Yppärin koulu and Päiväkoti Kivitasku.
Our guests also enjoyed different activities such as kayaking and sauna and visited Raahe, Alavieska, Kalajoki and Oulu too.
Thanks a million for an unbeatable experience. You are the best ambassadors and hosts ever!
- IES Alhama (Corella, Spain) August 2026
Thank you for having us with you there in Pyhäjoki, in what seemed like "nothing." Yet in the middle of that “there's nothing,” there was so much. There was your kindness, hospitality, and openness. In that “there's nothing,” we met many wonderful people who warmly opened their classes to strangers from Slovenia and shared their valuable time and ideas with us. And once again, in that “there's nothing,” we had a truly great time and an unforgettable experience.
- Osnovna šola Neznanih talcev Dravograd (Dravograd, Slovenia) May 2026
The students from Liceo delle scienze umane e scientifico Regina Maria Adelaide in Aosta spent two weeks with us living in host families and taking part in the school activities. During those two weeks, we just happened to have "Messut", the fair organised by the second-year students and some made it even to the catwalk in the fashion show.
The students took part on lessons, gave presentations on their hometown and history. They also worked on a project on well-being as well as reflected on the differences and similarities of the Finnish and Italian school systems.
