The idea with this event is to introduce the local (in this case Finnish) culture as well as the many other cultures within the students' to each other and create an environment where people can meet and get to know each other.

Oulu is a city of many cultures, languages, and nationalities. We are excited to invite you to share yours at our International Evening event during the orientation week on the 2nd of September 🎉🧳😛

Terve, Hello, Привет, Hei, 你好! Did you know that Finnish is considered to be one of the hardest languages to learn? Or that Germans have more than 1000 kinds of Wurst? Or that you shouldn't give a bouquet of 6 roses to your girlfriend from Eastern Europe?

Come spend an evening at TELLUS at Oulu University with ESN Oulu during our Cultural Evening Event 🎉 We are very excited to introduce some Finnish culture and traditions and learn about your own country and culture. Can you make a traditional dish? Do you play a musical instrument? Do you like singing? Is there a traditional clothing piece that is special to you and your culture? Do you speak several languages? Can you teach something? We can't wait to learn more about your traditions, mentality, and culture! Please complete this form and let us know what you will be doing and how we can help you.
