Description

“Light can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on a light” - Albus Dumbledore

ESN FINT offers you an amazing chance to visit Jyväskylä and get the best out of the largest city in the region of Central Finland and in the Finnish Lakeland. During our trip the annual “City of Lights” Event will be happening. You can enjoy the stunning city lighting all year round as Jyväskylä has over 100 permanent lighting sites and installations - The highlight of the year however, the City of Light Event, introduces on top of that glorious works of light art, light installations built for the event and light-themed side events.

We organized a bus that will leave Tampere at 11:00 and will arrive in Jyväskylä at 13:00 where we start off the activities that we have planned for you! Later in the evening, we will then have time to enjoy the beautiful light installations and happenings around the city. As the installations will be best visible when it is fully dark, this trip will end fairly late, but don’t worry! The bus will bring all of us back to Tampere safe and sound.

We can only offer a limited number of 55 spots for this trip, so make sure to sign up in time! This is the maximum amount of people we can fit into the bus.

Once you are signed up, you will receive further information about the day per email.

ESN FINTin järjestämät tapahtumat ovat avoimia kaikille kansainvälismielisille opiskelijoille, mukaan lukien suomalaiset tutkinto-opiskelijat! Tulkaa rohkeasti vaan mukaan tapahtumiimme nauttimaan kansainvälisestä ilmapiiristä 😊. Tiedoksi vielä että näissä tapahtumissa ensisijainen käyttökieli on englanti, mutta usein vaihtarit haluavat myös kovasti harjoitella suomen kielen käyttämistä.
