A day in wintery Sweden

Hi everyone!


We here at Lyseo in Finland had the opportunity to go visit a university in north Sweden a few weeks back. Luleå tekniska universitet is about a 4 hours drive away from Oulu and it has the northernmost theater academy in the world.

The day started at 7 in the morning when the bus left our school. After the long but hilarious bus trip we arrived in Luleå. First we were told what the school is all about, what you can study and something about freetime activities the students have. After that we ate lunch at the campus. In the afternoon we got to see the faculties of which each of us was interested the most, so I chose the department of health care. At three o'clock we went downtown and did some intense shopping :) The shops were amazing and clothes are a bit cheaper over there.

So for us finns swedish may not always be the most fun thing to study since we all HAVE to. But it was nice to see that if you really want to, you can use it and go study abroad. I might consider that option.

Merry Christmas to you all in advance!

A trip in the USA for French students !

Four weeks ago, people who take the European option (it’s a class which has more hours of English and one of the class presented in english) went to the United states of America. The travel was an exchange with other pupils of Thomas Jefferson high school which is very closed to Washington DC. It permitted to discover the American culture and compare it with the French culture. The schedule was simple : during one week and half, French pupils were in class in order to improve their comprehension and expression in different class like government, geosystem, statistics (maths), complexes (maths)... Globally, we were totally integrated in the America's life. at the end of the second week, we went to New York, and we visited the most famous buildings in the world like the Empire State building, the Rockfeller Center, and the Statue of Liberty... Conclusion : a very interesting strip for all !
Waiting for the American students coming to France...

Me, Antoine.

Sorry I'm late but I need to do it, it's important to present myself for the Comenius members.

So, I'm Antoine, I'm 17, will be 18 in january, 26 (during the czech's trip). I'm a French student in Roosevelt School. I study electrical engineering and industrial science and later i'd like to become contractor of my destruction business.

 I enjoy going to parties, meeting my friends outdoor and traveling. I'm fond of rock'n' roll music like Iron Maiden or AC/DC, it is so AWESOME!

I went to Finland last year with Victor, Alan, Arthur Martin. 

See you in Czech Republic !

Mooooi!

Yes, I know I should have done this ages ago, but like Anniina said: better late than never! ;)


Okay, so my name is Niko Karttunen and I'm 18 years old and currently studying in Oulun Lyseo upper secondary school (as an abi aka. senior!). I live in a small village, surrounded by potato fields , called Tyrnävä, which is about 30km away from the city center and school. Every single morning I have to wake up early to catch the bus and the journey from my home to the school takes about 1 hour so that pretty much sucks :( Luckily I got my driving license and my own car this summer so eases my travelling :D

The reason I applied to this project was because I wanted to meet new people from different cultures and get to know with the people and culture they represent. I also want to improve my English and the all-most-free-trip to abroad was also a HUUUGE plus! :P

On my free time I just hang out with my friends, travel, read books, do some sports, listen to good music, party, all most everything! :D

Well, I guess that's all I have to tell to you :) If you haven't added my in FB, please do so and send me a request to join the Comenius-group in Facebook.

See ya when I see you, Niko

Hey hoy

Hey, I'm a bit late with this but better late than never! : DD

Hello there!

 My name is Anniina Holappa (18yo!) and I’m second-year student. I live (on my own) in Oulu, about 2 kilometers away from the center and our school, Oulun lyseo upper secondary.

What would I say about myself? Well, I’m quite social person and I like company of other people. I’m really interested about different cultures and people, and I love travelling. (That is one of the reasons why I applicated to this project… : D) But also, I’d like to improve my language skills and get to know new exciting people!

And of course, new experiences are really important to me. I love adventures.

My hobbies are (for example) listening music (from rock to classic), reading, cooking, writing, postcrossing and drawing. I’m creative person: I come up with ideas and like to say my thoughts aloud… As you might have noticed from the pic, I have red hair, so that is one of my feature that pops me out of the mass.

That’s all (or part of it) what you need to know about me. Please, send me a friend request in facebook and contact me! JJJ

BR, Anniina

AND BTW, I'm coming to Kunta Hora in January! See ya! :----)
