Teachers Hanna Syv\u00e4lahti and Timo Lehtonen, led by Programme Manager Eeva-Liisa Hjelt, have created a 3-4 week module that integrates the incoming students into a Finnish class and immerses all participants into the possibilities of Finnish nature tourism. The incoming participants were 9 learners from S\u0160GT Celje High school for tourism (Slovenia) and 5 learners from BBS Wittmund (Germany).\u00a0 The concept has been tested and developed in previous years, with participants from Germany, Estonia and Italy. \u00a0The programme this time included e.g. kayaking, fat biking, nature trails, Finnish food and sauna culture, a variety of summer activities as well as great events. \u00a0For the Finnish students the module has also been an excellent opportunity for Internationalisation at Home (IaH).<\/p>\n

The module is described in terms of learning outcomes (knowledge, skills and competences) and the assessment is done in a valid, reliable and transparent manner.<\/p>\n

The expected learning outcomes of the module were:<\/p>\n
