I had the chance to visit Finland for a week: an opportunity I did not want to miss!

I travelled with 3 of our students from Regina Maria Adelaide high school of Aosta, who thanks to Erasmus + have the possibility of experiencing Finnish life for a month.

After exploring Helsinki, we were welcomed by Jenni, the Erasmus coordinator, who was extremely kind, thoughtful and enthusiastic about showing us around the school and the town. I met the principal and the assistant principal, I took part in a couple of lessons and interacted with several teachers: everybody was absolutely helpful and welcoming. Thanks to these new connections, we managed to create two e-twinning projects that will allow our schools to keep collaborating also in the future.

As I have been a person who experienced several exchanging programs when I was a student, I will never grow tired of affirming how strongly I believe in these projects, how meaningful they are for students and how excited I am to be able to play an active role role in Erasmus + mobility!

Thanks to all Orivesi school staff and see you soon!
