Friends Program

Do you want to get to know new people and cultures? Do you want to make Finnish friends or international friends?

The Friends Program brings together Finnish and
international students – it’s all about meeting, making friends, and enjoying
relaxed time with people from different cultures.

We meet once a month for various activities:
relaxing, chatting, eating, and having fun together! The program continues
throughout the academic year, and you can join at any time. The main language
of the program is English, but communicating in other languages is also
welcome.

The goal is to create genuine encounters and
lasting friendships. Because friendship is valuable – come be a part of
building meaningful connections!

 

Participation is free of charge.
