Culture shock

From honeymoon to the black hole and back! Adjusting to life in a new country is similar to other transitions, like moving to a new city or starting a new job, but with the added dimensions of adapting to cultural and language differences. Cultural adjustments can affect people living far from home in unexpected ways. Come and learn what can happen during your stay in Finland and how it may affect your studies especially at the beginning. And if you already have been in Finland for longer and feel that you have found a way to cope through and with the culture shock, come and share your valuable Top Tips for the newcomers!

Event starts with an introduction (by Mari Dagnall) to culture and learning shocks and ways of coping with cultural adjustment. We continue with relaxed discussions and workshopping around these themes. Snacks are provided! Please register in advance using the registration link above. Registration gives us valuable information for practical arrangements.
