During this first visit to Pudasjarve in Northern Finland students were faced with a number of nice challenges. Among other things they had to introduce the country and the nation to the others, discuss the Icelandic school system, participate in stereotyping studios, modern-day learning and more. The group visited the Christmas Town in Lapland, they went to the sauna, skiing, skating, snowmobiling and much more.

The trip was great in every way and everyone agreed that it had been successful.
