COLLABORATION WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF HELSINKI
H e i d i K o h i
Heklu has collaborated with various
institutes of higher education for
many years now. This year, however,
we had an amazing chance to enforce
our collaboration with the University
7
of Helsinki thanks to Helena
Antikainen’s extraordinary coordination
skills. With the help of Raimo
Ahonen, Head of Media and Communication
Studies at the University
of Helsinki, we started planning
possible ways to show our students
the opulent possibilities universities
offer us and our students with their
vast selection of courses and study
programs. Soon we had gathered
together a heterogeneous group of
enthusiastic university professors,
lecturers and students who came to
visit us and practically organized our
traditional language week in October
telling us about everything between
Urdu and Polish beliefs and legends.
We even participated in the Olympic
Games of Linguistics so eagerly that
the event was repeated a few times
after the actual language week to
other groups, too.
