Choosing Finland

Finland is a northern country, well known for its high standard of education and cutting-edge technological know-how especially in telecommunications. Finland is also a country of extremes; you can experience days when the sun never sets, or witness northern lights in the dark winter nights of Lapland.  In summer, you can go sunbathing or swimming in one of our 60,000 lakes or go hiking in our vast forests. During winter, permanent snow covers the landscape for several months. Imagine witnessing the first snowfall of the winter with your new friends, or walking outside in the summer in broad daylight at 4 AM. Nature is never far away and that is why it is respected and highly valued in Finland.

Finns - full of "sisu"

A lot is said about Finnish people. We go crazy for ice hockey and the Eurovision Song Contest. We claim that Santa Claus actually lives in Korvatunturi, northern Finland and not North Pole. Finland is a country where honesty, punctuality and equality are core values and silence is not considered awkward. Finns are friendly, easy-going and reliable. In an impossible situation their characteristic Finnish "sisu", guts, kicks in. In a sometimes challenging climate Finns have evolved into a nation that can solve things quickly and effectively. We value education and are proud that our education system has been rated the best in the world. In Finland, everyone truly has the possibility to become whatever they want to.  Equality is one of the most important values, both in terms of social hierarchy and gender.
