Feeling blue?
Come to Finland!
Ranked the happiest country in the world in 2018 and
2019 by the World Happiness Report, Finland has
attracted global attention for its innovations and success
in governance, business, education and social welfare. It
is also ranked the safest country in the world. Come find out how they do it!
Professors Laatikainen and Gupta are offering a spring term 1 credit faculty-led study abroad course to Finland May 16-25, 2020. The course, 0187-396-001 Finnish Innovations in Politics and Business (cross-listed with 0210-396-001) runs during the period after commencement until just before the summer session. We will travel to Tampere and Helsinki in Finland and spend one day in Tallinn, Estonia which is renowned for its e- governance. This is a 1 credit spring semester course that could easily fit into your spring and not incur additional tuition costs.
We have planned interesting site visits, including famous Finnish firms like Nokia and the start-up Happy or Not. We will visit Sitra, the government funded innovation fund. We will explore the experiment in universal basic income at the University of Tampere. In Helsinki, we will visit the Finnish Institute of International Affairs and the famous Suomenlinna fortress island. There are planned visits to the Lenin museum and of course we will have a sauna on one of Finland’s 10,000 lakes. We have also worked to ensure that students will meet Finnish students socially throughout the study tour.
Interested students should apply through CIE. The link to the Finland course can be found at: https://adelphi- sa.terradotta.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Programs.ViewProgramAngular&id=40257
Scholarships are available and info can be found at: https://study-abroad.adelphi.edu/students/scholarships/
The application and deposit deadline is November 19th.
Professors Gupta and Laatikainen would be happy to answer any questions you might have about this program. Please feel free to contact us. Professor Gupta can be reached via email (copied on this email) and his office hours this term are M, W, Th 3pm to 4pm in HHE 333. We are happy to talk about this exciting program, and put you in touch with students who took the course last year!
We thought we might leave you with a chuckle and some food for thought. Brag for Finland is a short, comical video that was prepared for Finland's celebration of its 100th anniversary last year in which citizens of more well-known countries try to teach the famously humble Finns how to brag about their many
accomplishments. Might as Well be Finnish is a half-hour pod-cast produced by the BBC and Sundance to explore how Finland has not only grown but prospered in a challenging geographic neighborhood.
