Voiko lapsena muodostunutta liikuntasuhdetta enää muuttaa? Hilma, Sampo ja Arttu käyvät läpi minkälainen suhde heillä oli liikuntaan lapsena ja mitkä tekijät vaikuttivat siihen sekä millainen liikuntasuhde heillä on nykypäivänä. Jaksossa myös keskustellaan pitääkö olla tietynlainen soveltuakseen liikunta-alalle.

Mikä tekee kielen verkko-opintojaksosta laadukkaan oppijan kannalta ja mitä se edellyttää opettajalta?

KieliVie-podcastin 13. jaksossa Xamkin yhteisten opintojen kielten yliopettaja Tarmo Ahvenainen haastattelee kahta ammattikorkeakoulujen kieltenopettajaa, Kirsi Korkealehtoa ja Maarit Ohinen-Salvenia Haaga-Heliasta. He ovat tutkineet, mikä tekee kielen oppimisesta ja opettamisesta verkossa laaduksta.

Kirsi ja Maarit ovat tutkineet asiaa yhdessä ja erikseen. Kirsi on tehnyt myös väitöstutkimuksen aiheesta Helsingin yliopistossa ja Maarit tutkimuksensa lisäksi koordinoi valtakunnalista KiVANET-verkko-opiskeluverkostoa.

Kierrämme XAMK Savonlinnan kampuksella ja suoritamme lyhyen kenttähaastattelun. Kysymme kokemuksia liikuntamahdollisuuksista ja niihin vaikuttamisesta.

Mitä yhteistä on merenneitouinnilla ja amerikkalaisella jalkapallolla? Kuuntele ja ota selvää! Tässä jaksossa liikunnanohjaajaopiskelijat Riina ja Sampo keskustelevat marginaalilajeista kysymyspelin avulla.

Every country has some stereotypes attached to their international image. Finland wouldn’t be any different. So… are Finns really that shy? What happens when Finns face a “non-rule-following” situation? What about Finnish traditions?

Listen to what Finns and international students have to say about the Finnish way of life and international students’ take on in. Do you agree with what was discussed? Do you have anything to add to the topic? Tell us what you think: [email protected].

Our last WTFinland! this year will take place on 28 November 2023 from 16:00-17:00 and the topic is: Finnish services (Kela, Vero, TE-toimisto, Youth services, Migri).

Silence is gold! Or is it?

Not always! When we talk about civic participation, silence can be damaging to those who represent the weaker link at times. As residents, international students (especially those who plan to immigrate to Finland) have the right to participate in civic activities that go way beyond municipal elections only.

Listen to what Meeri Tiensu, Pilvi Kallio-Meriläinen and Nick Walters have to say about the topic and start considering how you can positively influence your community so that we can build a more welcoming and fairer Finland to all, including immigrants.

If you are an international student and have doubts related to general rights and obligations in Finland, you can send your questions to [email protected] or [email protected].

Migri was kind enough to join “It’s All Rights!” and share all the precious information regarding all residence permit types and what rights and obligations come with them (including spouses). Matters relate to working rights and hours during and after graduation, documents needed, procedures to be followed and average processing times as well as a thorough explanation about the path to the Finnish citizenship were on the table. Questions were asked and answered. Click here to access Migri’s PowerPoint presentation.
