Summer high school
at West Finland College
The college's green surroundings offer the chance to play games, spend time outdoors or simply admire the river view from the riverside terrace.
Within walking distance in the centre of Huittinen you will find shops, a bowling alley, sports pitches and an excellent swimming pool.
On some evenings the teachers lead a relaxed evening programme for everyone.
Cultural identity and cultural exchange
Come and reflect on Finnishness, Sámi identity, Finland-Swedish identity, being from Savo or Oulu, world citizenship or your own more diverse cultural identity together in an open atmosphere where you are free to ask questions and make mistakes! In addition to present-day culture, the summer high school explores the folk traditions, customs and beliefs of Finland, as well as its history and even its mythology.
Also exploring and sharing their own and local culture are a group of Moroccan upper secondary school students visiting Finland and a group of French young people. They are keen to hear your particular perspective on Finland! The language of the summer high school is mainly English, and your spoken language skills will develop especially while chatting with new international friends.
