Our trip to Nuuksio

Our project Travelling in the Italian and Finnish Landscape started with the arrival of our Italian friends from Liceo Artistico Cardarelli to Järvenpää Upper Secondary School on 25th February.  After settling down on Tuesday and getting acquainted,  our guests were escorted to Nuuksio National Park together with our students on Wednesday, the following day. We had planned to present a snowy Finnish forest with ice and frost but alas, climate change interfered in our plans. However, we still had enough contact with ice despite the lack of snow drifts. Tea Lindroos had planned an interesting photography session with white sheets to replace the snow. and everybody seemd to enjoy the activity. Afterwards we walked through the trail, taking photographs of the sights Nuuksio had to offer. At the end of the trail we were faced with the challenge of gliding down a long icy downward path or trekking through the forest to our coach. After this trial everybody was ready for the lunch at Haltia and for the two exhibitions on offer, the first one of which presented a multimedia show of Finnish nature and the second some design inspired by Arctic nature.
