Free time program
By taking part in the free time programme you’ll get more familiar with the Finnish culture and customs and get a chance to explore the beautiful Jyväskylä. The activities are led by native Finns, giving you a chance to practise your newly learned Finnish skills outside of the classroom, too!
Our course includes diverse free time activities taking place during evenings and weekends. The free time program helps students get to know the Finnish way of life through food, culture, winter sports and other activities accompanied by natives. Overall the free time program is organized for approximately 15 hours. Some of the free time activities are included in the course fee, and some might require additional payments. Our free time program is one of a kind in Finland, and it combines the best parts of Finnish winter and language learning through interesting and memorable experiences!
All free time activities are guided. Course participants can choose activities that they are interested in, or even take part in all of them should they wish to do so! Registration for free time activities takes place during the course.
Examples of free time program:
- Language café in in the afternoon (2-3 times during the course) - a great chance to practice speaking Finnish!
- Welcome evening, games and getting to know each other
- Walking tour in the city center
- Sauna evening (maybe even ice swimming!)
- Ice skating or cross-country skiing

NB! Program is subject to change e.g. due to weather.
