Midsummer, juhannus, is one of the most important celebrations in Finland. It takes place in late June and marks the longest day of the year, when the sun barely sets.

Traditionally, juhannus is a celebration of summer, light, and nature. People usually spend it at summer cottages, enjoy lakes and saunas, and relax with friends and family. Bonfires, called kokko, are often lit to celebrate the bright night and to bring good luck.

Hyvää juhannusta - Happy Midsummer! 🌼🌿💐

INGENIUM is a European University, and Xamk is one of its ten member institutions. Xamk leads an INGENIUM work package focused on innovative pedagogy and lifelong learning. Xamk is also actively involved in other INGENIUM activities, including sustainability, entrepreneurship, and mobility. Joint educational offerings, ranging from individual courses to joint doctoral programmes, create opportunities for our students and staff as well as local stakeholders outside higher education. In challenge-based learning, companies can bring real-life problems for students to solve. Internships can be offered through INGENIUM, and local organisations can train their staff using INGENIUM’s short learning modules, known as micro-credentials. The shared educational offering of our European University will expand significantly in the next academic year.

Yesterday, we celebrated Xamk student-athlete Jenna Laitinen with a medal coffee reception at Kouvola City Hall. 🏆Jenna won the World Championship couple of weeks ago.

Representing Xamk at the celebration were Tiina Nokkanen from the Athlete-Friendly Higher Education Institution working group, and Niko Heikkilä, Chair of the Student Union Kaakko Board. They delivered Xamk’s congratulations along with a bouquet of flowers. 💐

Jenna is a fantastic example of how goal-oriented sports and higher education studies can go hand in hand and lead to top-level success. Xamk is committed to supporting dual careers and building an athlete-friendly higher education environment.
Warmest congratulations once again, Jenna – amazing work! 💛
