| We began our partnership with the University of Joensuu in Karelia, Finland in 1997, and there was a real fascination in linking up with students in Finland's beautiful country in the dead of winter. One Finnish student started an E-mail conference with us by saying she only had ten minutes before going Christmas shopping. She signed off three hours later! We now hold regular conferences with Finland. Find out about it here. Topics we discussed Our first discussions covered paganism, the weather, ice sculptures, beer, 'Carry On' films, long dark nights ...Opposite, you can see links to some pages produced by 'Make Multimedia History' contributors in response to the topics we discussed. How it began Thanks to the Finnish Institute in London and the British Council in Finland for supporting our links with the University of Joensuu. |
