International Hour – Finland

On November 27, we welcomed Mr. Joel Hermanni Laitala and Ms. Liisa-Maria Simontaival from Finland as presenters of the 59th International Hour.
They are 5th grade students of University of Eastern Finland.

On this day, they introduced Finland with full of attractive topics. Many students and doctors gathered at the room and listened to their presentation with great interest.

They introduced the custom and facts about Finland, and their current education system.
