Net­work­ing & Tips for the Sum­mer­time!

What kind of activ­i­ties can you do in the sum­mer of Oulu? This was pre­cise­ly answered at the Inter­na­tion­al House Oulu Net­work­ing Event, which focused on sum­mer activ­i­ties in Oulu.

The Sum­mer edi­tion themed net­work­ing event includ­ed around 50 peo­ple to Busi­nes­sAs­e­ma on Midsummer’s week’s Tues­day. Par­tic­i­pants were able to learn about the ser­vices offered by Vis­it Oulu and the region’s com­pa­nies Lap­pis, Go Arc­tic and Tont­tu Tär­mön Paja.

Canoe­ing, snor­kel­ing, kitesurf­ing, raft­ing, bike tours, fish­ing… the wide selec­tion of options in Oulu’s sum­mer.

The ser­vice man­ag­er, Roosa Palomä­ki, men­tioned that Oulu is also full of great des­ti­na­tions for hik­ing and relax­ing – such as Nal­likari, Hietasaari, Pil­pa­suo and Hupisaaret. In addi­tion, you can reach Hailu­o­to, Koitelinkos­ki and Limin­gan­lahti in less than an hour.

Inter­na­tion­al House Oulu ambas­sadors also pre­sent­ed their favorite activ­i­ties. Such activ­i­ties and dis­cus­sions with oth­ers as well at the net­work­ing evening includ­ed:

• Sum­mer sauna
• Kuiv­asjärvi
• Tor­in­ran­ta
• Camp­fire sites
• Oulu Cas­tle
• Pik­isaari
• Hol­li­ha­ka park and free con­certs
• Man­ner­heim Park and table ten­nis

Busi­nes­sOulu’s com­mu­ni­ca­tions trainee Nada Abass act­ed as host of the event. Fur­ther­more, it was dis­cussed about the new gov­ern­ment pro­gram and its immi­gra­tion aspects. IH Oulu’s ambas­sadors, among oth­ers, expressed their con­cerns about the mat­ter.

The event begun with open­ing words by IH Oulu’s coor­di­na­tor Riku­pekka Leinonen, who point­ed out the gov­ern­ment pro­gram, which caused a lot of dis­cus­sion, how­ev­er, it is only a plan.

– It does not mean that every­thing planned by the gov­ern­ment pro­gram will take place, Leinonen said.

– We will orga­nize an info ses­sion for those who are inter­est­ed dur­ing the autumn time or when there is more info avail­able. We will invite experts who are going to dis­cuss about the sit­u­a­tion and how the process­es will take place, when there is a new gov­ern­ment and new pro­gram.

A spe­cial thank you to every­one who par­tic­i­pat­ed in the net­work­ing event. Be sure to fol­low IH Oulu’s social media chan­nels for updates on our com­ing events and hap­pen­ings.
