Hei hei! Nice to see you on Facebook :) - External Marketing for the International Week

Hi there! We are SOME team in the Laurea Tikkurila's International Week 2014. We are Amy, Anni, Mei and Sini. 

Here come the exchange students for the spring and the exchange student team!

Welcome and welcome back!!

We are the exchange student team for the International Week 2014!

The group members are Mei,Taija and Amy, also working together with all the exchange students in Tikkurila to organize some exciting cultural events throughout the whole week.

After a week of orientation and welcoming events, the unit had already warmly welcomed all the exchange students to join the big family of Laurea Tikkurila!

Students from all over the world are now ready to start their new chapters of lives together and inspired the local students as well. We can always learn so much from others through various interactions both within and out of the classes! Last semester, students from Taiwan, Spain, Estonia, Germany, Japan and more had amazed everyone with their stunning workshops, presentations, cultural tents, dancing that had brought their own cultures alive for all the students to enjoy.

During the one week event, exchange students had introduced us to their cultures through different activities and presentations!

Through the eyes of locals, students had the chance to travel around the world simply by visiting the campus with joy, what’s the better way to learn others’ cultures than that?

This year, the international week will bring the event to the next level. With exchange students from different coners of the globe, we will be organizing events with more cultural diversity all together! The exchange students will not only invite local students to join their cultural events but are also eager to learn more about Finnish cultures themselves. Movie night, cultural tents, panels, workshops..... We had even more ideas ready to present!!

So, Come and join us at Laurea Tikkurila International Week 2014!

Be ready to be amazed and inspired by the cultural sparks!

For more details and exciting news, the exchange students group will be updating news during the following weeks EVERYWHERE!!!

See you soon:)

No time to freeze

Dear reader,

Despite the freezing cold weather the organizing team is on fire! The schedule for the International Week was published on Tuesday on our Facebook page, check it out! It will also be on the web page and in the school before and during the week. As you can see from the schedule there will be a different nationality for each day that will hopefully be present during each day’s lunch. So if you can’t make it to the lectures or workshops at least you can enjoy the atmosphere from the food!

Tomorrow morning the team will have a follow-up meeting where we will be discussing to-do -lists and everything that's going on and somehow connected to the IW14. And I’m sure that our lecturer Elina W. mixes our heads even more! A lot to think and to do is definitely what the weekend will be all about. 

If you haven’t already joined our Facebook event, do it now! And stay tuned, pictures and videos are coming..can’t wait!

Coming up with the marketing plan

Okay so, the internal marketing team is here again! This time we are working on our marketing plan for this event. The idea is to figure out what we do, when we do it, who does it and how we pull it off. To start off, we have brainstormed some ideas of how to market the International Week in our school. We will publish the IW14 schedule (when it’s ready) on our school’s intra for faculty and students, on Laurea Tikkurila’s website and Facebook page and on the International Week’s Facebook and event pages. Of course you will see the schedule here on the blog as well. We will also design a poster for IW14 and after printing it out, spread it all over the school. One good place for a poster is on the elevator – you have to stand there anyway, why not make use of that time! The posters will be spread around the school a week or two prior to the event.

Don't forget to like our Facebook page and attend the event on Facebook! 

Until next time,

Elina, Mikko and Annina

This is our cafeteria and one of the places where we will be spreading posters!
