WEEK 11REFLECTION
We started week 11 with Irmeli and her important topic which was about students with special needs. In fact it was very important topic and each one needs to know more information about it. I have learned many basic things and I planned to read more about it. In my opinion, this is a very broad topic and it needs more time in the future.
In addition, we spent a very good time with David about his topic organizations and networks. I have learned some important facts. However, also, this topic needs more time and it needs more reading by participants because each one needs it in his job.
On Wednesday,   we spent very nice moments in the national park with Irmeli and her son who has prepared the place and the coffee. After we left our belongs in the tent we hiked the forest looking for  trees, flowers and different sightseeing. Irmeli explained many important facts about the forests in Finland and a historical custom of collecting flowers putting them under the pillow to dream and see your future wife/husband. In fact, I enjoyed that trip but the hiking took most of the time and the time for rest and for making our barbecue was short and I think there is no need for assignment in this moment. Honestly, I appreciate what she did according to her nice personality and her enthusiasm in this programme.


Furthermore, I want to thank the staff of our embassy (the Saudi Arabian embassy in Finland) for their generous invitation on Tuesday. They picked up from the university at 2:00 and took us to the embassy. We spent a very nice time and enjoyed moments we stayed there. We had a very delicious lunch there. Also, we discussed very important things with them. Then, left the place at 5 pm.

  1. Hi,
    Yes, indeed, there was too little time for the barbecue. I didn't realise you would have so much meat with you :) I thought pick-nick would be a sandwitch and coffee and for that purpose 2 h would have been plenty.

    I'm sorry you got the impression the assignments were real assignments! The way I had meant them was that they'd motivate you to keep your eyes open during the hike. So there definitely weren't any learning objectives and grading involved! It was supposed to be a fun game, that's all.

    I'm happy to hear that the trip over all was appreciated.
