We have been in Kajaani like two months, and we think that it would be a good idea to move to another city, and enjoy of this experience that we are living.
I strongly think that you have to do your place, your friends, your sweet home and all those things, but also think that the people should open their minds and travel around different cultures, countries and have the opportunity to meet different kind of people, that maybe one day can help you. Because of that more and more benefits, I encourage the people in open their minds and be open to live different situations…
Sunday at 21:00 we took the train to Tampere, but first the train had to stop in Oulu, finally at 6:00a.m we arrived to Tampere, Sari´s city.
We spent almost all the morning looking for any hotel, we had gone without any reservations. The hotels were very expensive or were full of people, but at least we find an hostel, called Sophia, where we pay 26€.
At 17:15 o´clock I was called by Sari, where 45 minutes later we were going to meet.
She was in Hopemyrsky event with another T.Academy people, and with Heidi and of course with our coach Nic.
So, at 18:00 o´clock we meet with Sari, in the train station, and after speaking about some things, and showing some confidencial photos(Sari knows), we went to a Mexican restaurant where Sari friends were.
This friends are from Monkey Business. Monkey Business guys studied in Team Academy and now they have their own company.
We spoke and shared some experiences while we were having the dinner.
After that we went to a bar to take some drinks where 20 minutes later Nic came.
We were speaking about our worries, ideas, how we thought that should be focus LEINN degree…..
It was a great and funny day.
The following day we were in Pro Akatemia(Tampere), is like a Team Academy, however here, the first university year was spent in one university and then they have the choice of going to Proakatemia.
We met Jukka Siltanen, he is coach and nice person, he showed us the different places were the student undertake their projects,
Also we had the opportunity to be in a meeting where a customer was speaking about his enterprise. This customer order to the student to make 3 slogans, a web design, an one logo, in 24 hours.
If the customer was satisfied, he must pay them (the student), if not the student must pay the customer for spend his time with them.
Proakatemia take place in three rooms, the first one is where the meetings rooms are given, and where you can sit to take the coffee.
The other one is where the student have their own place work, and they are working in different projects.
And the third one is a place where student from different university can go share their ideas and make projects together.
Then, about 12:00 we went with Nic, to Jyvaskyla, to TEAM ACADEMY.
Team Academy is another feeling comparing with a traditional university that maybe you can not understand what is happening, is like a chaos!! Some people are speaking; others are putting some chairs in another room, other playing with the ball, other in the sofas….it ´s funny.
So, we entered in Team Academy, and we were talking with some coaches, students….and Lasse was showing us the different areas inside T.A.
It has two flats, and in this flat are some places for the different groups, each group has its own name, and 15-20 people per group.
T.A is looks like a big factory adapted to students needs, feelings, wilings…
While we were walking around T.A we could see how each group had their own sofas, music, coffee maker, papers in the wall….
Today, 14/05/09, Thursday, we have been in a training session. Trainins session is a meeting with your coach where you can explain you what ever you want. In this session has been spoken about Motorola questions, learning, how to innovate, and above all economical result so far.
The coach has been mainly guiding the session, but not giving a class.
Then, I have been speaking with some student explaining my project about sustainable development, also talking about their projects, how is their way of working, so sharing our ideas, and feelings.
Also, we have meet Johannes Partanen, the headcoach of Team Academy, however, I think that he was so busy because he had to give a meeting about friendship a leadership.
In my opinion, it´s another kind of learning, where you have the opportunity to work with the real market, with real customers….besides you must to “leave” with your team partners and use the empathy to have a nice relation.
I think, that a lot of conditions are needed to go on in the projects, that without knowing you are making stronger yourself.
I strongly think that you have to do your place, your friends, your sweet home and all those things, but also think that the people should open their minds and travel around different cultures, countries and have the opportunity to meet different kind of people, that maybe one day can help you.
