Experience your world > Finland

Finland, the seventh largest country in Europe, is nestled between Norway and Russia. Its area extends 1150km north to south, and 500km east to west. Officially bi-lingual, 6% of the population speak Swedish and the others a dialect of Finnish. S.C.C.E. programs expose students to the complex history and multi-cultural aspects of Finland in addition to providing an immersion into a host family ready to share the unique qualities of Finland with a young Australian guest.

For many years, Finland has been content with their low profile kept alive by their desire to remain neutral in the sometimes volatile Northern Europe. It does now face new challenges with the strengthening of the EU and the changes occurring almost daily in Russia. The result is a country where a nation in flux can be observed as it deals with new economic and social issues. Imaginative design used in architecture and furniture provide examples of the country’s mixture of tastes and ethnic cosmology.

Finns enjoy spending time away from home and often visit one of the 188,000 lakes that cover about 10% of the country. With several months of the year when the sun does not set (at all), Finns have developed a large variety of activities designed for their lesuire.

With nearly 100% of literacy rate, one can see the commitment to excellence of the Finnish school system.

Thank you S.C.C.E. for providing me with the chance to become a part of a country and a culture I have been looking at from a distance my whole life - it’s just that isn’t it? An exchange is so much more that just ‘visiting’ another country - you live with its people, immersed in the culture and language, and without even realising it, you become a part of that country.

Becky Tomilson, Vic. – Exchange Student

Being an exchange student was invaluable. I saw amazing places, ate unique foods, met some of my best friends. It was an experience which influenced me more than many other experiences. Since then, I’ve completed a degree, travelled to a number of countries, and lived in Japan for about 2-1/2 years. After 7 years, I am finally going back to Finland! Friends and host family have extended their offers of accommodation, transportation, sightseeing - everything. Their generosity is endless. I was so fortunate with the placement and support during my exchange time there.
