The Programme Outline

 

Kummi Family Programme is a friend family programme organized by the International Relations of the University of Oulu, and it is designed to serve the exchange students coming to study at the university. The programme is active from September to mid May.

 

By participating in the Kummi Family Programme, you will have a chance to get a local friend family - a Kummi Family - that can offer you a peek to the everyday Finnish life. Several families from the Oulu area have volunteered to be a Kummi Family for international students with whom they can spend some free time together. This also means that students will not be living with families.

 

Having a Kummi Family means that you will have your own local friend family that is ready to take you out from the study environment every now and then, show you around a little bit and perhaps invite you to visit them sometimes. It also serves as a great tool for cultural exchange for the family and the student. The time spent and things done together are all up to the resources of the family and the student.

 

Participating in the Kummi Family Programme is optional but highly recommended by several previous international students that have had a Kummi Family during their time in Oulu. For many, it has offered special and fun experiences and friendships that will last even after the time in Oulu.
