What: Fabulous Finland is a social media event enabled and implemented by international and internationally-minded students and staff members in Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS). It brings people together virtually to share their stories and experiences about studying and living in Finland.
When: Fabulous Finland is arranged on Tuesday the 10th of January 2017.
Where: The event takes place in social media and other virtual platforms.
How:
- Social media: You can be part of the Fabulous Finland event by writing messages and stories about your own UAS and Finland in social media. You can use your own social media channels and accounts for the messages. Make sure to use hashtag #finnips to get your messages shown on the FINNIPS Social Media Wall, which collects posts published on public accounts on social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram).
- When posting on social media, please make sure to follow good manners and make sure that you have right to share e.g. the photos.
- When messaging to your friends and networks, you can of course use your mother tongue. However, in order for more people to read your message on the social media wall, please make sure to post also in English!
- Other virtual platforms: Since everyone will be talking about Finnish UASs on 10 January 2017, why not make good use of the visibility for example by arranging webinars on the same day? You could also share videos or promote other UAS-related events taking place at a later date in your messages.
Why: Why not share your story and your Finnish experience to others? Send messages and photos to your friends, family and contacts back home and all over the world and tell them about your studies and life in Finland! The application period to Bachelor’s Degree Programmes taught in English takes place between 10 and 25 January 2017 so why not encourage people to apply to your UAS and degree programme? Last but not least, why not show to other UASs that yours is the best?! Let’s see from which UAS we get the greatest number of posts on the social media wall! Check the wall at the bottom of the FINNIPS website’s Student Stories section: http://www.finnips.fi/en/student-stories/
Let’s join forces and explode the social media! On Tuesday 10 January 2017. All around Finland and in Social Media. #finnips #fabulousfinland #VAMK #ownDegreeProgramme #studyinfinland #studyinfo #applynow #whyfinland #finland100
