Conclusion

To summarize our first contact, it was not really a purely cultural exchange. It was mainly human. This is of course quite normal as it is the bigenning of a new relationship.
The Öja trip helped us to recognize each other. We know who is who. In French we would say that we are all in the same boat, that is to say we are sharing the same problems and therefore, we can help each other and build things together.
This trip has open doors to many future relations.

Unfortunately Nicolas has to leave Kokkola to return to Paris, Team One gathers now Liu, Mehmetali and Helena. This first article is dedicated to Nicolas and we wish him all the best for the future – hoping he will be able come back to Finland soon.
