OULU FINLAND EDUCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL VISITS PROGRAM 1 OULU Oulu is Northern Finland’s largest city, with easygoing inhabitants and a vibrand cultural life. Oulu is so close to the nature that you might even spot an elk in a park some evening. In addition to the green zones and urban atmosphere, you will enjoy its Arctic magic: the Northern Lights in the winter and a summertime sun that never sets. ARCTIC CIRCLE KALAJOKI Kalajoki is known for its long beach, which is ideal for lying in the OULU sun, relaxing and doing water sports. In summer, the sun shines almost around the clock. In winter, the snow-covered dunes and sea are a startling sight. Kajajoki with its sand dunes area called FINLAND ”Hiekkasärkät” is a compact holiday resort fering a wide range of services and activities for the whole family throughout the year. visitkalajoki.fi HELSINKI LIMINKA Liminka, the most rapidly growing municipality in Finland, is a dream come true for nature lovers.
