Welcome to helsinki Fulbright Finland welcomes you to the 2016 European Fulbright Conference: Crossing Borders for Global Partnerships. This conference brings together over 90 Fulbright leaders from over 40 countries on both sides of the Atlantic to share best practices and strategize future exchanges. We are very pleased to welcome you to Kalastajatorppa. This venue has witnessed international relations in the making, and its history intersects with the Finnish-Amer-ican Fulbright program. In 1975, Kalastajatorppa served as one of the sites for the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe (CSCE) – a diplomatic event that marked the beginning of the end of the Cold War. Ful-bright Finland’s Trust Fund was founded during this very conference by Finnish President Urho Kekkonen and U.S. President Gerald Ford. Our conference coincides with the 40th Anniversary of the signing of the Trust Fund Char-ter in June 1976, and our Sunday welcome reception will take place where the CSCE delegates were holding their famous garden party… Today Kalastajatorppa will serve as the site for us to come together to share the very best that Fulbright in Europe has to offer, to learn from each other, explore current is-sues of mobility and exchanges, to strategize future devel-opment, and devise novel ways of collaboration – to cross borders for global partnerships. A first for any European Fulbright conference, there is an exposition area where Fulbright commissions, embassies, and cooperating agen-cies can showcase best practices. Our aim is to share the conference and its content beyond the conference itself. Presentations and background materials will be posted on the conference website for the benefit of those who are not able to participate in person. Participants also have the opportunity for real-time interaction through social me-dia during the conference on Twitter at #FulbrightEurope. Our hope is that the conference website will serve as a resource, and that the discussions, ideas, and cooperation

initiated in Helsinki will continue long after the confer-ence has concluded. Beyond the formal program, the timing of our conference will allow you to experience the white nights of our North-ern latitudes and to taste Finnish Midsummer – be sure to find out what Finns mean by sauna, sisu, and mölkky! The dinner cruise will take you by some of the iconic land-marks in Helsinki, including the Suomenlinna Fortress Is-land (UNESCO World Heritage Site), the Helsinki Kaup-patori market place, and of course the renowned Finnish icebreakers. The conference is funded by the U.S. Department of State. And true to the Fulbright Finland spirit, its organization has been a genuine joint effort. First and foremost, my sincere thanks go to the Bureau of Educational and Cul-tural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State for the seam-less cooperation. I also wish to sincerely thank the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture, the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and the U.S. Embassy in Helsinki for their invaluable contribution. And we are deeply indebted to the Members of the Fulbright Finland Board of Di-rectors and the Finland-America Educational Trust Fund, and our Honorary Chair, Ambassador Charles C. Adams, Jr. for their unwavering support. I also wish to acknowl-edge the input from Fulbright commissions and posts all over Europe. And last, but most definitely not least, I want to convey my deepest appreciation to Mirka McIntire, Maija Kettunen, and our entire Fulbright Finland Team in Helsinki – unapologetically brilliant! Tervetuloa! Welcome! We invite you to immerse yourself in the Helsinki experience and wish you a fruitful, pro-ductive and enjoyable conference with Fulbright Finland!

“The Fulbright Center mission is toexpand Finnish-North American collaboration

through exchanges of talent and knowledge. The Center’s vision is to empower the minds that will

find global solutions to tomorrow’s challenges by fostering academic and professional expertise

and excellence in leadership.”

– Fulbright Center Board of Directors, 2014

18

The Fulbright Center (the Finn-ish-American Fulbright commis-sion) is an independent, private, not-for-profit organization based in Helsinki, Finland. In 2015 the Ful-bright Center awarded over EUR 1,24 million in grants to a total of 89 Finnish and American research-ers, students, and professionals. Ad-ditionally, the Center responded to over 4400 client contacts (25% of which were international education professionals) and organized or par-ticipated in over 87 training events around Finland.

The Fulbright Center supports the internationalization of educa-tion and research in Finland, and helps U.S. and Finnish institutions create linkages. Under its Interna-tionalization Services the Center or-ganizes themed study tours to the United States for Finnish higher education experts, runs the highly popular Fulbright Speaker Program, the Fulbright Dialogues series, and the Transatlantic Roundtables, as well as organizes two national Ful-bright Seminars every year.

In February 2016 in Oulu, Ful-bright Finland hosted the Plenary Week of the first Fulbright Arctic Initiative, and in June 2016 Ful-bright Finland serves as the host

of the 2016 European Fulbright Conference: Crossing Borders for Global Partnerships.

The Center is funded by the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture and the U.S. Department of State, the Finland-America Edu-cational Trust Fund, private foun-dations, Finnish and U.S. higher education institutions, the Cana-dian government, and by alumni of the Fulbright Center programs. Over 80% of the Center’s core funding originates from Finland, and advancement, fundraising and sponsored grants are a central part of the operation. A key strength of the commission is the consistent strategic engagement of the alumni. Well over 5000 Finns and Ameri-cans have received a grant from the Finnish-American program since its inception in 1949 and the Fulbright Center runs an active and rapidly growing alumni network in both countries.

The Fulbright Center Board of Directors consists of eight members appointed by the Finnish Ministry of Education and the U.S. Embas-sy in Finland. The U.S. Ambassador to Finland serves as the Honorary Chair of the Board. The Center has a staff of seven.

Sauna – one of Finland’s gifts to the world!

Taste of Finnish MidsummerSunday afternoon 17.00–19.00

When in Finland…

The word sauna is Finnish and it is pronouced sow (female pig) – nah. The sauna is basically a bath, a traditional way to clean oneself. It is not intended for weight control, physical conditioning, or sexual activity. Families usually have a sauna time once or twice a week, in which the whole family may go together. Otherwise, saunas are segregated – the men go to one, the women to another.

A Relaxing ExperienceThe sauna has a very clean, wholesome, pure, and almost religious conno-tation in Finnish tradition. You will probably find the experience simple, relaxing, and enjoyable. Almost all apartment buildings and most houses have their own saunas. If you are a first-timer, do not be afraid to ask a few questions about procedure and sauna etiquette.

Finnish Midsummer is originally a celebration of summer solstice. Al-though traditions vary depending on the region, bathing in saunas, lighting bonfires, barbequing, boat-ing, and playing games with friends and family at summer cabins are common everywhere in the country.

Join your Fulbright Finland friends for a taste of Finnish Mid-

summer by the hotel beach and sau-na area. Learn to make your own vihta from birch branches, relax in the sauna and swim in the Bal-tic Sea, or come enjoy a game of mölkky and have some refreshments with your colleagues. For more ad-venturous guests, there will be some Stand Up Paddle (SUP) boards to try. In the true fashion of Finnish Midsummer, a barbeque dinner will follow (starting 19.00).

Your Fulbright Finland Midsummer guides: Johanna Lahti (vihta/vasta and women’s sauna), Mirka McIntire (mölkky), Emilia Holopainen (SUP boards), David Yoken (men’s sauna).

22

You should know at least three sauna wordsKiuas – Sauna stoveLöyly – Steam or vapour cre-ated by throwing water on the stones of the stove or the heat, humidity and temperature in the sauna in general.Vihta, vasta – Whisk, made of birch (or similar) twigs. Used for beating the body in the hot room to stimulate the feel of the löyly.

Learn from a FinnA nation of five million people with 1.5 million saunas has no need to ac-quire a formal sauna education – learning to bathe in the sauna comes as naturally as learning to speak. First-timers would do well to have their first encounter with the sauna in the company of a Finnish friend or acquain-tance, rather than following a mechanical set of instructions that reduces sauna bathing to a drill by numbers.

A Matter of PreferenceHaving a sauna is something natural to all Finns, yet people do have their own ways of bathing in the sauna. But a Finn would never say to another that he is ’doing it wrong’. It is a matter of preference. This is a good prin-ciple to follow for the visitor too: listen to your own body and follow your own rhythm in moving between the hot room, the washing room and the open air, perhaps including the lake or the sea.

The sauna is no place for anyone in a hurry. When the bathing is over, it is customary to continue the occasion with conversation, drinks and per-haps a light meal. A guest’s comments on the sauna experience will be listened to with interest, after all, this is a subject that Finns never tire of talking about.
