Idea: To Organize a new winter expedition called a Touch of Tuntsa and to improve soft and hard-skills
Who: For everyone, who are interested in learning new things and want to improve their own skills.
Why: Lapland is a beautiful place and we want everybody to see that. Also we want to take participants deeper with OBF methods (soft-skills and hard- skills). The most important thing is that the participants get something that they can use in everyday life.

Course description
A Touch of Tuntsa is a course for all who want to experience Finnish Lapland at its best and challenge themselves in Finland’s powerful nature while learning basic winter survival skills. This course is for people who want to get more familiar with Lapland, improve their own skills on survival, communication and group dynamics. The course is now confirmed and it will be held on 25-31.3.2017 in Naruska.
What have we done until now:
We started planning the course in September on our own. We put much effort on making all kind of information materials and arranging practical things. We started marketing the course at Finnish UAS Schools to the exchange students in November. We had to be super active sending emails and calling to the International Coordinators of the schools.
Gladly, our job paid off and we got enough participants to get the course happen. At this moment, we have only few places available. We have already contacted the participants and sent them detailed info letter, equipment list and nutrition list so they can start to prepare for the course. Our mission is to organize everything before and during the course. We are also the contact persons between Outward Bound Finland and the participants. This experience has taught us a lot so far and we can’t even imagine how much we will learn during this project. We are so excited already, A Touch of Tuntsa will be unforgettable experience! |
