I’ve been living in Helsinki only for few months, so there are still lots of new places for me to visit. I got really excited when packing the material for the conference participants, because I noticed how many interesting things it included also from my point of view. Lots of interesting information and new ideas what to do and where to go in Helsinki! I got already anxious to try out all the possibilities that this beautiful city is offering, and I’m sure people getting the same material are going to think alike.
One of the best things about the material is that the packages they’re in are recyclable. Even though we get all these things that I’m so exited about, the principles of a green conference have not been forgotten. Being a part of organizing this conference has been extremely interesting, and taking the green aspects in the picture is making it even better. I’m really looking forward to next week and everything it includes!
All the best,
Marja

Hello Marja,
ReplyDeleteNice meeting you and thanks for your smile...!
I like the idea of getting a bottle in the conference bag. I was last week at an incentive meeting in Brussels. It was the first time I heard about this idea: every participant receives a recycable bottle. The aim is, of course, to avoid throwing thousands of empty water bottles every day. I am sure the participants will get the message. But we getting interesting reactions: a french participant asked if it was for the Tour de France :-). A Mexican participant suggests it should be filled with Tequila!
Tomorrow is the big day....
In the meanwhile, I am learning about finnish culture and way of living. I find the light amazing (especially at night). I am happy to be here,
