Cultural course for Exchange:Turku Cathedral If you come to Turku you will surely pass by the Cathedral ( the Mother Church of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland ). It is possible to visit the Church for free and I absolutely suggest it since it is a very important building rappresenting the history of the city and the history of finland. The Church was built in 1300 but it was then expanded in the 14th century and then built again after the big fire of 1827 due to the big damages. The Cathedral is situated close to the city centre in a nice square, sorrounded by typical building that are part of the old town area. I was surprised knowing that the Church is regarded as one of the major records of Finnish architectural history and is considered as the most important religious building in Finland .

If I am asked to describe my own experience in Finland using few words I would definitely say: Friends and Natur...

This tool is very useful and interesting one to use in order to get a good overview of the different cultures and make a comparison with other countries in the world. I knew Italians and Finnish are very different but, using the Hofstede theory, I learned about some more aspects of the Finnish and Italian society and how much they actually differ from each other. Finland and Italy have been analyzed on different levels and fields: Power distance, individualism, masculinity, long term orientation and indulgence. In analysis about Finland, the results of the study show a society in which equal rights, decentralized power and communication are fundamental both in private life and working field. The score Finland achieved in the field of Individualism is pretty high. This f...
