Visit campuses Leppa

Today a have a  visit in the Leppa Hamk campuses

Lepaa is the oldest and most prestigious institute where you can study horticulture in Finland.

Horticultural training began back in 1910 when Lepaa manor was converted into a school. Lepaa is located by Lake Vanajavesi, 17 km from Hämeenlinna and 120 km from Helsinki.

Lepaa is surrounded by a large manor park and has display gardens for a wide variety of ornamental and crop plants. Both garden and arable plants are grown on the Institute’s fields of 50 hectares. The total area of Lepaa is 280 hectares; most of it is forest. Greenhouses produce comestibles and ornamental crops. Lepaa’s facilities consist of a modern main building and several adjacent buildings. Some of the buildings date from 1910 when the institute was established. The new main building was completed in 1993. In winter, students may practise landscape constructions in a modern hall with all needed materials.

Most services and leisure time activities are found either in Hämeenlinna or closer in Parola (7 km from Lepaa) (http://www.hamk.fi/english/about-hamk/locations-and-maps/lepaa-campus/Sivut/default.aspx).

Guidance

Today have a class about guidance

Who does it?
Everybody? Embedded in learning community.

Career counseling and career guidance are similar in nature to other types of counseling, e.g. marriage or psychological counseling. What unites all types of professional counseling is the role of practitioners, who combine giving advice on their topic of expertise with counseling techniques that support clients in making complex decisions and facing difficult situations. The focus of career counseling is generally on issues such as career exploration, career change, personal career development  and other career related issues.

Paris trip

Paris trip 26/feb - 02/mar

Know paris was a dream of my daughter and my, which was possible to be done in that period. Paris is a wonderful city full of interesting things to know. As our remained would not be too long we had to select some places to visit.

Upon arriving at the airport Charles Gaulle, we move to the center of Paris using the metro ( RER ), the offset is very fast and easy. Got off at the station nearly Eiffel Tower, after a few steps we can already see the giant tower, as was already dusk, was fully lit, wonderful.

Eiffel Tower

Disneyland

On the second day we took a metro (RER A) and went to Eurodisney, bought a ticket entitled to visit the two parks: Disneyland (European version of the Californian park) and Walt Disney Studios. The two parks are very nice, has many toys, interesting scenarios to know and souvenir shops. To access some toys had to wait in long lines.

Walt Disney Studios

Place the Trocadeiro

On the third day we were initially the Place du Trocadeiro to take some pictures of away from the Eiffel Tower. After we went to visit the Basilica of Sacre-Coeur, is very well located in a very high point of the city and allows take beautiful photos. Nearby, there are also many souvenirs shops with lower prices.

Bridge of locks

The trip to paris gave us a few moments of reflection: As the population people walk in a hurry through the streets and metro stations, everything looks very dynamic and run. In train stations basically you buy your ticket in machines, at one point I got a subway station to ask for information and was surprised that the clerk spoke only in French, I decided my way, I spoke English and he answered in French the signs helped a lot. On the train my daughter was surprised in three stages: 1) the train door closes in people, seem to lack any sensor to prevent this type of accident. 2) at times the trains were crowded; 3) there was an accident with a man on a treadmill and he fell to the bottom of the ladder and climbed fallen again and people had to run to try to help have not seen any kind of device to stop the escalator.

I learned with this trip to seek information on maps and to interpret the train routes. Use different ways to communicate when the languages are not common and basically planning your trip, you must know where you want to go at all times and which can be visited near the sites planned in order to save money and time.
