*this programme is ran by TUAS university*
When I first heard about the friendship programme, I was very intrigued about it, what it was is basically you sign up your interest via email and enter some details about yourself such as your interests, hobbies etc. one you send it all off you will get your confirmation to say that you have been matched with some buddies, your buddy could be anything from a family to an individual person.
On the day you go to the event place (in this case it was the cafeteria at the university), you meet the tutor get your name badge then you have to start hunting for your buddy (they will also have your name tag). I got matched with four buddies. We all introduced ourselves and told each other where we are from and what we are currently studying, why we chose Finland as our Erasmus + destination etc. One of the buddies was from Finland so she was able to tell us some beauty spots to visit and what fun there is in Turku, cafes to visit and islands to visit.
During our time we created a WhatsApp group to keep in touch with each other, and so that we could meet up during our time in Finland.
From here we were able to communicate with each other to meet and do things together.
I think this programme is really important to consider as it helps you meet people from other countries, your able to learn new skills new languages and could make a friend for life from this.
