Global minds, united vision: Standing together in a world of change at Xamk

Xamk is happy to announce that we will be hosting our traditional International Week on 17.-21. November 2025 at our Kouvola campus! We warmly welcome all our partners to the event. The event is organized by the Department of Business, the Department of Culture, and Internationalisation Services.

This year’s theme is Global minds, united vision: Standing together in a world of change.

In a time when the world faces division, uncertainty, and rapid change, we gather to celebrate what brings us together — our cultures, our values, and our shared humanity. International Week is a testament to the power of cooperation, respect, and understanding across borders. Let our differences be the strength that unites us. Together, as global minds with a united vision, we create hope, build peace, and shape a better tomorrow.

During the week, the theme will be explored through:
• an inspiring keynote speech
• introducing opportunities for internationalisation for students
• enhancing international competences of university staff and students
• introducing Indian culture
• enjoying traditional Finnish winter activities

The detailed programme will be announced later, but in addition to what is already mentioned, it will include lectures provided by guest lecturers and theme-related workshops. We will also have an international food tasting event, which has always been a huge success! Please note that Monday is reserved for arriving to Kouvola and we will have a welcome dinner in the evening.
The enrollment ends on September 30th, so there is plenty of time to arrange your visit.
