creative opportunities to think outside the box.
Sessions range from two to four hour sessions of

X-games activities including:

For many foreigners, moving to Finland is a cultural shock

Orientation of Foreigners into the Finnish Way of Life
eX-pat service
not only because of the climate, but also because of our way of
life. Immigrants living in Finland on a permanent basis should
be encouraged to integrate into their new home country.
The aim of Learnwell Oy’s eX-pat service is to provide

immigrants living in Finland with sufficient skills to cope with
everyday routines. Our Finnish and Swedish teachers help
foreigners integrate into the Finnish society by providing them
with information on how to attend to their own affairs in
Finland.
Our eX-pat service helps foreigners with:

the paperwork at KELA (Social Insurance Institution
of Finland)
getting a driving licence or identity card
bills and other mail
finding a flat or buying one
going to the pharmacy or shopping
… and many other things that need to be done when
you settle down in a foreign country
It is also important for foreigners to learn the differences

between the values, norms and attitudes of their own and
Finnish culture, as this will help them to adjust to life in Finland.
They will become independent and self-motivated.

A company new to international activity may find it

X-questionnaire
difficult to know what is really needed in terms of language
services.
X-questionnaire covers more than just language training
needs. This FREE service involves personal collaboration with
you to produce a unique set of questions, defining such things
as:
the learners' existing skill in the language and knowledge
of the culture
the situations in which the learners expect to use their
skills once acquired
personal learner targets
topic oriented courses (for intensive courses)
the necessity for distance learning or video conferencing
Once we have adapted a questionnaire to your needs,
Learnwell Oy upload the questionnaire on the internet and send
it out to all defined parties during a designated time. X-
questionnaire will take no more than ten minutes to answer. We
will then print and compile all results into clear summarized
reports for your convenience free of charge.
Through X-questionnaire we can effectively group
participants according to ability, design programs to meet your
company's needs and build motivating factors for individual
participants. We like to know what each individual wants, what
the company needs and then aim to achieve the ideal balance.
