Linginno (UVA Language Centre) is organising a monthly book club in English from January 2023. The objective of each session is to trigger cross-cultural discussions and debates around a book, and ultimately bring together our Finnish/Swedish-speaking university community and the international community (students and staff).

• Time: Once a month on a Wednesday, 15.00 - 16.30 (18.1, 15.2, 15.3, 19.4)
• Location: Tritonia Library, room L201

First session (18.1): cabin life and nature

“I had no idea that reading it would lead me to a cabin. It's dangerous to open a book.” ― Sylvain Tesson

Book studied:  The Consolations of the Forest: Alone in a Cabin on the Siberian Taiga by the French explorer and writer Sylvain Tesson

Organiser: Nicolas Devilez (nicolas.devilez@uwasa.fi)

Who? Staff and students from UVA, VAMK and NOVIA (maximum 25 participants)

What? A friendly and informal cross-cultural talk about our relationship with nature and solitude, the importance of taking time for yourself and slowing down, simplicity and so many other inspiring themes.

How? Well, first, read the book
