 Y- Campus at TAMK University in Tempere City.....
They have the Pro- Academy and Entrepreneurship, in the Y- Campus the space is so different. Students came to speed time to develop their on bussines. Y-campus is open in 2011. The results are about 25 percent of the studants became an entrepreneur.  The mentor's help the studants whith their carres theirs ideas their experience  for theirs business life. The mentor's are from differents areas whit different kind of expertise, their are volunteers. They are from the TAMK University, from the others university's , from the business. In Finland the entrepreneur is stimulating to man theirs ideas in a business ISO fast, and here it's'so more easy and cheaper than in Brazil to  patent a new idea.  Y-campus improve the studants make events. There is something going on at Y-campus every week, not like a marketing. This events are doing to put people in contact with news ideas and to meet others people. The studants have support from the University for their ideas became a business.  For teachers the Y-campus develop their coaching skills on a two-day training session. The training sessions for teachers includ: diverse views on teaching and coaching, ideas for entrepreneurship education, empowering experiences, tools for coaching, new enthusiasm and energy. In Pro academy don't have teachers only mentors, don't have classes only projects.

Finally a International project  it's one part of the final project.the students give money by themselves , they organize events to make money to that international Project. The students learn doing projects and they organize theirs hours to study. It's  a students responsibility do theirs activities and organize the time. The students works in his company, project, to get money. But sometimes they have to work out of Proacademy to get money. In Proacademy we talk with two students and they tell us about how the projects works.

The first week and the first impression
The first impression was good. See the snow, feel the cold whether, know news people's.

In the begining ...

Leave Brazil in midsummer, almost 40 degrees and come to Finland to -8 degrees! Having never been to Europe and a very basic English was an adventure. As in the luggage did not fit any more and I did not bring much, had to travel with his boot for extreme cold. So imagine, right in the airport of Rio de Janeiro with this boot! Difficult? No, an adventure. Arriving at Helsinki airport the night, a damned anxiety. Thankfully, another teacher who is participating in the project Vet- Teachers for the Future, arrived almost with me in Helsinki. Phew! I did not know him, just knew the Gyovanni name. When I saw gave me a relief. We left for the city where we live for 5 months, the beautiful Hämeenlinna

"In the Beginning"

"I have a good mind

take into my head

to start off singing

begin reciting

reeling off a tale of kin

and singing a tale of kind.

The words unfreeze in my mouth

and the phrases are tumbling

upon my tongue they scramble

along my teeth they scatter.

Brother dear, little brother

fair one who grew up with me

Start off now singing with me 

begin reciting with me

since we have got together

since we have come from two ways!

We seldom get together

and meet each other

on these poor borders

the luckless lands of the North. 

Let's strike hand to hand

fingers into finger-gaps

that we may sing some good things

set some of the best things Roth

for those darling ones to hear

for those with a mind to know

among the youngsters rising

among the people growing-

those words we have got

tales we have kindled from....."

( The Kalevala- Elias Lönnrot)
