Working day six started with team work, but soon it was time for the first field trip to YLE TV2 studios in Tohloppi, a 15 minutes bus ride from central square Keskustori.

We got first coffee and chocolate in the auditorium, where YLE Head of Mediapolis Minna Tiihonen told about the new strategies of YLE, the Finnish national broadcasting company. Openness and cooperation are two of the keywords, and Mediapolis is a demonstration of those.
Mediapolis is next year starting around the TV2 studios, TAMK School of Art and Media will move there and so will many media companies. Mediapolis will be the new media centre of Finland, where content meets technology and students the professionals.

Himmelblau
After a short and late lunch break we visited Himmelblau Printmaking Studio, Finland’s leading professional printmaking workroom. Our host was Janne Laine, one of the first ever graduates of Tampere School of Art and Media in 1994.

Spanish nightIn the evening the Vic University delegation produced and hosted a Spanish - or should I rather say a Catalan - night. It was awesome, and the Latvian champions of course again won the competition.
