Joukkue Pohojosen tokka, Lapin ammattikorkeakoulu

Kainuun korvista katajainen kansa on jo satojen vuosien ajan ammentanut suomalaista sisua, vaurautta ja mustaa kultaa. Pekka Heikkisen perinteinen tervaleipä maistuu nyhdetyn naudan tai kauran, raikkaan puolukan ja savuisen juuston kera.

Kajaanilainen eväsleipä on aikansa mukainen, perinteitä kunnioittava, puolukkainen suolukka - Tervanapponen!

It's your favorite heroes!
We have received our final score, including all of our pre- and on-site assignments and we have two good news that we would like to share to all of you:
1. Our social media campaign received really high score, and we finally made it to top 5 in the "Rumor Around the Brand" assignment!!! WOOHOO!!! :) Thanks to everyone on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter...you know yourself! :)
2. We were actually placing in the top 10. This is the second time Lapland team made it to top 10 and we hope next year's team would keep up the spirits, and probably even higher! :)

The past two days were crazy but extremely fun for us. Thank you EMCup for this amazing experience, and once again, congrats to VIEchange EMCup 2017 for the winning. You guys deserved it! :)
We met a lot of amazing people from different teams, such as: FINNISHers (BTW, we snapped one of your team members for our photo), Stay-inn Hospitality Rocks and many others. Thank you for being such good companies! Hope you guys all the best and see you soon.
Lastly, we want to say thank you to everyone who has been with us since the beginning of this journey. You guys have been supporting us so well that we could not be more thankful for. For us, you ALL are the HEROES OF ROVANIEMI.
We cannot wait for next year's team to pass down our experiences and of course, what we have learned, But for now, it's time to end our journey!
THANK YOU! :)

Remember our intro video we showed to you a couple months ago? We had so much fun doing it, we were having a few blooper clips for you to see the behind-the-scenes. We love every moment of it and we want to share it all with you! :)

Next week is our final week before leaving to Maastrict, the Netherlands to compete.
We started our journey with a lot of enthusiasm and excitement, and we are going to end it high. We won't say we are going to win, we just say that we are going to try our very best.
So no matter what's going to happen, we are going to shine on that stage, just like the beautiful Northern Light every night in Rovaniemi!
It's FINAL WEEK! Let's get this going!
