The University community will celebrate cultural fusions in November – Global Week 18.-22.11.2024

Join us for a week of celebrating with people from different backgrounds and cultures.


People dancing together.

Global Week is an opportunity to explore the world right here in Oulu without leaving the campus!

The week’s programme includes old favourites like the Festival of Cultures and Study Abroad Fair – but also brand-new events focusing on fusing Finnish culture with cultures represented in our university communities.

Whether you want to discover new cuisines, music, art, start-up ideas and cultural knowledge, you will find it in the week’s programme! Global Week is open to everyone - students and staff of UniOulu and Oamk as well as Oulu citizens and visitors.

Stay tuned – the whole programme will be revealed in the early autumn!

Don't miss this chance to expand your horizons and connect with the global community. Stay tuned, save the dates in your calendar and follow our channels, as more information will be revealed closer to autumn on the week's event page.

Welcome to celebrate the fusion of cultures!

Oulu is the European Capital of Culture 2026. Global Week is a part of Oulu2026 cultural programme and a part of cultural climate change.
