The Puhutaan suomeksi! campaign started in September 2012. The aim of the programme was to support the Finnish learning of international students and encourage them to learn the language in normal everyday situations. The campaign finished at the end of November 2012 when students were required to return their passports to their Faculty’s study office. During the programme students collected stamps into their Finnish language passport when visiting campus services, such as cafeterias and libraries. The clear winner of the Puhutaan suomeksi! campaign was the Cameroonian Moumi Jackson, a student from the Faculty of Technology at Lahti University of Applied Scineces (LUAS).
