Joensuu and me

I went to Joensuu again this week to follow Energy Transitions Conference in UEF Law School: energy law is something that I have been interested in since my exchange studies when Law School was still called Department of Law. So, that is the main reason of my trip how it is stated in my official documentation. On Friday, a friend of mine asked me what I like about Joensuu and then I became a bit of puzzled. In fact, I have not been paying much attention to Joensuu itself and the last photos of Joensuu on my computer date back to 2009. So, I decided to take camera with me and take a nice night walk to explore Joensuu on my own.

The Joensuu City Theatre has its home in the building of the Town Hall. 



I like this bridge since I explored it first time last summer. 
Summer & winter, day & night.

Open-air debates

There are so many amazing things about debates. You can talk endlessly about how public speaking skills can be effectively acquired through debates, not to mention better command of English (or any other official debate language) and analytical skills.
However, there is one undeniable advantage of debates - just hanging out around and sharing your thoughts and aspirations with other! Summer may be quite a relaxed season, not ideally suited for intellectual events but still, we managed to meet each other and have a nice open-air debate!

You will not see me on the picture - I was a debate paparazzi this time (as well as the prime minister on the motion about making internet memes cultural heritage!)
