University of Lapland, together with the Lapland University Consortium, organizes informal Café Lingua meetings for those interested in German, Russian, Scandinavian and Spanish languages and cultures. The idea is to bring together native speakers and people who study foreign languages or are otherwise interested in them.

Café Lingua meetings offer an excellent opportunity for creating multilingual and multicultural evenings right in the centre of Rovaniemi. The casual atmosphere of Café Lingua allows people to chit chat in German, Russian, Spanish or Scandinavian languages while enjoying a nice cup of coffee.

Café Lingua meetings will be organized as follows:

• Russian every other Tuesday at 17–18: 17 January, 31 January and 14 February
• Spanish every other Wednesday at 16–17: 18 January, 1 February and 15 February
• Scandinavian languages every other Tuesday at 16–17: 24 January, 7 February and 21 February
• German every other Wednesday at 17–18: 25 January, 8 February and 22 February

 
All Café Lingua meetings take place at Café Linna (address: Koskikatu 14–16, Rovaniemi).

All interested in languages and cultures – such as Finnish and international students, locals, tourists and tourism operators – are warmly welcome to join.

Café Lingua meetings in January and February
