Life At Bonnier - Evita

Meet Tomaz Lampret

GROW participant Tomaz Lampret finds passion and creativity in Finland.

Waking up one Monday morning in a new country, a new city and walking for the first time to Bonnier Publications Oy in Finland where Tomaz Lampret didn't know anybody was a big step. "Taking a deep breath and the first smile from a new coworker definitely helped," says Lampret, who is in Helsinki for three months under the GROW program. Normally he works at business daily Finance in Slovenia.

Sigurd Eriksen: Still exploring

Sigurd finds out that it's pretty easy being a Norwegian in Helsinki.

I've been in Helsinki for some time now and start to realise that people here is not much different from people back in Norway. Except from the language, it's pretty easy being a Norwegian in Helsinki. Well, the part with the language isn't a big problem either, since most Finns speak excellent English.

Extraordinary Opportunity

GROW's Michael Goesele revels in the challenge of applying his design skills to Finland's Evita.

I am nearing the end of my first month in Helsinki, and what a month it's been! I've visited numerous countries, walked the halls of gorgeous museums, gone to the opera, drank the beers of Europe, and all the while meeting people who have opened my mind and eyes.
