Tervetuloa Singaporeen!
Suomalainen yhteisö yhteistyössä suurlähetystön, SiSun ja FBC:n kanssa järjestää uusille tulokkaille illan, jonka aikana on mahdollista tutustua meihin jo maassa oleviin ja saada vastauksia mieltä askarruttaviin kysymyksiin.
Singaporessa on aktiivinen suomalaisyhteisö ja toivotamme sinut lämpimästi tervetulleeksi mukaan.
Virtuaalinen tapaamisemme on jaettu kahteen osioon: ensimmäisessä osiossa yhteisö esittäytyy ja toisessa osiossa jakaudumme kahteen ryhmään (SiSu ja FBC & Team Finland).
Illan avaa suurlähettiläämme Antti Vänskä ja suurlähetystön tiimi esittäytyy. SiSun puheenjohtaja Harri Nieminen kertoo SiSun toiminnasta ja Suomi-koulun rehtori Nina Nordman Suomi-koulun toiminnasta sekä lopuksi FBC:n puheenjohtaja Tiina Haikola esittelee FBC:n toimintaa Singaporessa. Puheenvuorojen jälkeen SiSulaiset ja Suomi-koulu vastaavat SiSun ja koulun toimintaan liittyviin kysymyksiin ja FBC:läiset yhdessä suurlähetystön vastaavat kysymyksiin erillisessä sessiossa.
