Hiii!

My name is Ann-Sofie and I'm studying tourism management at Novia University of Applied Sciences. It's my third year now so this was actually my last course in school, HORRAY! I took part in INNO58 mostly because I enjoy working with development. I'm a person who likes to see change and therefore results :-)

For now my life is pretty much about studies but when I have time off I enjoy spending it with my family, which consists of my boyfriend Petri and our crazy greyhound puppy Yoda. If I would have more time I would work out more and continue with my painting hobby.

At the moment I still feel exhausted after our intensive working days in Kunsteniemi. In a good way though because I'm really pleased with the work we did. I highly recommend this course to others, although it felt kind of confusing in the beginning. But I guess you could say this course demands a lot of the student but gives back a lot as well.

To our group and our client I'd like to say THANK YOU, for simply being so awesome! I hope to keep in touch :)

Think globally, act locally!

As we didn’t present us in the beginning of the course, we decided to do it now. So my name is Elli and I’m a student from Handelshögskolan vid Åbo Akademi. My major is international marketing and minor is accounting. As my studies are very theory based, I was very eager to attend a more practical course.

When we started this project I hadn’t much knowledge of local food. The demand of local food is increasing. Consumers want fresh and local food, they want to know what the origin, of the products that they put in their mouth is. That’s why in my opinion our task was extremely interesting. What people don’t understand is that it is important to consider the health of our entire planet but at the same time take action in our own communities and cities. Think globally, act locally.

Hey there!

My name is Jonas and I was the only boy in the LoFo group, and here is a short presentation about me. Some 28 (soon 29) years ago i was born in the small town of Hanko. After living there all my life, working and enjoying life, I decided to change all that and move to Turku to study at Novia.

I am currently studying my second year at Novia, and (hopefully) someday i'll be a Bachelor of Business Administration. My free time usually revolve around any shape and form of music. Playing guitar is one of the best forms of relaxing for me. I also like very much to travel backpacker-style, but when you are studying, you are usually a bit short on the financial side, so I haven't been on as may trips lately as I would like to. :)

Today we had our last Inno meeting, were we gave feedback to the coaches and discussed the whole Inno project. It has been an amazing thing to be part of this project, the group was great and everyone really worked together on the project :) I feel that i've learned a lot from this project and I am deifinitely coming back for the autumn session of Inno

Hey!

We forgot to do our presentation about ourselves at the start, so we decided to do it now in the end. Better late than never! J

So, my name is Assi and I am one of the team members of Lofo-inno. I am 27 years old and I am a student from Turku University of Applied Sciences where I study my first year in Hospitality Management. If I do have some little time after studying and working I usually spend my time training our hyper-active dog. You could say that food is my passion and I love to plan different kinds of parties.

During these last months we had a couple of working days and meetings with our group and our contact person and a lot of independent work. Last Monday we went to Kunstenniemi for the final set. This whole project was a huge challenge for me because I am that kind person that needs exact assignments and deadlines. So the innovation was a new and exciting method for me to learn. During this project I wasn´t on my comfort zone, but now I have faced one big challenge for me and even got through it! Hooray  for me! J

Our task was difficult because our subject had such a wide range and we had a huge challenge to accomplish it. Our team was as great as I could have ever imagined it to be not to mention all the brilliant things they have taught me during this course! I believe we all agreed that we really managed to success in our task and future vision, and hopefully our client liked it too!

So, this amazing week has to come nearly the end, see you all tomorrow!

ARE YOU READY? WE ARE ;)

Tomorrow you will get to see what we have come up with within 48 hours of awesome innovation and brainstorming!

See you soon!

Assi, Jonas, Elli, Ann-Sofie

                                             A - Approach

                                             B - Benefit

                                             C - Competition

                          

WHY EAT LOCAL FOOD?
