From India to Salo
After hearing that Finland is the happiest country in the world, Indian Kiran Drall decided to move to Finland to study Social Services. Santa’s home country did not have a great joyful carnival atmosphere at Christmas, as Drall had thought, but Drall is enthusiastic about Finnish freedom and independence, which can already be seen in the everyday life of small children. Drall’s chosen degree, the English-language Bachelor of Social Services, Early Childhood Education organized at the Salon IoT Campus, enables working as a social professional in, for example, early childhood education.
