Freezing Week 2027
17–18 FEBRUARY 2027
Freezing Week is Teaching Week!
Registration will open soon — please stay tuned for updates!
Welcome!
We are pleased to invite teachers and staff from HAMK’s partner institutions around the world to join us for Freezing Week 2027, a hands-on, collaborative event designed to deepen our cooperation in teaching and learning.
What’s new in 2027? In previous years, Freezing Week has offered a broad overview of HAMK’s activities. In 2027, we are taking a new approach: the focus will be on deeper collaboration with selected degree programmes and concrete cooperation between colleagues.
The programme will include, for example:
· Co-teaching and pedagogical collaboration with HAMK staff
· Job shadowing opportunities within relevant degree programmes
· Discussions to identify long-term cooperation topics and next steps
Of course, it wouldn’t be Freezing Week without a traditional Finnish winter experience, which is included in the programme.
Warm welcome to Finland! Let’s make Freezing Week 2027 a meaningful step forward in our collaboration.

Our safety work is based on the idea that everyone has the right to contribute to the safety of our community. We are building a strong, sustainable and genuine sense of safety by working together to strengthen the everyday safety and resilience of our community. Read more here.
At the event, we will follow the Safer Space Principles to ensure that the event is a positive and rewarding experience for all participants.
We are aware that an event cannot always be completely safe for everyone, and we actively encourage participants to create an atmosphere of safety and well-being. Let’s look after each other.
Our core principles are:
- We respect everyone’s personal physical and mental space and do not cross boundaries without permission.
- We do not make assumptions or generalisations, and we respect everyone’s individuality and identity.
- We discuss constructively and give everyone the opportunity to contribute to the discussion. We respect each other’s opinions, experiences and different points of view. We are open to new ideas, and we ask questions with the courage to learn.
- We listen to feedback and change our behaviour if someone expresses that our behaviour makes others uncomfortable.
- We take responsibility for our own actions and apologise if we hurt others unintentionally or intentionally.
- We will always address any perceived or observed harassment, inappropriate behaviour or other threats to safety immediately, and offer our support in dealing with the situation.
If you experience or observe harassment or other inappropriate behaviour during an event that persists despite expressing discomfort with the situation, please contact the event organisers, the Security Officer (see contact details below) or other staff. We are here to help and support you.
If you wish, you can also report any observations after the event by e-mail or by using the anonymous reporting form (see contact details below).
The Hämeenlinna University of Applied Sciences is located at Vankanlähde 9.
There are emergency maps in the campus premises, which show the locations of escape routes and initial fire-fighting equipment, among other things. The campus has several defibrillators, in the event area in the N building on the 1st floor lobby and in the S building on the 3rd floor lobby.
The campus emergency plan is available online here.
