15 Korkeakouluopinnot numeroina 16 Fulbright Runs in the Family! 18 Fulbright Germination: Conversation Analysis, Autism, and Cross National Cooperation Cover: Fulbright Grantee Brings Music to At-risk Girls In addition to exploring the influence of folk music on Jean Sibelius’ piano music, Fulbright Graduate Student Olivia Jamandre is sharing her skills and passion for music with young Finnish and immigrant girls at the Girls’ House in Helsinki. In efforts to empower at-risk girls, the Girls’ House offers counseling, peer groups, workshops, and social activities for girls between 14-28 years. Since last fall, Olivia has been giving piano lessons for girls who would not otherwise have opportunities for piano lessons. Making a difference in these girls’ lives has further enriched Olivia’s Fulbright experience in Finland. Cover photo: Philip Jamandre
