Some visits were made
to old Riga, Jūrmala, the biggest seaside resort
in the Baltic States and to a national park. We also visited a bakery where we made our own
bread. In the end of the visit we got our bread with us and after returning
home the bread reminded us of the really nice stay in Riga.

What is NICE network?
The New Initiatives and Challenges in Europe,
NICE network is a network for representatives of
more than 35 business schools, faculties and departments of business and
economics. They work together in order
to develop curricula, joint projects, intensive courses, exchanges, internships
and other cooperation. Pirkko Varis from Tampere University of Applied
Sciences has taken part for many years in the NICE network and in the projects
initiated by the members of the network. For example the IICEE European module
was developed by some partners and now it is part of the curriculum in several
universities throughout Europe. An intensive programme was developed based upon
the module, too. In annual meetings of the network study programmes and methods
are compared, new initiatives are discussed and proposals are made for
cooperation and development of the network.
The Quality Charter of the NICE network and other information is
available on the website of the network www.nicenetwork.eu
