"Rethink it" was the first Grundtvig learning partnership of Wahren-opisto. There were two groups of rethinkers:

-The older persons making their life stories (13 persons) in Tyykihovi. They met once a week studing Finnish history  under Sweden and Russia and then after independence 1917. The group was ready to take "Europe" as their quests. Now they are europeans in Finland.

-The the other group "travelling"group studying what does Europe look like now - by coincidense also 13 persons - one belonging to the both groups. For them to study european life at this moment was possibility to understand better what is going on. Also for the stuff of Wahren-opisto learning partnership was eyeopening experience.

First autumn november 2008 Hervig Nulens visited in many groups of Wahren-opisto: English conversation class (which partipated later as assistanst to communicate with the life story group in Tyykihovi.) He visited also artgroups where learners were seaching for pictures of Finland.  He visited an exhibition of Arteducators in Riihimäki

 February 2009 we got group of Berliners and group from Belgium. Theme was history of Finland and Forssa. Nature in winter was for all to experience. To prepair first transnational meeting was good co-operative task.

June 2010 was the last meeting and it happened in Finland. Between these two meetings there happened a lot in Finland and in Europe. "True finns" increased their volume among finns. Wahren-opisto was called Forssan aikuisopisto when the project started. Eu got president and the financial crisis of Greek made people more eu-critical. It is good to be critical because it will renew old forms when understood in right way. There is a lot of hope and things are quite well - but we have to keep our eye on it.
