We are happy to announce to you the answers to GloSS Study Trip Quiz! The winner has been contacted to receive its prize ^_^
The participants did quiet well. But one of the most difficult question seemed to be which language is the most common among the Sami people. It was also hard for people to locate Kiruna to the right county. So it seems it's fair to say that students in Gothenburg have a lot more to learn about what is happening in the more "remote" areas of our long-stretched country and about how the Sami people live.
Don't forget to follow us to get info on future activities!
