Finland has a long history of communicating astronomy to the public. Finland also (allegedly!) has the largest number of amateur astronomers per capita in the world. Ursa Astronomical Association, the oldest and largest of its kind in Finland, is currently the most active and versatile it’s ever been.

We must be doing something right! So what have we been doing? And how did I get here?

The speaker has been the press officer and outreach astronomer for Ursa Astronomical Association since 2011. This talk offers some personal musings and insights into communicating astronomy in a small, northern country.
