Workshops about the Finnish Education System & the Curriculum Change
The world in which schools operate has undergone major changes since the beginning of the 2000’s, increasing the impact of globalisation and the challenges for a sustainable future. Even though Finland has been one of the top performing nations in the world (according to PISA, the UN Education Index, UNICEF, etc.), also key competences needed in society and working life have changed rapidly. Therefore, the content of education, pedagogy and school practices needed to be reviewed and renewed in relation to these changes. That is reason why Finland will start implementing a big curriculum change by the start of the new school year. The curriculum in Finland was last renewed 10 years ago and in order to meet the challenges of the future, this time Finland will focus even more on developing schools as learning communities, emphasising the joy of learning, and promoting student autonomy in studying.
During this workshop we will provide you with a wider framework to understand the Finnish education system and the need for a curriculum reform in one of the top performing nations in the world. Together we will have a look into the foundations, the paradoxes and the principles behind the Finnish education system, including the theory of learning, teaching materials, assessment, teacher’s role, special and inclusive education, and last but not least the daily life in a Finnish classroom. Together we will learn first-hand how the Finnish education system operates at all levels and how it assures equality in excellent education outcomes.

The estimated cost for our workshops is starting from 300 euros & VAT (24%)/90min.
