150 events about learning, well-being and pedagogy: Helsinki Education Week 30 October−3 November

Helsinki Education Week is now being held for the fifth time. Some of the events will be held online, while others will be held on-site in different parts of Helsinki. All of the events are free of charge, and there will be events available in Finnish, Swedish and English. 

Head of Education Division Satu Järvenkallas is happy about the high-quality and plentiful programme of the theme week: 

“Our daycare centres, schools and educational institutions are doing wonderful work every day. Helsinki Education Week provides us with an excellent opportunity to share this know-how with others. It’s great that so many of our units will be presenting their operations and best insights. The events held by our cooperation partners and international professionals in the field will beautifully supplement and diversify the offerings of the week. I hereby invite everyone interested in learning and education to attend the events of the week!” 

Well-being, tips for practical work, discussions and co-development 

This year, the central theme of Helsinki Education Week is well-being. Well-being and health are prerequisites for learning. In recognition of this, the events of the week will include presentations on topics such as the well-being of learners, operating methods that promote safety, learning support and practicing emotional skills. 

The theme week will provide plenty of good practical tips and tools for teaching and education work from early childhood education to secondary education. Attendees can look forward to learning about various digital teaching tools and AI-based applications and receiving tips for teacher cooperation, outdoor learning, sparking an interest in reading, environmental education and play-based science education, for example. 

The programme also offers plenty of opportunities for discussion and co-development on topics such as building a sustainable future, managing an inclusive operating culture and flexible learning environments. The theme week will also facilitate cooperation and interaction with international learning experts. 

The programme of the week features events that are sure to interest the guardians of learners as well. The topics of the events aimed at guardians include the well-being of secondary education students, cooperation between home and school, learning difficulties and working together with families with different language and cultural backgrounds.
