Description
In our presentation we discuss Finnish educational system briefly in general and then focus on certain aspects in the new National Core Curriculum (2016-2017 onwards) that seek to promote innovativeness and prepare today’s youth to the challenges of ever-changing future life. Our examples show how educational innovations can promote reading (Johanna), how educational skills and innovations can be applied to the developmental cooperation and eradication of poverty (Antti), and how student activism may promote project-based learning in terms of student-centered learning module in high school (our son Ohto).
