Finnish education system has been considered to be of high quality and it is valued around the world. Finnish teachers are treated with great respect, they are highly educated, and have a lot of professional freedom. Finns believe that learning is not just about academic enquiry, but it should be fun and empowering, and offer a good start for life. All children have equal possibilities, and their initiatives and individuality in learning are considered important.
Every national education system has its pros and cons, but learning from others will offer new ideas and working models to improve the assessment and development processes of your own school. When reflecting familiar educational practices in a light of another culture, our eyes may open for completely new questions enabling a two-way learning. Instead of emphasising the inferiority or superiority of different systems, our aim is to enhance understanding through comparisons and offer opportunities for culture sensitive educational cooperation and consulting.
Old Porvoo, with its red-ochre painted riverside warehouses, is one of the most photographed na- tional landscapes in Finland and a steady favorite among travelers. Here you can admire the col- orful wooden houses and stroll the winding cobbled streets – as if in a children’s story book. Kids love Old Porvoo. For them, it’s like opening a a book of fairy-tales and a world of adventure…From visiting the chocolateries to playing in charming little playparks and taking sunny river walks, Old Porvoo fascinates children of all ages.
