”There are things we take for granted but education should not be one of them nor should the thinking "once a teacher, always a teacher" mold our thinking. Cultures vary so much and so does education in different parts of the world that we need to understand that we actually are members of a global village with the same needs of good education that reaches its goals. I think this course is a very good tool towards that.”

Leena Aho - Teacher

"I consider the topic very interesting, especially for teachers outside of Finland. It is a great opportunity to get introduced to the teaching and learning practices used in this country that has gained the recognition of having the best education in the world through a model that is centred in students well-being instead of performance. I believe that to be remarkable and I can't wait to learn more about it! I found this course to be a good introduction to what is like to be a teacher in Finland. I really like the first part about finding joy in being a teacher, this is something we, as teachers, need to connect with more often."

Karla Soto, Chemistry Teacher from Chile.
