Thanks to all the participants and lecturers for this very enriching and fruitful summer school.

We are thinking of organising a similar course next year. Stay tuned!

“Finnish education is famous worldwide, especially thanks to the PISA tests. Thousands of specialists and students have visited the country to witness its educational ‘miracle’. This course proposes to introduce Finnish education and discuss its characteristics. By so doing the course offers a new approach to the success of Finnish education by looking at both myths and realities. The course is taught by specialists from the Department of Teacher Education, and the students will have the opportunity to visit schools and educational institutions. During the course the students will also follow how international and Finnish media discuss education”.

EDISO = Education, Diversities and Social Justice

“I am not moved by any ‘love’ of this sort, and for two reasons: I have never in my life ‘loved’ any people or collective – neither the German people, nor the French, nor the American, nor the working class or anything of that sort. I indeed love ‘only’ my friends and the only kind of love I know of and believe in is the love of persons”.
