Nordic Innovation Series: Educating the Nordic Way

Nordic Education & the Pacific Northwest
Join us for a presentation and panel discussion with Dr. Marjo Kyllönen of the Helsinki Education Division. Dr. Kyllönen is the lead for implementing the Future School concept and its Vision for Education 2030, which aims to make Helsinki the world’s most equitable and effective place to learn. Dr. Kyllönen will share how the Finnish school system nurtures students’ growth and fosters teaching that builds social cohesion.

Following her talk, Fulbright Finland alumna and local elementary school teacher Kitten Vaa will show how she brings Nordic teaching approaches into her everyday classroom, offering practical insights for adapting these ideas in U.S. schools.

The session will conclude with a panel discussion and audience Q&A.
