You are planning to incorporating 'education' into your Team Finland plans (the sooner, the better).
You wish to co-coordinate an educational delegation trip with Education Finland*:
Before discussing with potential local partners or Finnish VIPs, contact us. Early involvement ensures better support.
Our participation hinges on our members' interest. We need a minimum member interest to proceed. Collaborate with us to boost interest; the more details we can provide our members, the higher the likelihood of delegation success.
Delegation program varies, it can include a “Finnish Education Forum” that high lights the expertise of the participating member organizations and companies OR it can link to a major education event (e.g. expo).
You have a high-level entity, who is going to visit Finland and is interested in education.
* NOTE we also work together with TF and BF; our own delegation efforts concentrate on serving our member organisations directly.

Teachers in Finland are highly educated and respected professionals. Teaching is a popular profession and universities can select the most motivated and talented applicants. What makes Finnish teacher education stand out?
Finland has a proven track-record as the home of world-class education. The Finnish school system has been built on the egalitarian principle of good quality universal education, which is inclusive and comprehensive. In fact, the learning gap of the weakest and the strongest pupils in Finnish schools is one of the narrowest in the world.
