We would like to hear from you, when
- 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.
