AKTIIVI Plus was a development program coordinated by the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture to promote open learning environments and active citizenship. It funded 26 projects working in these areas. The results included developing functional open learning models that shared information and allowed continuous lifelong learning. It also created tools and models for organizations to promote active citizenship through open events and network education. Additionally, the program strengthened networking between projects and coordinated communication and sharing of best practices to disseminate information produced by the individual projects.
