The document discusses aspirations for future education in Finland and 21st century learning. It outlines seven core skills in Finland's basic education curriculum: thinking and learning, cultural literacy, self-care, multiliteracy, ICT competence, work skills, and participation for sustainability. It also discusses enhancing 21st century learning through recognizing different views, asking new questions, and considering new pedagogical approaches like ubiquitous learning and topic-based learning. Workshops will be held after the seminar to further discuss these issues.

and pointing to different kinds of issues.
