A presentation on deep branding, the Finland's country brand and on how Finland's brand is based on the commons of the Finnish society. Presentation given in a conference by the Nordic council of ministers
Future megatrends surprises or slow changes Demos Helsinki
A presentation held in the Fast fashion, slow fashion seminar on Feb 9th 2011. The presentation describes how De-branding (deep, democratic) process worked in the context of the Country Branding exercise of Finland and how the created Country Brand reflected the current global megatrends.
The document outlines Finland's new primary school curriculum from 2016. It focuses on phenomena, problems, and projects rather than subjects. The core curriculum sets objectives, contents, and subjects inclusively according to national regulations. Local authorities define the curriculum further by grade in collaboration with teachers, experts, students, and pupils. The curriculum aims to develop skills like critical thinking, cultural knowledge, self-care, multi-literacy, ICT skills, work skills, and building a sustainable future. Active learning methods are used, including playing, creating, problem-solving, projects, and outdoor learning. Teaching focuses on participation, peer-learning, and allowing individual learning.
Finnish teacher education focuses on developing teachers' research skills and pedagogical thinking. Student teachers complete practice periods where they teach under supervision and reflect on their lessons individually and in group discussions. The goal is for teachers to be able to both conduct research and apply research findings in their own teaching, making data-driven decisions. Research skills and reflection are emphasized throughout teacher education.
The key principles of Finnish education policy are quality, efficiency, equity and internationalization. Education is free at all levels from pre-primary to higher education. The education system consists of pre-primary education, nine years of compulsory basic education, upper secondary education and higher education. Education policy priorities are outlined in five-year development plans which currently focus on promoting equality, quality and lifelong learning. Legislation governs each level of education and most education is publicly funded through state and local authorities. Evaluation of education focuses on both self-evaluation of schools and national evaluations.
Global Curriculum Presentation Group 1 - Martinez, Steele, MartinShauna Martin
Finland has one of the top-ranked education systems in the world. It focuses on equity, quality, and participation for all students. Teaching is a respected profession. Finland reformed its education system in the 1970s-1990s to be more equitable and skills-focused rather than fact-based. It has high student achievement, graduation rates, and low variation between schools. Standardized testing is limited to the matriculation exam. Teachers undergo rigorous training and are trusted to design classroom assessments without high-stakes testing.
- Education in Finland is overseen by the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Finnish National Board of Education (FNBE), which develops educational aims, content, and methods for primary, secondary, and adult education. Local authorities (municipalities) administer education.
- The FNBE is responsible for developing early childhood education through adult education and training. It draws up National Core Curricula that determine core objectives and guidelines for teaching, while education providers prepare local curricula.
- The current curriculum reform aims to rethink learning based on students' experiences and activities, working together, and seeing schools as learning communities in dialogue with their surrounding communities.
The document discusses Finland's approach to early childhood education, called Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC). ECEC focuses on providing children with a strong educational foundation early on through interventions and a high quality learning experience. Finland avoids standardized testing until age 16 and sees the first six years of school as a time for children to explore their passions rather than focus on academics. Finland's system emphasizes teacher training and professional development, seeing educators as highly skilled professionals. The program has led to Finnish students scoring highly on international assessments like PISA.
Finland is known for its dense forests, over 180,000 islands along its coastline, and as the home of Santa Claus. Key facts about Finland include its capital and largest city is Helsinki, its currency is the euro, and its landscape features over 180,000 islands along its coast in the Baltic Sea. Traditional Finnish foods include berries like blueberries and lingonberries, breads, and ice creams made with unique flavors like lemon and chili.

Massive Sustainable Learning SDGs for 2016 Global Education Conference richar...Chrysalis Campaign, Inc.
Massive, Self-Sustainable Collaborative Learning. The unabridged version of UN HQ session on Education and Sustainable Development Goals SDGs presented 2/2016.
Full Session Description (as long as you would like):
This is an expanded version of the SDG and Education session presented at Sustainable Development Goals SDGs in the UN HQ. The unabridged version includes many of the issues, and heated complaints, brought in discussions after the session. Many of the issues focused around the sanitization of culture out of curriculum when culture is a driving force to learn and build communities.
The session provides a series of cases on how massive global collaborative learning events impact the work both in global reach (breadth) and (depth) in transformation perception and technology.
The session also covers massive cultural learning transformations in relation to poverty and self-perception. The US is used as a case of a poor colonial nation and becuase of learning events evoluted into a massive inventive force. In addition how massive learning events such as the Novel and Microsoft certification programs people entrenched markets, such as IBM’s computer monopoly.
These global learning events, such as Microsoft Cloud cell phone banking, create grounds for massive shifts in both how and what we learn.
This is relevant for a global educators to grasp because key student motivators are latent within the classroom on massive shifts.
UN SDGs is also a great framework for a student on becoming global social citizens.

James van Leeuwen, Director of i-CANADA West, gave a presentation on building community broadband networks in Canada. He discussed how smaller communities in the US are building their own fiber networks out of necessity, since private telecom companies do not find it profitable to service rural areas. For smaller Canadian communities to thrive in the digital economy, they will need to take initiative like these US communities. Mr. van Leeuwen advocated for building a nationwide fellowship to include First Nations communities and ensure all Canadians have access to world-class broadband infrastructure.

The document discusses how the future of work will change significantly due to emerging technologies and demographic trends. It argues that the existing economic paradigm focused on efficiency, competition, and shareholders is showing cracks and a new paradigm emphasizing social responsibility, collaboration, and well-being is needed. This paradigm shift will require workers to develop new skills like generalism and multitalents over specialization alone and prioritize meaningful work and happiness over just money. Major changes to how organizations operate and what skills are valued will be necessary for this transition to a new paradigm to occur.
The one year anniversary forum of Social Enterprise Weekly titled "The Imagination of 500 Seeds for the World" discussed whether society can allow everyone to dream.

Tired of hearing "Millennials have been decoded, debunked, everything you need to hear" then "everything you've heard is wrong"... This isn't that at all. See why we think this generation deserves more than a few statistics and bold claims to tell their story. There’s a lot contradictory info on this generation, but that’s because they’re full of contradictions themselves.
The document discusses the concept of urban resilience from the perspective of Irma Wilson.
Urban resilience is defined as the ability of a city to adapt to sudden or gradual changes in circumstances from structural, systemic, and cultural standpoints. It involves promoting resilience in areas like food, water, energy, transportation, communication, production, and education.
Irma Wilson argues that we must promote urban resilience not just in cities but also in rural and semi-urban areas. Beyond just promoting resilience, we should build experiential spaces to transition to a thriving world. The most adaptive cities and systems will survive, not just the strongest. Applying resilience involves retrofitting existing cities, redefining land use

The document discusses learning clusters and how they can adapt to changing environments. It emphasizes that clusters must learn to evolve with external changes and shifting customer expectations. Clusters can learn from each other through open collaboration and sharing knowledge. However, building trust is difficult and collaboration only makes sense when necessary. The document suggests that clusters must look beyond the present to anticipate challenges and ride emerging waves of change. It stresses that challenging cognitive biases is important for clusters to consider new perspectives and be open to doing things differently to drive innovative growth.

The Next Era: a new Nordic Societal Vision for Well-Being Demos Helsinki
This document discusses the challenges and opportunities of technological change and globalization. It argues that while past eras saw improved living standards and equality through public investments in infrastructure, education, and welfare systems, new challenges have emerged. These include an aging population, technological unemployment, environmental issues, and questions about whether current democratic systems can adequately address structural economic changes. It proposes that Nordic societies exemplify principles of social justice, equality and inclusiveness that could inform a "Next Era" vision focused on an inclusive circular economy, progressive democratic institutions, and improving skills.
This document discusses scenarios for a hyperconnected society in 2040. It notes that new technologies will emerge that combine the physical and digital realms, with the two worlds colliding and exchanging qualities such that the digital will become physical and vice versa. It identifies five key tensions that will arise in a hyperconnected planet relating to issues like well-being vs planetary boundaries. The document advocates for using scenarios to help reveal possible futures and help decision-making by demonstrating how future events may be linked. Scenarios can help identify opportunities that enable a good life within planetary boundaries and help organizations make informed decisions.
Bees and Trees - a novel way for large companies and startups to co-create su...Demos Helsinki
1) The document discusses a partnership model called "Bees & Trees" that facilitates business experiments between startups ("Bees") and large traditional companies ("Trees") to co-create sustainable innovations.
2) Through facilitated meetings and innovation camps, four pilot business experiments were conducted between 2016-2017, including one between the startup ResQ Club and large food company S Group to fight food waste.
3) Lessons learned from the experiments showed potential for impact but also challenges from different priorities and timelines between large companies and startups. Facilitation was found crucial for setting targets and timelines. The document provides a manual for replicating the Bees & Trees collaboration model.

Nextera global: from transformation to just societyDemos Helsinki
NextEra is a global initiative to track, connect, and amplify emerging ideas for an open and forward-looking society. As everyone is speaking about the transformation, we need to create a vision for what next. There is a need to identify, conceptualise and scale social innovations and experiments fast (as the technology and business innovations are changing the world).
Vision is a narrative for that links initiatives.
This intro by Demos Helsinki founders Roope Mokka and Aleksi Neuvonen was held in NextEra workshop 'A New Vision for Democracy?" in London on March 29th 2017.
This document discusses evidence-based policy and some of the challenges involved. It notes that while randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are considered the gold standard for evidence, politics is also influenced by other factors like public opinion and consensus. Politicians must make decisions quickly without full understanding and evidence can be against their values. The document also discusses how evidence is interpreted through ideological lenses and that context is important for determining what works. It advocates for an experimental approach to governance through limited testing of policies rather than trying to fully implement evidence.

The document discusses how sharing economies are changing cities. It notes that sharing economies allow people to share excess capacity through digital platforms, lowering transaction costs. This can create possibilities for cities like wider participation and stronger local economies, but also threats like global monopolies controlling services. The document argues that cities need to focus on people rather than technology, promote platforms governed by users, understand value is created through use rather than production, recognize models already exist in cities, and make the city itself a platform governed by its residents.
