HundrED
The project HundrED is one of the largest projects outlining the future of schools and learning, both in Finland and on a global scale. Together with Finnish schools, the project develops, implements, and studies one hundred Finnish innovations in the field of learning and tests them in practice for one academic year. In addition, the project analyses the world’s best innovations in the education sector and interviews opinion leaders in the sector on all continents. The results obtained are distributed to the whole world – for free.
Our school was selected as one of these 100 innovative schools and we are testing and implementing new ways to learn and teach. Our innovation is:
"School's development as a form of teaching".
