Welcome to Finland
CCE Finland warmly welcomes educators, researchers, policymakers, and changemakers from around the world to the 13th International Symposium on Creative Education. Set in the heart of Finland—home to one of the world’s most admired education systems—this global gathering offers a unique opportunity to connect, collaborate, and co-create the future of learning.
Experience firsthand the magic of Finnish pedagogy—rooted in trust, equity, and child-centered learning—while enjoying the serene natural landscapes, midnight sun, and the warm spirit of Nordic hospitality. Discover why Finland continues to inspire educators across the globe.
Reimagining learning: AI, Creativity, and the Future of Education
Under the theme “Reimagining Learning: AI, Creativity, and the Future of Education,” this symposium will examine how artificial intelligence can empower—not replace—human potential in classrooms and beyond. As we navigate an era where machines can process data but not emotions, replicate logic but not imagination, the question is not whether AI will shape education—but how we will shape AI through education.
