It’s been a couple of weeks since Dare to Learn 2018 took place and the time for us to look back to the festivities. The festival was arranged now for the second time around, and this year it hosted 19 speakers, numerous talks, discussions and workshops and attracted around 4000 guests. I had the pleasure to attend the event this year and will now take you back on a tour of the festival venue on the first festival day.

TEKSTI AKSELI HUHTANEN

Puolitoista vuotta sitten olin ison oppimishaasteen edessä. Olin saanut tehtäväkseni koota maailman kiinnostavin oppimistapahtuman sisältö. Tilanne oli ihan otollinen, olinhan Suomessa jossa osaamista aiheeseen pitäisi olla saatavilla. Opettamisen ja kasvatusfilosofian kautta osasin määritellä kasvatuksen, koulutuksen ja opetuksen (tai ainakin keskustella niistä viisaasti). Mutta mitä itse asiassa on oppiminen? Mitkä tekijät siihen vaikuttavat? Miten sitä tuetaan?

It has been more than ten years of keen interest in Finnish educational thought and practice. Since the 2006 sensational PISA success of Finland’s schools hundreds or thousands of educational experts, teachers, public administers and politicians have traveled to Finland to seek for replicable concepts or educational products for sale. With the benchmarking boom came high demand for Finnish-made products in education. What surprised the buyers was that there was and still are only a handful of Finnish educational products available. Is this due to lack of innovation? Perhaps the success is only a coincidence?

TEXT AKSELI HUHTANEN

Learning and education are, for a good reason, a matter of wide public discourse. If you take a look at any major newspaper in any country, there are articles covering education and learning-related issues almost daily. During the past month, two leading Finnish weekly magazines, Suomen Kuvalehti and Image both had front-cover stories on education. These articles are widely discussed on social media. Everybody is interested in learning and education.

When there are a lot of people taking part in a debate, concepts and meanings tend to get a bit mixed. This has also happened with education-related topics, a lot. We misunderstand what other people are talking about, and then get easily provoked. We think there is a disagreement when there is not. We see evidence for our beliefs where none is available. And this makes the discussion very difficult.
