Why do I always forget how beautiful it is in Helsinki this time of the year?! Shining lights, people wearing stylish autumn-winter, big-city-life, fashionable Scandinavians hurrying to work and party.
Unfortunately I saw rhat only for a moment. I worked the whole day at the Parliament of Finland, fasilitating in a meeting of youngsters around the country. Wow, how intelligent they are! Couldn't believe it! Our subjects for discussions were diversity, other cultures, religion at school, and themes around them.
Very good points, ideas and questions. I personally like the idea of changing religious teaching more towards diversity and cultures, so that finally people could learn how to communicate and work with each other at the early age. And that way also start to understand different views and opinions. We had good conversation dealing with themes like religion, culture, habits, sexuality, differences and how to connect all that to school (teachers as well).
Very inspiring trip indeed. A lot to think about and to take with me home. Now moon light and trying to clear my head, too many dizzy thoughts still. How to make this world better and schools more useful? Thinking...
