What we do?

Our future-oriented work aims to support every young person to have a sense of meaningfulness in their life. Take a closer look at our work.

Dreams

Our Dreams-programme strengthens youth’s faith in the future and encourages them to take concrete steps towards their dreams. The programme consists of school visits made by known Finnish faces, Dreamsters. They inspire and share their own stories with the students.

Tulevaisuuskoulu

The world is changing more rapidly than ever. Our youth will grow up to face a future that is radically different than the world today. Tulevaisuuskoulu (‘Futures School’) teaches skills and knowledge that help cope with the rapidly changing and uncertain future.

Read Hour

Read Hour campaign challenges whole Finland to read for an hour on UN’s literacy day the 8th September.

Projects

Huuma

Participating youngsters come from different cultural backgrounds. They are also so-called NEET (not in employment, education, or training). At Huuma-project, we encourage them to participate, dream, and cooperate with one another by video and movement.

Sustainable Money Relationship

Money is an emotional subject and therefore it is important to learn to speak about it early in life. The Sustainable Money Relationship project focuses on building a sustainable relationship with money.

Possible Worlds

The project combines futures thinking with roleplaying methods in an unprecedented way.

Play!

The project uses gaming pedagogy to support participation among students in vocational institutions. Play! is a joint project of Youth Academy, Saku and the Children and Youth foundation.
