In the capital of Finland\, you can find the influence of both our neighbors\, Sweden and Russia\, but still the city is unique. It’s a modern metropole with over 650\, 000 inhabitants (1\,5 million in the larger metropolitan area) and yet you are never more than a 10-minute walk from nature. On the same day\, you can pick berries in a forest and go to the Opera. Helsinki is a lively big city that never sleeps\, but so safe that you can see 7-year-old first graders the take the tram to school on their own.  \nFeeling the fresh breeze of the Baltic Sea while wandering around the picturesque streets of this easy-going city\, it is not so difficult to imagine why Finns are the happiest nation in the world. After the walk\, warm yourself up with a cup of coffee and a cinnamon bun. These coffee breaks with friends and colleagues are almost sacred moments to Finns.  \nWhile in Helsinki\, check out the libraries as a social innovation in Finnish education\, interactive museums\, the islands around Helsinki and the sauna. There are many more attractions that promise unforgettable experience in Helsinki such as  Alvar Aalto’s studio\, Helsinki Cathedral by Carl Ludvig Engel\, Senate Square\, Old Market Hall\, Löyly sauna and restaurant\, and much more.  \nCheck out What’s up in Helsinki during your study visit! \n Education in Finland \nEDUCATION IN FINLAND\nDuring our events and courses\, you will get familiar with all the characteristics of Finnish education: \nHow is education in Finland?  \n\nOne of the basic principles is that everyone must have equal access to high-quality education and training.\nEach student has the right to educational support.\nSpecial needs education is generally provided within mainstream education.\nThe Finnish education system is based on the philosophy of inclusion.\nEducational support and guidance covers support for learning according to the individual capacity of the learners\, school attendance\, pupil welfare\, and guidance and counseling.
