Probably yes! 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.  Feeling 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.  While 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.  Check out What’s up in Helsinki during your study visit! \n									Contact Information\n					CONTACT INFORMATIONFor additional information about Educa School Visit and LIFE2025\, please contact:  VisitEDUfinn Ltd.c/o Sofia Helsinki MembersSofiankatu 4 C00170 Helsinki\, FinlandTel. +358 504 128 179Email: info@visitedufinn.com For additional information about Educa event\, please contact Educa website or: MessukeskusMessuaukio 100520 Helsinki\, FinlandTel. +358 40 450 3250Email: customer.service@messukeskus.com \n							\n		\n						\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n							\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n			\n			\n\n				\n					Register now				\n\n							\n\n			\n		\n					\n		\n						\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n								\n				\n										VISITEDUFINN									\n							\n			Want to extend your stay to Finland and visit more schools? 				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n					\n				\n				\n			\n							\n				\n									\n						LIFE2025 THE SHADOWING EXPERIENCE 					\n				\n									\n						Right after Educa in Helsinki you can join LIFE2025 - Lapland International Forum for Education™  in Rovaniemi\, right by the Arctic Circle with good chances of also seeing the Northern Lights.

Probably yes! 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.  Feeling 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.  While 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.  Check out What’s up in Helsinki during your study visit! \n									Contact Information\n					CONTACT INFORMATIONFor additional information about Educa School Visit and LIFE2025\, please contact:  VisitEDUfinn Ltd.c/o Sofia Helsinki MembersSofiankatu 4 C00170 Helsinki\, FinlandTel. +358 504 128 179Email: info@visitedufinn.com For additional information about Educa event\, please contact Educa website or: MessukeskusMessuaukio 100520 Helsinki\, FinlandTel. +358 40 450 3250Email: customer.service@messukeskus.com \n							\n		\n						\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n							\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n			\n			\n\n				\n					Register now				\n\n							\n\n			\n		\n					\n		\n						\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n								\n				\n										VISITEDUFINN									\n							\n			Want to extend your stay to Finland and visit more schools? 				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n					\n				\n				\n			\n							\n				\n									\n						LIFE2025 THE SHADOWING EXPERIENCE 					\n				\n									\n						Right after Educa in Helsinki you can join LIFE2025 - Lapland International Forum for Education™  in Rovaniemi\, right by the Arctic Circle with good chances of also seeing the Northern Lights.
