- Supports HundrED in seeking and sharing global educational
innovations
26 January, 2017
Espoo, Finland - Nokia announced today that it has become the
main global sponsor in 2017 for the HundrED project, which seeks
the most inspiring innovations in education and aims to spread them
globally. The project is part of Finland's centenary anniversary
celebrations.
During the first phase of the project, HundrED has already
successfully identified 100 potential educational innovations in
Finland. During 2017 the project focuses on finding 100 exciting
educational practices from around the world. These innovative
practices are already employed in schools.
In autumn 2017, HundrED and its partners will organize ten
seminars on five continents to present to teachers and other
experts from the field of education the greatest innovations and
practices that can be delivered to schools for free. As of today,
more than 300 schools from Finland alone have already joined the
HundrEd project.
"The world of education is full of great innovations and
grassroots best practices which deserve greater attention. We want
to help spread these innovations across the globe. Having a global
brand such as Nokia as the main sponsor is extremely important as
it helps us achieve our goal of helping schools around the world to
change for the better," said Saku Tuominen, Creative Director of
HundrED.
"We are delighted to be part of this inspiring project, creating
a positive impact on society and people's lives through education.
Nokia is known for its innovation, and over the years has invested
significant time and funds into supporting education and research,
both in Finland and globally. Given our global reach and our roots
in Finland, it seems natural for us to support HundrED in
developing the future of global education," said Minna Aila, Vice
President, Corporate Affairs of Nokia.
