Day 1 is focusing on the situation in Finland, and the working language will be Finnish.
Tuesday: 10.00 – 15.35
Day 2 expands to include the rest of Europe, and we will change the working language to English. Highlights of the day include a workshop about hugely successful “Elements of AI” –course with over 370 000 participants in 170 countries (more info: www.elementsofai.com ) and how to do something similar around basic skills. We will also identify the essential basic skills in the 2020´s.
This virtual seminar is modular. You are free to join for the full two days, or for any of the individual sessions according to your interest. We offer a number of keynote presentations and a total of 6 workshops over the two days, plus ample time for networking and discussions. Our aim is to offer you a unique opportunity to learn and to share your experiences and thoughts regarding the many aspects of improving adult basic skills in Europe.
The conference is organised by the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture together with NVL, the Nordic Network for Adult Learning. The programme has been developed by a national network for Basic skills in Finland.
All registered participants will get a link to the event, a password and some instructions a few days before the seminar.
The registration is now closed. If you want to participate you can send a request to johanni.larjanko@bildningsalliansen.fi and provided there is space in the meeting room and we are able to confirm your participation and send you the login details, you may still be able to join. Parts of the programme will be recorded and made available in our youtube channel within a couple of weeks.
