The Finnish National Agency for Education (EDUFI) organises study days in Finland for teachers of Finnish language and/or culture in universities outside Finland. The aim of the study days is to inform teachers about the latest research in the field and offer practical teaching advice.

Study days will not be organized during 2025.

Due to the Russian invasion of the Ukraine, teachers of Russian and Belarusian universities cannot attend study days in Finland or virtually for the time being.

You can participate in the study days if

  • you teach Finnish language and/or culture in a university outside Finland, or
  • you will start teaching Finnish language and/or culture in a university outside Finland in the next academic year.

During study days, you will have an opportunity

  • to update your knowledge about Finnish language, culture and society
  • to learn about the latest research in Finnish language, culture, society and teaching Finnish as a second language
  • get practical teaching advice
  • network with colleagues working in different countries and universities.

Study days include lectures and workshops in relevant topics. Teachers sometimes also get an opportunity to present good practices used in their own universities.

Study days take place every year in August in different locations in Finland, often linked to a local university.
