Outdoor education in Finland is an integral part of the Finnish education system, and there are several things we can learn from their approach:
- Nature is an essential classroom: Finnish educators believe children learn better in a natural environment. They use nature as a classroom and encourage children to learn by exploring and experiencing the natural world. This is evident from the focus of Le Frehindi tours to Finland where there is a particular focus on learning from nature in nature, be it pristine lakes, dense forests or cascading rivers.
- Physical activity is crucial: Finnish schools emphasise physical activity, and outdoor education is a perfect way to incorporate it. Children participate in activities such as hiking, skiing, and camping, which keep them physically active but also help them develop skills such as teamwork and problem-solving. One of the popular activities with Indian students in Le Frehindi scholastic programs is learning Finnish baseball from students in Finland which is so much fun & forms lifelong friendships.
- Connection with nature: Outdoor education in Finland helps children develop a connection with nature, which fosters a sense of stewardship for the environment. This connection can also have positive impacts on mental health and well-being.
- Multidisciplinary learning: Finnish outdoor education is multidisciplinary, meaning children learn across subject areas. For example, they might learn about the physics of skiing, the biology of the natural world, or the geography of the local area. The visit to the science centre in Helsinki is integral to Le Frehindi’s trips to Finland.
- Integration of technology: Finnish educators also use technology in outdoor education, such as GPS devices to navigate and map hikes or digital cameras to document their experience. In our Job shadowing program developed by Le Frehindi with 4 nations i.e. France, Switzerland, Netherlands & Finland we expose students to corporate life in 6 different corporates like Airbus, Noika & ABN Amro Bank etc.
Overall, we can learn from Finland’s approach o outdoor education that incorporating nature and physical activity into the learning process can have numerous benefits for children’s development and education.
