Nordic Bildung Week
Nordic Bildung Week will replace the national Finnish Sivistysviikko event. Your organisation can take part in Nordic Bildung Week, either as an event organizer or as a participant. If you wish to submit an event for the Nordic Bildung Week, please use this link.
The Finnish Sivistysviikko was first organized in 2022 as part of the Sitra Sivistys+ project. In 2024, Sivistysviikko was celebrated as part of the Finnish Year of Sivistys.
Responsibility for coordinating the event week has rotated annually among participating organizations. The organizing network behind Sivistysviikko has included the KVS Foundation (Kansanvalistusseura Foundation), Fingo, Kansalaisfoorumi (Citizen’s Forum), Study Centre Sivis, Association of Finnish Study Centres, Svenska Folkskolans Vänner, and the Finnish Lifelong Learning Foundation (Vapaa Sivistystyö ry).
