Press release
* 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.
