Koulu (i.e. ‘School’) is a festival for peer-learning in Lapinlahti Helsinki 25th-26th August.

Idea of Koulu
Koulu (i.e. ‘School’) is a festival for peer-learning. What if everyone you knew came to one place to teach something they know well? At once, you might have the chance to learn anything from illustration to arranging block parties, public speaking or reducing your carbon footprint. What would you teach?

Everyone has skills and knowledge that others want to learn. That’s why Demos Helsinki and Helsinki Festival put on Koulu (i.e. ‘School), a carnival of sharing skills and knowledge, on 24–26 August 2012. For one weekend we will take over a derelict mental hospital in Helsinki to learn from each other.

Koulu is organised by Demos Helsinki and Helsinki Festival and supported by Aalto University and Sitra. It’s free for teachers and their friends.
