Finnish  Economic  Success  

   Castells  and  Himanen  (2002),  pointed  out  that  Finland  has  uniquely  created  a  virtuous  circle  out  of  its  informa-on  society  and  welfare  state,  through  the    con-nuous  finance  from  successful  informa-on  society,  whereas  the  state  creates  well-­‐educated  people  in  good  shape  for  the  informa-on  society’s  con-nuous  success  (Sabel  and  Saxenian  (2008),  21)

LbD  =  student-­‐centric  research  and  development  integrated  into  learning  

•  LbD  is  a  system  of  learning  and  human  development  that  mobilizes  and  harnesses  human  crea-ve  talent  en  masse.    It  is  a  learning  system  that  integrates  educa-on  with  research,  development  and  innova-on  opera-ons  (RDI);  consequently,  it  fuels  our  collec-ve  crea-vity.  In  addi-on,  it  provides  each  student  the  tools  to  develop  and  u-lize  his  or  her  crea-ve  talents  fully  in  order  to  generate  a  livelihood  for  him  or  herself  and  to  foster  produc-vity  for  society  as  a  whole

 Learning  by  Developing  –  a  Unique  

Way  to  Study    •  The  working  life  oriented  learning  method  Learning  by  Developing  is  a  

pedagogical  innova-on  developed  by  Laurea.  

•  The  LbD  -­‐projects  are  conducted  in  partnership  with  the  world  of  industry  and  commerce,  which  means  that  authen-c  workplace  issues  are  selected  as  subjects  of  studying.  

•  For  students  LbD  is  a  new  way  to  get  the  competence  needed  in  working  life:  they  grow  from  learners  into  experts  with  excellent  employment  opportuni-es  within  their  specific  fields.
