In this episode of Neuroeducation with Angie Dee, we explore the global climate of education and discover what Finland is doing differently to create successful learning environments. Angie discusses how Finland prioritizes student happiness and starts formal schooling at the age of seven. She emphasizes the importance of incorporating children's interests and choices into their learning experiences. Angie also highlights schools in Australia and Bali that focus on developing skills such as resilience, creativity, and environmental stewardship. By putting happiness at the forefront of education, we can transform the learning process and create a positive impact on future generations.
