The Innokas Network is a grassroots level network bringing together Finnish schools and other stakeholders in research-practice partnership to support the learning of 21st century skills.

Within the network, we find ways to make creativity, innovation and technology part of everyday schoolwork. Our thinking is based on the Innovative School model in which the school and its surroundings are seen as a holistic network of learning environments improved with technology. The Innokas Network encourages schools to engage in education development and supports schools by arranging trainings, consulting and events in different parts of Finland.

The network was originally created by a handful of practicing teachers. Today the network comprises over 750 schools all over Finland, and collaboration partners in Finland and abroad.

We share our experiences on global collaboration on the Global Innokas blog.
