Yrityskylä

Yrityskylä is a Finnish educational innovation. This learning environment is a miniature town where primary school students spend a day as employees, citizens and consumers. We have been present in the Yrityskylä projects for over 10 years, and today we are present in Helsinki, Lappeenranta and Tampere. Our employees have also beed doing active employee volunteer work in Yrityskylä in Helsinki.

Taking sixth grade pupils to forests

We are inviting 6th grade pupils to visit us and learn about forest management around our production plants. The trips are organised in co-operation with the Finnish Forest Association and the 4H organisation in Jämsä, Kouvola, Lappeenranta, Pietarsaari and Rauma.

The aim is to provide pupils with a positive forest experience and increase knowledge of how Finnish forests are used. During the excursions pupils will learn about the commercial and recreational use of forests, wildlife management and wood-based products.
