CECI-GRIFE Seminar Series II
We are delighted to invite you to the CECI-GRIFE Seminar Series II, titled " Growing with the Tide, Innovating Against It: Insights from Finnish Education on How Young People Can Break Through Their Environment and Shape Their Era”.
Drawing on the core principles of Finnish education, this talk explores how our environment shapes who we become—and how individuals can rise beyond those constraints. Moving away from the habitual mindset of merely “adapting to society,” it examines what true resilience and an unwavering spirit really mean.
Grounded in international education practice and entrepreneurial experience, the talk explains that the essence of entrepreneurship lies in taking initiative to change the status quo. It highlights how young people can drive social transformation through small yet intentional actions. The goal is to inspire university students to step out of passive competition, cultivate independent thinking, and actively create the future that belongs to them.
