What is OPPIVA Network?

The OPPIVA network is a joint network of learning pro­fes­sionals in Fin­land’s 35 munici­pa­lities, where we develop teaching, learning, in Finnish schools and early childhood education nationwide. The work deepens the ongoing change, where the core of the ope­rating culture of schools and daycare centres is the pupil’s own way of learning, the quality of learning and equality in education.

Our work benefits all teachers and kin­der­garten teachers, school and daycare centre managers, as well as municipal education and cul­tural pro­fes­sionals who want to be involved in building the future of learning.

In 2025, our network will include cities and munici­pa­lities of Espoo, Heinola, Hel­sinki, Hämeen­linna, Joensuu, Kan­gasala, Kan­gas­niemi, Kau­niainen, Kerava, Kirk­ko­nummi, Kokkola, Kouvola, Kuh­moinen, Kuopio, Lahti, Lap­peen­ranta, Lem­päälä, Lohja, Mikkeli, Mäntsälä, Nokia, Nur­mi­järvi, Orivesi, Oulu, Pirkkala, Pori, Pudas­järvi, Pälkäne, Raahe, Rova­niemi, Sipoo, Sodankylä, Tampere, Turku, Tuusula, Urjala, Uusi­kau­punki, Val­kea­koski, Vantaa, Vesi­lahti and Äänekoski.

New munici­pa­lities are accepted every six months. The chair­manship of the network changes every two years. In 2024–2025, the City of Tampere will chair the meeting.
