Suklaa Education

General information

Oppi is an education event with a difference. It’s a not-for-profit, pop up, accessible learning festival, with an aspiration to travel the world, bringing global brilliance to a diverse audience on a new continent each year.
To build the future of education we believe that we need to challenge traditional events that are just for individual groups and instead bring together EVERYONE who is involved. By having a connected conversation we can make change happen.
Oppi Helsinki Learning Festival (2014) surprised and delighted the audience. There was a genuine festival spirit, there were meaningful conversations, people made stuff, magic happened, friendships were formed. Had they come expecting beer, astronauts and an acrobat swinging a 20kg Kettle Bell with his teeth? Probably not... but that’s what they got. Only at Oppi would there be anecdotes of global thought leaders packed into a smoke sauna together. Only at Oppi would the Minister of State for Education take her speech out of her handbag and rip it up before taking the stage. Only at Oppi would your wooden name medallion be homemade and salt-soaked. At Oppi you don’t need to wonder what young people would think of something, because you could simply turn to them and ask them.
Oppi is a fusion of quirky, fun and geeky - but at its heart it has world class, cutting edge content, meaningful themes and the best minds from across the globe sharing their ideas. Ultimately, it’s a massive and aspirational dream that only works with partnerships, collaboration, willingness and people brave enough to believe this will make a difference.
