芬蘭教育出口，已成為芬蘭經濟發展的重要策略之一，過去外國教育學者和老師前進芬蘭教育現場取經，近十年來芬蘭已將教育專業經驗打造成為可以出口的全球性產品。芬蘭相信，每個孩子都應該享有最好的教育以發展自己的未來。基於這樣的理念，芬蘭政府將理想具體行動化動員全國師訓專家和教育界，嘗試將芬蘭國產的教育實踐經驗輸出到世界各地，讓其他地區國家也能利用受益。近幾年，更因應外國市場的需要，透過民間企業投資，將芬蘭從早學幼教到職涯終身學習的核心教育方法和師資，融合國外當地文化，在世界各地設立教育據點。Dibi Academy 就是其中一個很好的例子。2015 年 Dibi Academy 的執行長 Johan Storgård 和 教務長 Mari Salo 開始籌備早學幼教和學前教育的 Dibi Academy ，設點的第一個目標就在中國北京，提供從三個月大到六歲黃金學習期的孩子們一個玩中學的成長環境，在芬蘭早學幼教的薰陶下培養孩子們的軟實力（包括創造力，團隊合作，解決問題等能力） 並協同家長的共學培養孩子們的自信，以應對未來可能面對的競爭激烈，巨大考試壓力的亞洲環境。芬蘭教育要在世界各地生根，上芬蘭教育不用再出國當孤單的小留學生，這樣的未來已不是夢！

DongXiNanPei jatkaa tällä viikolla ‘Yhteys Idän ja Lännen välillä’ -sarjaa.  Sarjaan kutsutaan vieraita jotka yhdistävät idän ja lännen kulttuuria omilla osa-alueillaan.  

Tämä haastattelun vieraana on Ylen ulkomaantoimittajana toiminut Mika Mäkeläinen ja aihe on hänen tänä keväänä julkaisemansa kirja ‘Kimlandia: Silminnäkijänä Pohjois-Korean kulisseissa’.

Ohjelmassa puhutaan englantia.

Mika Mäkeläinen’s footsteps didn’t stop because of the unknown and hidden dangers, instead his reports from conflict zones in the world will not miss one of the world’s most secretive countries, the Democratic Poeple’s Republic of Korea, more commonly known as North Korea.  For decades, the government of North Korea didn’t like people from outside the country going there and finding out what’s going on.  But the changes has come when the new successor Kim Jong-un took the power.  Mika Mäkeläinen, a senior foreign news correspondent in YLE, the Finnish national public broadcasting company, is one of the reporters who has seen Kim Jong-un four times during his trip.  He definitely will not leave out his observations from the ordinary North Korean’s life.  His new book Kimlandia: an eyewitness to the scene in North Korea (temperarily translation from original name - Kimlandia: Silminnäkijänä Pohjois-Korean Kulisseissa, Atena, 2019) has the detail stories what he has seen and experienced as a foreign journalist.  As a country like North Korea had been trying to make nuclear missiles - powerful bombs that can cause devastating damage, how this country operates- it is good to know.
