Helsinki Global Education Partnerships Forum 2026
Education as a foundation for safety, security and resilience
📍 Helsinki Congress Paasitorni, Paasivuorenkatu 5 A, Helsinki, Finland
The Helsinki Global Education Partnerships Forum brings education experts, decision makers and researchers from around the world to Paasitorni. The 2026 forum is built around education as a foundation for safety, security and resilience: media literacy and foundational skills, human security, and crisis preparedness.
3DBear hosts an Ask the Expert session, Preparing for the Worst, Safely: Immersive Learning Spaces for Crisis and Resilience Education. The session covers how Immersive Learning Spaces are used for situations that cannot be rehearsed for real: inter-agency preparedness drills, emergency response, and clinical decision-making under pressure.
The session draws on installations in active daily use in Finland and internationally. We go through what recurs regardless of country or sector, and what is specific to each context, with teacher and student feedback and footage from real training sessions.
The speakers are CEO Jussi Kajala and Sales Director Tatja Kekarainen.
The session is held in English. The exact time will be confirmed when the organiser publishes the programme.
