Basic education in the arts
Access to basic education in the arts in Finland’s Swedish-speaking areas varies. By networking, we can ensure equal access to basic education in the arts. We can also help education providers reach a broader target group.

Learning and culture in linguistic pockets
The Swedish-language Education and Culture Unit actively supports daycare centres, schools, and libraries in linguistic pockets (isolated Swedish-speaking areas). We monitor the operational conditions of linguistic pockets, organize further education focusing on library cooperation that supports minority language work, and participate in the linguistic pockets network.
