Helsinki Walking Tour
Our specially-trained guides highlight sustainability in everyday Finnish life both on an off-the-beaten-track tour of one the city’s regenerating neighbourhoods.
Oodi - Sustainable Library
Helsinki’s newest sustainable and architectural icon is located in the very heart of the city. Apart from its striking design, Oodi is extremely energy efficient. Its energy consumption level is almost zero. Learn about Finnish lifestyle, read magazines, enjoy lunch, work, hang out, see a movie, study, create music, print photos, it all happens in the library.
Kierrätyskeskus
Experience how the Finns handle recycling from waste to regeneration. Visit a recycling centre and one of its recycling stores.
Haltia: Finnish Nature Centre
The city’s sustainable Nature Centre, located close to Nuuksio National Park, is built entirely from wood and heated and cooled with energy derived from the sun and the earth. Learn about its sustainable story on a private guided visit.
Nature Trail Hike at Haltia
A local specialist guide will take the group on a 1-2 hour hike for a deep dive into Finnish nature, including wider trails, and unmarked forest paths. Pupils will learn more about the surrounding environment, the history of the Nuuksio National Park and ever changing cycle of nature, where changes between the seasons can be quite severe. Along the way pupils will see the best viewing points and be introduced to a variety of different nature types.
