We are incredibly excited to announce that The Teacher’s Village is gearing up for an unforgettable experience as we prepare to head to Finland to participate in SLUSH 2021, one of the world’s most prestigious startup and technology events. This opportunity comes through the invaluable support of the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, facilitated by the AGS Programme. 🌍✈️
Our Journey to SLUSH 2021
SLUSH, which takes place annually in Helsinki, Finland, is more than just an event—it’s a global movement that brings together the brightest minds in technology, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Being part of this dynamic ecosystem provides us with the perfect platform to showcase The Teacher’s Village, network with global leaders, and forge partnerships that will propel our mission to new heights.
For us, this journey isn’t just about attending a conference; it’s about expanding our horizons, learning from global innovators, and bringing back insights that will help us further revolutionize education in Zambia and beyond. We’re heading to Finland with a clear goal: to explore collaborations that can amplify our impact and ensure that educators in our region are empowered with the best tools, resources, and networks.
Anticipating Impactful Collaborations
While in Finland, we have an exciting schedule lined up that goes beyond just attending SLUSH. One of the highlights of our trip will be our participation in a high-profile event organized by our partners at Tespack, as outlined in their recent article here. This event, focuses on strengthening the ties between Finland and Zambia, particularly in the areas of education and sustainable technology.
Together with Tespack and other leading Finnish EdTech companies, including Claned and Soprano, we will be discussing how cutting-edge technologies can be leveraged to enhance education in Zambia, particularly in rural areas. This collaboration holds immense potential for scaling our Solar Smart Media (SSM) systems and other innovative solutions that are central to The Teacher’s Village mission. Our aim is to foster collaborations that can lead to the development of even more impactful tools that will empower teachers and students alike.
Expected Outcomes from Our Participation
We anticipate that our participation at SLUSH 2021 will open doors to new opportunities, partnerships, and insights that will be pivotal in driving our vision forward. Engaging with global innovators will provide us with fresh perspectives on how to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in education, particularly in under-resourced areas.
Moreover, the connections we make at SLUSH and the Finnish Embassy event will allow us to strengthen our partnerships with key stakeholders, both in Zambia and internationally. These collaborations will be instrumental in helping us scale The Teacher’s Village platform, ensuring that it reaches even more educators and students who can benefit from our resources.
We also expect to gain valuable knowledge on emerging trends in educational technology, which will inform the ongoing development of our platform. By staying at the forefront of innovation, we can continue to offer educators the tools they need to deliver quality education, regardless of where they are located.
Looking Forward to a Bright Future
As we prepare for this exciting journey, we are filled with optimism about the future. The Teacher’s Village has always been about creating a community where educators can thrive, and this trip to Finland represents a significant step forward in realizing that vision. We are eager to see what new ideas, collaborations, and opportunities will emerge from this experience, and we are committed to bringing back knowledge that will benefit our entire community.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the AGS Programme for making this trip possible, and to our partners Tespack, Claned, Soprano, and Onyx Connect for their continued support and collaboration.
Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this exciting journey to Finland and continue our mission of empowering educators through innovation and collaboration. Together, we are building a brighter future for education in Zambia and beyond.
