According to the new orientation of the Ministry of Education and Training, preschool education programs need to focus on comprehensive development for children, including thinking ability, language, creativity and social skills. Applying advanced educational methods from countries with developed education is one of the important solutions to realize this goal.

The conference shared experiences from Finland - a country with the world's leading advanced education system and ranked number 1 in the world's happiest countries for 8 consecutive years. Preschool education in Finland focuses on unleashing children's potential through experiential activities, focusing on children and incorporating art in teaching.

According to experts, Finland is a living proof that preschool education not only creates a solid start for children but also contributes to building a happy and sustainable learning society. This is an important lesson that Vietnam, especially Ha Long City, can apply to improve the quality of education.

Minna Lappalainen, founder of Laulau Learning Finland, introduced and guided the practice of Laulau Songdrawing , a method designed to combine music and painting, encouraging children to develop creative thinking, language skills and emotional skills. The practical experiences not only help teachers improve their professional skills but also inspire them to innovate their teaching approaches.

The conference marked a step forward in promoting international cooperation in preschool education in Ha Long City. This is also one of many activities of Ha Long towards building a learning city - where knowledge is spread and educational innovation is the driving force for sustainable development.
