Moments That Matter – Inspiration from Finland
Are you a high-school student or a university student interested in technology, creativity, and meaningful connections?
Join this free 90-minute workshop to explore what makes people special, what brings happiness to everyday life, and how technology can help us celebrate human connections.
Using AI as a creative partner, you will create a personalised digital booklet for a friend, family member, mentor, or someone who inspires you. The booklet will highlight shared memories, meaningful experiences, personal strengths, future dreams, and the small moments that make relationships valuable.
Celebrate People, Not Just Technology
Technology is at its best when it helps people connect, appreciate one another, and share meaningful stories. In this workshop, AI becomes a tool for creativity, gratitude, and inspiration rather than simply a tool for efficiency.
The goal is not to create a perfect publication. It is to reflect on the people who inspire us, recognise what makes them unique, and express appreciation in authentic and creative ways.
What Makes a Happy Life?
Finland is often known as the world's happiest country. But happiness is not about being cheerful all the time. It is often built through friendships, trust, meaningful activities, time in nature, learning, and a healthy balance between work, studies, and leisure.
Through stories, discussions, and examples, you will discover how people in Finland find inspiration and wellbeing throughout the year, from winter adventures and cosy indoor hobbies to summer festivals and outdoor activities.
Create Something Meaningful
You will learn how AI can help organise memories, generate ideas, improve storytelling, and support creativity while keeping the human message at the centre.
Your digital booklet may include:
- favourite shared memories and experiences
- ten adjectives that describe why someone is special
- a favourite quote or saying
- a dream activity to do together in the future
- examples of hobbies and interests across the four seasons
- a few fun Finnish words and expressions
- personal reflections, wishes, and sources of inspiration
Discover What Inspires You
The workshop also includes interactive activities where participants explore:
- who inspires them and why
- where they find motivation and creativity
- how meaningful relationships influence their lives
- which activities help them maintain a healthy study-life balance
In this hands-on workshop, you will:
- create a personalised digital booklet for yourself or someone important
- get hands-on experiences with web development with modern tools, frameworks and libraries.
- reflect on meaningful relationships and shared experiences
- discover what contributes to happiness and wellbeing in Finland
- explore hobbies and activities across all four seasons
- learn practical ways to use AI for storytelling and creativity
- identify sources of inspiration in your own life
- learn a few useful and fun Finnish words and expressions
- gain new perspectives on balance, friendship, and personal growth
Just for fun, you'll discover that Finnish is not always as difficult as people think.
