The Conference was organised by the Department of Teacher Education, Research Group for Education, Cultures and the Arts (ECA) at the University of Helsinki. The theme of the Conference was Arts and Skills—Source of Well-being. The main areas of discussion under the theme were: arts, skills, education and culture as sources of well-being and creativity in basic- and teacher education; children’s cul- ture, play and informal learning. The theme of the conference promotes the Finnish and European educa- tional theme of arts and culture as a source of well-being. The Art and Cul- ture for Well-being programme has been launched by the Ministry of Educa- tion for 2010–2014. The aim of this programme is to promote well-being and health by means of art and culture and to enhance the inclusion of arts and culture at the individual, community and societal levels. The three priority areas are: 1) culture in promoting social inclusion, capacity building, net- working and participation in daily life and living environments, 2) art and culture as part of social welfare and health promotion, and 3) art and culture in support of well-being and health at work. From the standpoint of individu- als, arts and skills, cultural consumption and cultural pursuits in which people are involved as audience have a positive effect on health. Arts and skills hobbies create a sense of community and help them develop networks that support people in life management. Participants in the conference were edu- cational researchers and practitioners who were active in promoting their ideas in arts education and especially in the teacher educational field. The keynote speakers were Professor David Hargreaves from Roehamp- ton University, London on the topic of musical imagination and children’s well-being; multi-media artist Patries Wichers from the International Yehudi Menuhin Foundation, Arts at School Programme on the topic of “What do Dancing Trees dream of? MUS-E: arts in primary school education”; Direc- tor of Resonaari Music School, Markku Kaikkonen on the topic,“Special Music Education as a Cultural Revolution”, and Professor Lauri Laakso from Jyväskylä University on the topic “Activity and experiences as common elements in arts and sports education”. The theme groups for researchers were: Arts, Skills, Education and Cul- ture –Sources of well-being in basic education and teacher education; Phys- ical education and Dance education as sources of well-being; Creativity, children’s culture and play as sources of well-being, and Aspects of art and ii Heikki Ruismäki & Inkeri Ruokonen (Eds.) media education in developing human well-being. The theme groups were also open forums for discussions among teachers, students and researchers. Discussions about new visions, ideas, thoughts and plans for intercultural arts education about the topic of the conference and the presentations of the theme groups were actively held. In this post-conference book, 17 peer reviewed and accepted presentations are categorised under the three titles according to the combined themes of the conference. In the peer-ratings of the articles we have received assistance from our colleagues from Finland, Estonia and Lithuania: Eeva Anttila (The- atre Academy Helsinki); Ossi Autio (University of Helsinki); Jelena Davi- dova (University of Daugavpils); Maija Fredriksson (University of Oulu); Ulla Härkönen (University of Eastern Finland); Antti Juvonen (University of Eastern Finland); Seija Karppinen (University of Helsinki); Kristi Kiilu (Tal- linn Music Academy); Kimmo Lehtonen (University of Turku); Raili Lehto- lainen ( University of Helsinki); Martina Paatela-Nieminen (University of Eastern Finland); Heimo Nupponen ( University of Turku); Sinikka Rusanen (University of Helsinki); Tiina Selke (Tallinn University); Leida Talts (Uni- versity of Tallinn);Therese Quinn (Art Institute of Chicago); Rytis Urniežius (Šiauliai University), and Susan Young (University of Exeter). We thank them for their valuable comments. We express our gratitude to the revisor, Marlene Broemer for her work correcting articles in English. Thanks also to Liisa Antikainen and especially to amanuensis Kari Perenius for their help in corrections and layout of this book. We hope you will enjoy refreshing and artistic moments with this post-conference book. Editors Heikki Ruismäki and Inkeri Ruokonen So the tree rustles in the evening, when we stand uneasy before our own childish thoughts. Trees have long thoughts, long breathing and restful, just as they have longer lives than ours. They are wiser than we are, as long as we do not listen to them. But when we have learned how to listen to trees, then the bre- vity and the quickness and the childlike hastiness of our thoughts achieve an incomparable joy. Whoever has learned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness.

  • The Integrated School
    40 The Integrated School Day - improving the educational offering of schools in Finland The Integrated School Day - improving the educational offering of schools in Finland 41 The Integrated School Day - improving the educational offering of schools in Finland By Lea Pulkkinen Professor Emerita of Psychology, University of Jyväskylä, Finland ABSTRACT The term Integrated School Day (ISD) refers to a school day in which extracurricular activities and children’s care are organized at the school before and after lessons, and sometimes between lessons. In a three year project, the extracurricular activities consisted of two types of activities for each child as selected by the parents and child: 1) adult-supervised, mostly self-organized recreation and indoor and outdoor activities in the morning before school hours and/or in the afternoon after school hours, and 2) hobby clubs available for children to attend a few times per week to enrich the activities offered in the morning and afternoon. Seven schools with students in grades 1 - 9 (from age 7 to 15) participated in the 3 year ISD project. Activities organized at school significantly reduced the amount of unsupervised time spent by children. They also increased students’ satisfaction with school as estimated by 89% of teachers. In lower grades (from 1 to 4, ages 7 to 10), children who participated in the ISD programme for three years showed lower incidence of internalizing problem behaviours such as anxiety than children in schools where this programme was not available. In middle grades (from 4 to 6, ages 10 to 12), participation in arts and crafts and music was related to children’s higher prosocial behaviour, academic achievement, and working skills such as concentration and persistence.

  • 2015 Awards Dinner Celebrating 35 Years
    2015 Awards Dinner Celebrating 35 Years Welcome A Letter from the Chairman hank you for joining us at the EastWest Institute’s Annual Awards Dinner and celebrating our 35th anniversary. I am delighted to Twelcome the institute’s new CEO and President, Ambassador Cameron Munter. The world today presents a complex array of challenges. From China to Russia, the future of Iran after the nuclear deal and the rise of ISIS, to Afghanistan after the NATO drawdown, seemingly insurmountable issues abound. As a former diplomat who worked at the highest levels in Pakistan, Iraq, Serbia and other critical countries, Cameron is the right person to lead EWI forward into our next chapter. Cameron will initiate fresh approaches to conflict reduction and prevention in the 21st century, where problems are no longer solved by representatives of states alone. Under his leadership, the institute will anticipate issues and address them in unique and innovative ways, drawing on its reputation for independence, building trust, recasting issues and taking action. In recognition of what EWI stands for, we are also honored to present the John Edwin Mroz Global Statesman Award—recognizing an individual who exemplifies trust-building and is a catalyst for change— to Martti Ahtisaari, Former President of Finland, 2008 Nobel Laureate, and an EWI Board Member. President Ahtisaari has dedicated his life to conflict reduction and international mediation in crisis areas, whether as a senior Finnish public servant and President or in an international capacity, often connected to the United Nations. The EastWest Institute is looking forward to making a difference together in the world over the next 35 years.
