The message from the panel was clear: at a time when Finland needs bold steps to secure future growth, this proposal, linking high-level expertise directly to industrial and societal impact, could be one of the steps.

On this topic, Arcada hosted a panel discussion with the panellists @Kira Exell-Paakki, director of housing and social services at @Folkhälsan, professor emerita @Anne Soderlund from @Mälardalen University, rector @Mona Forsskåhl and principal lecturer @Tomas Ivan Träskman at Arcada.

⭐ We also had the privilege to hear from Matilda Friberg-Hommas, Matti Ahonen, Juha-Pekka Kulmala, Elisa Kaartinen, Ann Alriksson-Schmidt, Elisabet Rodby-Bousquet, and Pedro Valadão. Expertise and experience from Finland, Sweden, and beyond.

“A seminar that focuses entirely on research about cerebral palsy and living with cerebral palsy is rare in Finland”, says Jeglinsky-Kankainen.

Featuring our principal lecturer and researcher Ira Jeglinsky-Kankainen, whose work highlights collaboration, participation, and family-centred approaches, the programme reflected her focus on functional capacity and empowerment for children and young people with cerebral palsy.
