Arkki is a School of Creative Education for children and youth where pupils learn general innovation skills through architecture. Founded in Finland in 1993, Arkki has organized thousands of courses and workshops for more than 20,000 children in more than 20 countries.

With over 25 years of experience, Arkki’s education program has been certified by the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture as a national extracurricular creative education program, and by the National Agency for Education to export the Finnish education know-how out to the World.

Since 2018, Arkki has come to ASEAN aiming to build a systematic and progressive creative education platform for children and youth from 4 – 19 years old, and to connect children between ASEAN countries with Finland through international camps, projects and exchange programs.

Arkki Education

In its field, Arkki is globally one of a kind: no other institute in the world offers as wide a curriculum in creative architecture education for children and young people. Arkki education is given by teachers who have a degree in architecture, pedagogical skills and are thoroughly trained for the Arkki concept.

Why Architecture?

Since architecture is intrinsically interdisciplinary, requires aesthetics and sympathetic understandings of people – architecture education for children is an exceptional discipline to provide complex projects that foster design thinking and enhance the essential skills needed for the future world of work.

Architecture also offers endless projects that are in themselves very intriguing and exciting for children. In architectural education, children work with 3D structures, try different materials and tools with their own hands and heads, and freely explore and express their creativity.

Architectural education also provides children a chance to take responsibilities and participate in the decision-making process and building of projects that are closely-related, impactful and important in their real life, from envisioning a new item all the way to planning an entire city.
