Transformations of Gardens Summit 2025
Published: 30. october 2025
The KKFF Foundation organized the second gathering of early childhood education stakeholders. The aim of the event was to offer participants involved in outdoor education in kindergartens a day of inspiring lectures and space for sharing experiences. Together with teachers, experts, and other partners, the Foundation explored ways to further advance this topic on Wednesday, November 12, 2025.
WHEN
12 November 2025, 9:00 – 15:30
WHERE
KKCG Conference Spaces, KKFF Foundation Premises
At the conference, we met with teachers, experts, partners, and representatives of public administration to share experiences and help them establish new connections. Together, we explored ways to further develop the use of outdoor environments in early childhood education.
Participants were introduced to the Transformations of Gardens programme strategy, which is outlined through 2028. We presented our educational centres, the partner network of kindergartens, and the new web portal A Garden Is Also a Classroom.
Throughout the day, we covered topics including outdoor pedagogy, forest classrooms, and fundraising. Participants learned from inspiring practical examples and expert outputs from several schools. We also presented opportunities for collaboration with universities and their pilot projects.
Finally, we gathered participants’ suggestions for further methodological support and future direction of the Transformations of Gardens programme of the KKFF.
It was a truly inspiring day!
