“Dialogue is simple. When one speaks, others listen.” -Etienne Collignon

• Voicing - Using your own genuine voice.

• Listen - generously making space for what someone has to say

• Respect - honoring the dignity of another

• Suspending - In order to gain new perspectives, letting go of your belief that you are right.

Tiimiakatemia Thesis by Esa Saarinen1. In the hall of fame of experience-based learning Tiimiakatemia is # 1.

2. Some people speak, Tiimiakatemia acts.

3. Tiimiakatemia brings dreaming back to professional education.

4. Tiimiakatemia calls out to young people to express their sincerity and joy, apparently as the only educational institution in Finland.

5. In the endless fight between stick-disciplinary-narrowmindedness and breaking out from barriers, Tiimiakatemia chooses excitement.

6. The core of Tiimiakatemia is based on the most sustainable and solid foundation of Finnish basic values: robust pragmatism and the spirit of equality.

7. Tiimiakatemia is based on the power of community and the human in-between, but behind it all is an individual who is willing to give out his everything for the cause that matters.
