Course hours for the year 2025 can now be applied for

The Citizens’ Forum study center supports the educational activities of its member organizations. In our member organizations, learning takes place through activities such as theater, dance, circus, and education!

Now is the time to plan next year’s courses for associations, as the application period for the annual course hour quota is from November 1st to November 30th, 2024. Applications are submitted via the Skaftuki service. You can update your application throughout November, so it doesn’t all have to be completed at once.

When preparing the annual quota application, it’s essential to know the focus areas of the association’s course activities for 2025. For each course, the following details need to be considered:

• Course name
• What the course aims to teach
• The course schedule
• Number of instructional hours
• Target audience

As part of the annual quota application, it’s also possible to apply for increased course support for courses where at least eight students are retirees or unemployed. You can read more about it here.

Course support can be applied for by Citizens’ Forum member organizations along with their member associations. If your association would like to apply for course support for the first time, you can find more information here.

The education planners at the Citizens’ Forum are happy to help you get started. You can reach us by email at: Skaftuki@kansalaisfoorumi.fi
