Sitra, the Finnish Innovation Fund, is an independent public foundation which operates directly under the supervision of the Finnish Parliament. Sitra brought together leading thinkers and practitioners from Finland and the U.S. to consider big design questions in education such as: what is the role of classrooms and schools in addressing climate change or other urgent challenges? What are the limits? The Sitra team includes:

- Irmeli Halinen, Head of Curriculum and Development (retired), Finland
- Jenna Lähdemäki-Pekkinen, Specialist, The Finnish Innovation Fund
