Over four weeks in Helsinki and Tallinn, students will examine how technology shapes individuals, institutions, and society. Using Finland and Estonia as case studies, the program explores three interconnected themes: technology and human flourishing, technology and education, and technology and democratic governance. Through these themes, students will explore questions such as: How does technology influence our daily lives, choices, and well-being?

What principles should guide the design of user-centered technologies? How can societies leverage technology to improve education and public services? How should governments regulate emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence? And how can innovation be encouraged while protecting privacy, autonomy, and the public good?
