12. “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.

26. Tiimiakatemia Thesis by Esa Saarinen
1. 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.
