Greetings from the Nordic Happiness Summit!
Marked Global's Ida Nevalainen was honored to be invited by the Tim Bergling Foundation and Inner Foundation to speak at the worlds first Nordic Happiness Summit, alongside Markus Raivio, leader of Kukunori ry. The summit gathered thought leaders in happiness and well-being, and it was inspiring to be part of such an impactful conversation.
At Marked Global, we are passionate about addressing the mental health challenges facing young adults in the Nordics. Our mission is to empower them by strengthening key skills, attitudes, and a powerful sense of purpose. Through our Marked with Purpose program, we help young people create:
- Connection to self: Recognizing their strengths and developing emotional intelligence, self-compassion, and a growth mindset.
- Connection to others: Building social-emotional skills to understand and manage emotions, fostering empathy, and cultivating healthy relationships.
- Connection to the world: Discovering their unique contributions and understanding how they can make a meaningful impact around them.
We believe that schools are essential places to drive this change. By training educators to deliver our research-based program, we ensure that mental well-being education is accessible to every young person, enabling them not just to cope, but to thrive and discover the inner resources they can use in their lives.
“It was a true honor to be invited by the Tim Bergling Foundation and Inner Foundation to speak at the Nordic Happiness Summit alongside my amazing colleague, Markus Raivio. At Marked, we are deeply committed to strengthening the mental well-being of young people. Together we can empower youth to realize their full potential and make a meaningful impact on the world around them. "
