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 both inspiring to be part of such an impactful conversation.

I believe every educator has a story to share—stories that inspire and remind us why we do this work. That’s why I want to start a new storytelling series, where educators will share their meaningful journeys. I warmly invite you to be part of it. In spring 2025, we are launching our first Global MARKED Educator Training Program.

This year, we’re growing our impact through meaningful collaborations and launching our first online Global MARKED Educator Training program, making our research-based programs accessible to educators worldwide. 

The year 2024 has been filled with growth, community, and meaningful connections. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has shared our vision of courage, love, and meaningful change.

The findings suggest, based on theory, that the skills and lessons taught through the MARKED program holistically strengthen young people's social-emotional competence, thereby positively impacting their resilience levels.

We are pleased to announce that in collaboration with the Finnish National Agency for Education (OPH), we are launching a free training program focused on strengthening Psychological Capital and well-being as a part of subject teaching.

We are thrilled to announce that MARKED with Purpose has been selected to the Next in Mind incubator program!

Greetings from Changemaker Summit, Hamburg! We had the honor of presenting our new cooperation with Ashoka Africa. The Global South and Global North has combined the wisdom and knowledge on how to give young people tools to participate and find meaning in life.

This fall, we had the pleasure of collaborating with Turku University of Applied Sciences, during which students had the opportunity to test MARKED's solution and carry out an assignment on how the solution could fit into the everyday life of the university.

Is school a place where social and life skills could be taught to everyone equally? Should they be taught more than they currently are? If yes, how, when, and by whom could they be taught?

We are pleased to announce that Valmentamo is supporting the well-being of young people through the MARKED initiative! What does Anne Karilahti, CEO of Valmentamo, say about joining forces?

A growth mindset believes that a person's true potential cannot be known in advance. Those with this mindset believe that their intelligence, skills, and various abilities can always be developed and expanded through their own effort, practice, and the use of different strategies.
