Day 3 – Vanta Municipality
Yesterday we had an absolutely revealing and inspiring experience, visiting the Vanta Municipality and be received by the mayor Ritva Viljanen (@ritvaviljanen)She conveyed to us her message of perseverance, constancy and courage when it came to taking on the challenges of today's world and promoting the development of a society. A true leader who, in her own words, decided to "sit" throughout her career of more than 30 years in the places she chose, often among many men dressed in suits.
Particularly interesting was his approach to the general education system, which is based on the premise that people are true "opportunities" in the various human dimensions such as well-being, growth and learning, good living, success, health and leadership.
A developed, orderly municipality with a clear vision for the future. In which officials see themselves as public servants and citizens coexist in a wonderful environment of collaboration and cooperative development.
At Vanta, we were surprised, excited, learned and inspired. Thank you for the warm welcome!

Day 4 – Thank you!
AS A TEAM we learn, discover, create ideas, exchange experiences, emotions and discover what the world has to offer us. These are just some of the postcards from our last days in Finland, A country that welcomed us with open arms to show us how they do it, why they do it and what the results of their most innovative initiatives are..
And as a team, we have something to be thankful for, to celebrate and to think about, in each case and to a greater or lesser extent, getting down to work and trying to apply the models of our “Finish experience” to modify and innovate our realities.
We want to express A huge thank you to the Argentine Embassy in Helsinki, to each and every one of its members, particularly for the emotion and dedication with which they embraced us at all times. Thank you Sergio Baur, thank you Nico and Reeta!
Thank you colleagues from Iniciativa Pollera Pantalon @iniciativapp and thank you to all the people who accompanied us through digital platforms, following step by step each of the adventures of our mission, always expressing their voice of support.
We're back with more initiatives than ever! #WomenWithInitiative
