Taksvärkki / ODW Finland

Operation A Day’s Work Finland (Taksvärkki ry) is a Finnish non-governmental organisation engaged in development cooperation and global education since 1967.

Global Education

ODW Finland produces learning materials and study packages for teachers and educators. We inform about the life of children and young people while seeking to dismantle stereotypes of life in the global South.

Development Cooperation

The objective of ODW Finland’s development cooperation programme is to promote youth rights and the participation of young people in society as well as active citizenship.

The key to a better life is education made possible by literacy.

The Lukuralli Readathon campaign encourages children in Finland to read while promoting understanding of the importance of literacy and education.
