At the ceremony, Pham Thi Thanh Binh, Vietnamese Ambassador to Finland, shared that this event marked an important step forward in cooperation between the two organizations and educational cooperation between Vietnam and Finland.

“Preschool education is more than just a stage in a child's life. That is the stage that lays the foundation for subsequent learning and development processes of children. The experiences and lessons that children learn in their early years have a profound impact on their long-term intellectual, social, and emotional development. By investing in early childhood education, we will not only nurture individual potential but also contribute to creating a wiser, capable, and compassionate society. I believe we can shape the future of children and society, through creating and sharing the best education for children.” Pham Thi Thanh Binh said.

Laulau’s innovative Song Drawing Method is a standout feature of their educational approach. This multi-sensory activity integrates singing, drawing, movement, and storytelling into a comprehensive and interactive learning process. Children create illustrations based on lively, specially composed songs. The flexibility of the Song Drawing Method supports interdisciplinary learning, offering interactive and inclusive experiences.

The Song Drawing Method encourages children to be creative, concentrate, and communicate, encouraging them to explore, express, and visualize their emotions, thoughts, and observations naturally and vividly.

Laulau’s art-centered educational philosophy has been successfully implemented in preschools not only in Finland but also in the UK, Estonia, and Singapore. FIS Global is pioneering the research and application of Laulau’s methods in Vietnam.

“For many years, I have always been concerned with building bridges between cultures and languages. Because music is a powerful and universal thing, I want to share the Finnish experience and spread the power and joy of music and learning through the arts. Today, we have cooperation in the UK, Estonia, Singapore, and Vietnam through FIS Global. I am looking forward to Vietnam's first experiences with Laulau's methods and interactions with Vietnamese teachers to bring LauLau to Vietnamese children,” Minna Lappalainen, founder of Laulau, said.

“I was always concerned about how children could learn effectively while remaining happy. Finnish education, with its foundation of learning through play and individualized attention, provided the solution. Six months ago, I met Minna and discovered the Laulau learning method at a major educational event in Helsinki. I believe Laulau is an essential addition for FIS and Vietnamese children, especially those facing academic pressures. I hope every child at FIS and within the Vietnamese preschool system will benefit from the advantages that Laulau Learning offers,” Nguyen Dao Ngoc Anh, founder of FIS Global, reflected on the journey of establishing the first school in Vietnam six years ago.
