Club activities in basic education

Before- and after-school activities in the form of clubs are arranged for primary and lower secondary students in Vantaa in connection with the school day.

Introduction

The school's clubs are usually arranged after the school day on the school premises or on nearby premises. Instructors include teachers, youth and sport services employees as well as instructors from organizations and associations. The clubs are free of charge and voluntary for students. Students can participate in the planning and development of their school's club activities through, for example, schools' student associations. Through club activities, students also have the opportunity to learn about various hobbies. More information about clubs is provided by the student's school.
