Katia Al-Kaisi

Katia is passionate about future skills. She believes that to prepare generation Alpha (born 2010-2022) for the future, having a heart and social-emotional skills is what matters. Born to Finnish-Iraqi parents, Katia is bi-lingual and bi-cultural and has had a truly international career in the fields of complex technical ecosystems, platforms and education technology.

The idea of upiopi started to form in Katia’s mind as she worked to find ways which would make Finnish stress-free and wellbeing focused learning styles accessible for children worldwide. She believes that motivation and joy of learning are the keys for learner engagement. In her free-time Katia is an enthusiastic foodie and would love to learn French in order to understand the food culture even better!
