Teemaviikkoihin

Teemaviikkoihin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun teemaviikko, which translates to "theme week" in English. The illative plural marks movement toward or participation in multiple theme weeks, so the form is used in sentences such as “koulussa osallistutaan teemaviikkoihin” (in school, one participates in theme weeks). The term is commonly found in educational, cultural, and media contexts.

A theme week is a defined period, usually about one week, during which activities, content, and events are planned around a central theme. The aim is to focus attention, foster engagement, and connect different subjects or activities through a shared topic. Common themes include science, literature, environmental awareness, technology, or cultural heritage. The format can vary from lectures, workshops, and exhibitions to hands-on projects, challenges, and discussion sessions. It often includes a published program, resources for participants, and collaborations with external partners.

Contexts and usage: Teemaviikkoihin appears in planning documents, announcements, and program calendars for schools, libraries, museums, cultural organizations, media outlets, and municipal events. In schools, teachers may integrate cross-curricular activities around a theme; in libraries and museums, exhibitions and programs may be organized as a thematic week; media outlets may run a series of articles or programs centered on a theme.

Linguistic note: The word is formed from the stem teema ("theme") and viikko ("week") and follows Finnish compounding and case rules. The related singular form is teemaviikko; plural nominative is teemaviikot, illative plural is teemaviikkoihin.
