Families gather outside the main school building for Åland Graduation Day 2024 at Åland Lyceum (Ålands Gymnasium) in Mariehamn, Åland Archipelago, Baltic Sea, Finland – this is the day when students leave school for the last time. As part of this Nordic tradition placards are held up with baby pictures of the graduates and the students themselves wear their sailor style graduation hats (studentmössa) and dress in suits (boys) and white dresses (girls).
