My tasks include developing curriculum-based learning materials and workshops that increase young people’s participation, social inclusion and interaction. I mainly work in projects targeted to primary, secondary, upper-secondary and vocational schools.
I am especially interested in cultures, sustainable living, equality and educational games. I enjoy working on important issues that make the world better place for us all. It´s inspiring and motivating to work with different partners and keep on learning something new!
My on-going projects are:
- Amengo skoola: raising awareness about Roma culture in schools,
- Yhteinen Agenda: increasing knowledge on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) via video lessons and pedagogical games, and
- Turvaa eläkkeestä: developing a pedagogical game that increases understanding on the Finnish pension system among vocational schools students.
