My work involves developing curriculum-based learning materials and workshops that promote young people’s participation, social inclusion, and interaction. I primarily work on projects aimed at primary, secondary, upper-secondary, and vocational schools.
I’m especially interested in cultures, sustainable living, media literacy, equality, and educational games. I enjoy working on meaningful topics that help make the world a better place for everyone. Collaborating with different partners and continuously learning something new is both inspiring and motivating!
My on-going projects are:
- Rising Voices (Erasmus+ KA220-YOU) – enhancing opportunities for young women from diverse backgrounds to engage in societal issues.
- Katse eläimeen – producing school visits, art exhibitions, and educational materials to strengthen animal rights–aware media literacy.
- Pakopeli itsenäisyyteen – developing escape games to strengthen independent living skills for young people transitioning from child protection services to independent housing.
- Matkailu- ja ravintola-ala tutuksi – producing engaging learning materials for guidance counsellors and home economics teachers on tourism and restaurant sector.
