Coordinators meeting

Critical thinking, adaptability, and cross-cultural understanding

The Coordinators meeting at the Vaskivuoren Lukio at Vantaa (Finland) was a great opportunity for all partners.
Two days well spent in Intellectual discussions with all stakeholders from diverse countries to enrich students’ skills, broadening perspectives on global challenges and the SDGs.

This exchange fostered critical thinking, adaptability, and cross-cultural understanding, and ways to empowering the students to actively contribute to sustainable solutions.

Instill the importance of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in students

Our partner Ms Andreea Gatman, Act On Learning enlightened all coordinators on the way forward and the impact of coaching circles.
We collaborated to ideas on different strategies to instill the importance of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in students, to foster a deep, shared commitment to creating a sustainable future.

By working together, teachers can integrate SDGs across subjects, making learning relevant and inspiring students to become responsible global citizens.

This collective approach will allow students to grasp complex issues like climate change, inequality, and health, emphasizing their roles in creating positive change. Moreover, the unified message reinforced the values of teamwork, empathy, and responsibility and shaping a generation that is both aware of global challenges and equipped with the skills and mindset to address them effectively.
