Students meeting in Oulu

2024 April 14 to April 19

Erasmus+ KA2 project “GrInnED - Green innovation: Make education sustainable!” (Nr. 2022-1-DE02-KA220-VET-000085712). This was an international experience exchange seminar organized by KOULUTUSKUNTAYHTYMÄ OSAO in Oulu.

On the first day, we got to know each other, presented our homework, reviewed the results of a survey on cultural sustainability, and played team-building games outdoors. We ended the day with a "Culture Evening" where we showed our “culture boxes” that we had prepared for the trip and tasted snacks from different countries.

The second day focused on cultural sustainability. In the morning, we had a lecture about the Sámi people and their culture. Then, in groups, we discussed what cultural sustainability is, its future, and how we could influence and promote it. We also made posters on this topic.

On the third day, we presented the posters we made the previous day. After that, we talked in groups about what it means to be European, what values unite us, what European culture is, and how we see its future. We started creating presentations about European culture. The last activity of the day was an orientation game in groups around the city of Oulu.

On the fourth day, we finished making our presentations, presented them, and then started preparing presentations about everything we had done in the project. We presented these to the students of KOULUTUSKUNTAYHTYMÄ OSAO. The seminar ended with a ceremony where we received certificates for participating in the international experience exchange seminar.
