EXPECT – Sustainable voca­tio­nal education and training in Finland

Recently, the fifth peer learning activity of the Erasmus+ project EXPECT took place in Helsinki.

From 13 to 14 June 2022, the EXPECT project partners met at the largest voca­tio­nal school in Finland, StadinAO, which hosts 22,000 students. Each peer learning activity aims to collect examples of good practice in sus­tainable VET in seven European countries (NL, AT, IT, LT, ES, FL, UK). The  EXPECT news­let­ter (see below) includes infor­ma­ti­on on the City of Helsinki’s sus­taina­bi­li­ty strategy, which includes 23 edu­ca­tio­nal acti­vi­ties, Finland’s zero emissions targets, the Finnish education and training system, which is extremely open and acce­s­si­ble to everyone as a key element of lifelong learning, and sus­tainable acti­vi­ties of Finnish students and companies.
