Job Shadowing in Finland
Learning from a Nation of Sustainable Education and Digital Innovation
From Digital Gaps to Green Impact
The job-shadowing mobility was carried out from 02.10.2025 to 08.10.2025 (including travel days) in cooperation with Lifelong Learning Institute (LFI) Finland. The activity involved adult education personnel of InnovEdu Nexus Institut e.V., including volunteers engaged in the organisation’s educational activities, who observed institutional practices related to digital transformation, sustainability and inclusive approaches in adult education.
The working programme (03–07 October 2025) included:
classroom observations in adult education settings;
participation in structured workshops;
institutional visits in Helsinki and Espoo;
professional exchange meetings with Finnish adult education practitioners.
The focus of the mobility was on:
integration of digital tools in adult education;
sustainability-oriented teaching approaches;
use of micro-credentials in lifelong learning;
inclusive learning environments.
As a follow-up to the mobility, participating personnel developed 12 Open Educational Resources (OERs) based on the practices observed during the visit. These materials are intended for use in adult education contexts.
The activity was implemented in line with the approved project framework.
