eLab”Future proof” your educational prototype

Be the change you want to see out there in education and community. Where do we start? we start from where we are, exactly from there. ” The Finnish and Scandinavian education success is taking a success case study and making it available to absolutely everyone.” (Otto Scharmer, MIT) Use Job shadowing concept to grow in the Finnish context your own educational prototype.

Teachers need a whole new repertory of methodology/language/behaviors to help their students be able to make sense as well as to acquire needed inner ways for self-actualisation. Create educational prototyping that would allow students to access the knowledge that would empower them to be lifelong learners,the image as the one learning, as well as live MORE FULLY in a world of wicked problems.Vision is that of citizens able ” to make democratic decisions with respect to humans and more than human rights”. In a world of multiple disruptions and exponential technologies, we support teachers in acquiring beyond horizontal, vertical skills, the development of the self ( UN agenda for Inner Competencies supporting SDGs). This culminating 2 days program is part of a blended and longer term prototyping work of teachers in Oddience2030 project.

The program is Experience Based Learning, Putting Learning Relation in the middle of your educational prototype developed by teams of teachers in Oddience2030 project.

What can you get at the end of the program?

This is an intensive program for teachers, as they iterate on their prototyping in their respective schools and ecological contexts, they now experience “cross-pollination” by immersing in a different context- that of Finnish education. Hosted in the Helsinki area, will include nature walks, as well as exploring ecosystems of learning spaces.

 

1. Allign school development in teaching with SDGs with local values
2. Supporting creativity and critical thinking in a visible way for students and teachers considering the development of self, class environment and local environment
3. Develop and practice new teaching & learning routines that will promote wellbeing and a state of peace of mind

4.Ecosystem supporting the growth of educational prototyping inspiring micro action and following up the impact of that together with the support of peers feedback

 

Program & Curriculum

Transforming learning and schooling as we know to allow actions shaped by the future (thinking) rather than the patterns of the past.

Module 1

Mindset Shift Listening (active and centered), the “silent” Teacher 

Module 2

Awareness, unlearning part of the process of teaching with SDGs

Module 3

Prototyping & accelerator, building up a community of learning (co-learning& co-creating)

Logistics

Place-based learning

Helsinki city area is a place where one can find resilience, re-birth out of the most difficult conditions, challenges & peace co-habits, innovation, permanent movement. Some prototyping fail and some crystallize (develop and become something new alltogher) and all are learning opportunities. The city that feels “like a village” offer the ergonomics (physical, communication and cognitive) for the eLab program of teachers’ prototyping.
