Leading Schools for Sustainability
This 5-day job shadowing programme in Helsinki introduces frameworks and practical examples of how educational institutions can lead the green transition and integrate sustainability into their management systems and everyday practices. It provides insights into leading systemic change through successful examples from Finnish vocational education and training (VET). Participants will have the opportunity to learn through job shadowing, peer learning and reflective discussions. The programme accommodates up to 24 participants, with a fee of €400 per person for the five-day programme.
Finland has adopted a progressive, nationwide whole-school approach to sustainability in vocational education and training. This approach is supported by a shared sustainability roadmap for VET, which helps institutions integrate sustainability into their strategies, leadership and everyday operations. The Kartalla – På Kartan sustainability network supports VET institutions in implementing the roadmap by fostering collaboration, commitment and the exchange of good practices.
This job shadowing opportunity is ideal for education professionals working to advance sustainability, particularly school leaders, headteachers and directors seeking fresh perspectives, practical inspiration and new ideas for leading the green transition in their institutions.
Join us to discover how Finnish VET institutions are putting this roadmap into practice and gain inspiration for advancing sustainability in your own organisation.
