The week in Helsinki was packed with insights and inspiration. A training course on the Finnish school system gave us an insight into the key aspects of the Finnish education system. Project teaching, interdisciplinary learning, “design thinking” (problem solving), STEAM (STEM teaching with art) and “positive education” play a major role here. We were encouraged by the positive feedback and confirmation of our way of working at the community school, which gave us the impression that we are on the right track as a community school. In exchanges with colleagues from other European countries (France, Hungary, Slovenia, Germany, Poland, Spain), it is clear that we are already working in a forward-looking way with the community school. Inspired and with many new tools and methods in our pockets, we look back with gratitude on this great opportunity for European exchange.
