🔥 Workshop introduction: How does our socialization impact our space utilization for learning? 🔥

Have you ever wondered about how you access and utilize space around you to learn?

Our workshop will explore themes such as socialization and space use in education. We want to examine and discuss how socialization can affect how student show up in the education environment and utilize space in different ways.

🔥 Workshop introduction: Teaching intercultural skills and Promoting Multiculturalism in Schools 🔥

As a student, have you ever felt like your culture has not been considered enough, or maybe even rejected in your classroom?

With increasing globalization and migration, some classrooms have become more culturally diverse, but in an increasingly multicultural society others remain homogenous.

In this workshop we will explore how we can expose and familiarize students with other cultures while practicing culturally responsive teaching and developing intercultural skills.

Join us in discussing methods, goals, and practices in promoting multiculturalism and intercultural competency.
But what is the difference between multiculturalism and interculturalism? Come to the workshop to find out! :)

🔥 Workshop Introduction: Future education - shaped by humans or robots?🔥

Digitalisation in recent decades has dramatically changed the way we work, learn, and interact.
Nowadays, we are almost constantly surrounded by technological tools. The impact they have on our daily life is increasing. The Internet is supporting us in staying updated, social media is influencing our opinion, and artificial intelligence is customizing our applications.

Therefore, digitalisation will not stop at education. But to what extent will education be influenced by modern technologies in the future? What roles will teachers have to play in the future? Or will the generation of tomorrow be taught by robots?

Join my workshop, and let's work on these questions together!

🔥 Workshop Introduction: Why don’t they teach this at school? Revisiting home economics in a practical workshop. IN-PERSON.🔥

Come cook and bake with me and let's explore what "revisiting" a home economics lesson brings forth - burning questions, old memories, and new perspectives. Recipes used in this workshop are from my own old 7th grade home economics textbook.

As we prepare food together, we'll discuss how school systems teach us hands-on skills that are meant to be applicable outside of school and academia. Do subjects trying to do this miss something from students' perspective? What makes us so often ask why some practical "real-life" skill is not taught at school? What is the point of a subject like home economics in today's school?

Looking forward to seeing you!
- Elina

P.S. Participants will inform me of food limitations to take into account. I will do my best to accommodate everybody.

🔥 Workshop introduction: How arts can be used to help refugee students integrate into schools? 🔥

One of the burning questions in today's educational settings is how refugee students can be integrated into schools. Through our workshop, we will try to find out how arts can be helpful in this process. This collaborative workshop will provide a platform to use your emotions and thoughts through various forms of arts and find a solution thereafter.

Come join us if you are interested to work on this idea with us!!

🔥Workshop introduction: Value Conflicts in Education🔥

Every one of us has values. The decision we make in any situation is mostly determined by our values. But what happens when different people’s values come in conflict in a specific situation?

In this workshop, we’ll dive into values, why value conflicts happen, how can value conflicts between different stakeholders be resolved. Ready to tackle one of the most hotly debated value conflicts in education?
