The aim of the project is to inspire students in secondary education to preserve and protect nature in cities and to think about ways of including nature into city design in a desirable way. During the project the students will study what kinds of green spaces exist in their cities and suggest ways of protecting or improving these. A project week is organised in each partner school and students will gather there to work together on an aspect of the theme.

Coordinator: ROC Nijmegen (The Netherlands)
Project partners: Stadin AO, Da Vinci College (The Netherlands), Luovi (Finland), Hetel (Spain), Uniser (Italy) and Roskilde Technical College (Denmark)
The main objective was to develop an easy to use toolbox BUILD@HOME that enables teachers and students to create or follow education that closely matches the curriculum and learning objectives, learning needs, talents and core qualities of the student. All this in the context of the required international competences and Agenda 2030. The toolbox is designed for every type of education and for every type of student and it can be found through this link https://buildathome.online/.
Project: SOCS, Surveyor’s Opportunities for Collaborative Surveying
Duration of the project: 31.12.2020-31.12.2023
Coordinator: Stadin AO, Helsinki Vocational College
Project partners: Istituto di Istruzione Seconadaria Superiore ”Buontalenti – Cappellini -Orlando”, (Italy), Berufskolleg Cuno2 (Germany), Western Norway University of Applied Sciences in Bergen, Høgskulen på Vestlandet (Norway)
Surveyors’ Opportunities for Collaborative Surveying (acronym SOCS) was a strategic partnership initiative focused on strengthening and sharing of key competencies in surveying and enhancing internationalisation of the sector. The project was based on the idea of collaborative learning in transnational groups prior to and during four workshop weeks, each focusing on chosen surveying theme reflecting working life processes. Themes covered gathering data (for example by drones) and processing the data with different software, such as 3D modelling.
Workshop weeks were a mixture of different learning methods, small transnational group work, discussions, comparisons, building up summaries and presentations, active hands-on surveying work and company visits. Furthermore, work safety issues were included in each workshop according to theme of the week. Participating students built up a five-language surveying glossary in English, Finnish, German, Italian and Norwegian of the key concepts. In all, during the process, 60 surveying students had the possibility to participate in workshops.
Project: To the TOP – Exchange of good Practices
Duration of the project: 1.9.2019-31.3.2022
Coordinator: Stadin AO, Helsinki Vocational College
Project partners: Fjölbrautaskólinn i Breiðholti (Iceland), GRETB (Ireland), Lentiz Onderwijsgrouep (The Netherlands), CFA prioux (France)
During the project, 72 young talented students in Europe tested their competences in five training camps where there was a three days Skills competition simulation. These project weeks were the key for the training and giving the students a chance to test how it feels to work with strict limits, with a time pressure and under constant evaluation. The students were not only competitors but were also asked to work as judges for one another with a similar criteria as in the skills competitions. Students had a chance to reflect the methods used in the tasks not only technically but also from cultural view point.
