TEAM Finland meetings with researchers

Date : 20 November 2024 - 20 November 2024

TEAM Finland hosted a meeting with researchers from several universities in Finland, teacher union representatives, specialists working at schools and stakeholders, e.g., from the Migrate institute, Finland. The researchers came from the University of Jyväskylä, University of Turku, University of Tampere, Häme University of Applied Sciences and Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas, Lithuania on 20th November 2024 in Turku. Dr Tuire Palonen and Dr Päivi Hökkä talked about the TEAMS results and messages for decision-makers and stakeholders, followed by a lively discussion with school staff members during which feedback was given on the reality in the schools, for example regarding language learning and occasional chaos in multi-lingual environments among students, as well as how the situation changed smoothly but suddenly after such a big number of refugee families from Ukraine came to Finland in 2022. Policy briefs written during the project were given to all participants as a takeaway message from the project.
