Members of the Erasmus+ pedagogical team of the Laboratory of Special Vocational Education (SPE) of Achaia, aiming at further professional development and improvement of its teaching practices, attended a European Training Programme (courses) in the framework of the European Erasmus+ programme in Helsinki, Finland (31/3/24 to 6/4/24). More specifically, the aim of this mobility was the attendance and active participation in the Training Programme of the Europass Teacher Academy entitled: “Learning outside the classroom in Finland”. The participants of the project had the opportunity to learn how to design and implement learning outside the classroom in a meaningful, fun and safe way. They were taught the basic principles and benefits of outdoor learning, as according to research studies, learning outside the classroom offers students a real learning experience, exciting and different for students compared to conventional teaching! Learning outside the classroom also improves student engagement, boosts motivation and enthusiasm and promotes curiosity, creativity and critical thinking. In addition, it offers health and well-being benefits: it increases students’ self-confidence and resilience and promotes students’ social skills, team interaction and good classroom behaviour.

In the near future, the knowledge and experience will be disseminated to all the teachers of our school.
