Safe studying 

We are doing our best at the Institutes to make class rooms as safe as possible. Groups are now smaller and the class rooms are cleaned to very high standards. But also you, as a student, have a role to play in keeping other students safe. All the Institutes have instructions on their web sites. Please read them carefully before you come to the course.  

Our whole staff ensures that studying on our courses is as safe as possible. On our premises, you can either wash your hands or use a hand sanitizer, shared tools are sanitised frequently, and social distancing is taken into account both in the common areas and in classrooms.
 
We have increased the number of online courses significantly, so if face-to-face teaching is not your cup of tea this autumn, you can still take part on a course. Some of the lectures are streamed online. You can find online lectures and courses by choosing Type > Online courses or Online lecture on Search page.
 
It is extremely important that all students take the precautions seriously. You can significantly lower the risk of infection with good hand hygiene and by coughing and sneezing correctly. If you experience any corona symptoms, don’t attend the lessons or even come to the premises. Contact  the local health authorities by phone.
 
If you want more information about how the pandemic affects the institutes, contact the customer service of the institute in question or check their web pages.

Welcome to courses!

It is the aim of the project to create a common understanding for ecosocial education in the everyday life of adult education centres, how it is seen in the daily work as well as to enhance the knowledge of its personnel concerning sustainable development.

The topic is most current, as 62% of the Finns consider the climate change as a real and extremely serious threat, which needs to be prevented without delay and which needs to be tackled with every means (Finnish Energy 2018). Stopping of the climate change is also one of the Agenda 2030 objectives in the UN programme for sustainable development. Agenda 2030 includes 17 global objectives for sustainable development, which are to be reached latest by 2030. Espoo is one of the forerunners in the Agenda 2030 programme.

Knowledge of the ecosocial education enables the personnel a vast perspective of sustainable development. The personnel may better highlight sustainable development, observe it in their own work and course planning. Our work communities build a sustainable future together.
