We are strengthening sustainable development in vocational education in Kenya
We are strengthening sustainable development competencies in vocational education in Kenya.
Together with Jamk University of Applied Sciences we will focus specifically on updating curricula and training teachers from a sustainability perspective. Our aim is to ensure that all young people, regardless of gender or background, have the opportunity to develop green economy skills and succeed in sustainable job markets.
We are updating the curricula that incorporates sustainable development perspectives. We aim to strengthen teachers’ skills to enable the future workforce to address environmental challenges and promote the green transition. Our goal is to support Kenya’s green transition and provide young people with equal opportunities for a sustainable future. We bring our strong expertise in curriculum development and sustainability education to this project.
Our international project experience supports the effective achievement of goals and enables deep collaboration with local and international partners. This in turn helps to foster a sustainable and equitable future. We will also organize trainings and workshops with our partners.
The first joint kick-off event will be held in Hämeenlinna in February 2025. The goal of the visit to Finland is to familiarize participants with Finnish sustainability solutions, both in the education sector and in companies.
