Mobility2 _Finland
Report on the mobility in Finland
CONTENT, METHODOLOGY AND RESULTS
The second
Transnational Learning Activity focused on “Democracy, Environment and
Economy”.
In this
Mobility we focused a lot on how Economy effects the Environment and how we can
get a Sustainable development according to these things. We visited the local
Power plant and Waste disposal plant to learn about how waste can be good for
Economy and the Environment can be kept clean. We also had the possibility to
learn how to build our own Water Power Plants in practical workshops at school.
Sustainable economy must think about the environment.
Local companies
held presentations about themselves as future workplaces for youths of today.
This may have opened the eyes of some students when it comes to future
jobs.
Our guests had
also the possibility to visit Technobotnia, which is a
centre of modern high-tech know how. There will be possible to find new
technical solutions on all kinds of problems that we have today and these can
help us to work for a sustainable development in all areas.
The seven
transnational groups did a fantastic job on their presentations and came up
with a good summery of the week. The presentations were dived into different
subjects for example one group compared the pros and cons of economic activity
on environment and another group compared national candidates and their
environmental thinking in the upcoming EU-election.

HOW THE ACTIVITY IS LINKED TO NORMAL SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
This Erasmus+
KA2 project “Sustainability for Democracy, Democracy for Sustainability” and
especially the second Transnational Learning Activity focused on “Democracy,
Environment and Economy” is something that fits in very well to our curriculum.
Since Vasa is well known for the energy cluster we work a lot
with energy questions in our school. The workshops and the presentations from
the local companies as well as the visit to Stormossen and Westenergy are included
in the Energy theme week for the ninth grade.
