Calm your mind
Anu Varis, Avartava
Wednesday 10.08.2022 at 18.00-19.00
Mindfulness helps us to identify our own thoughts, feelings, actions, and behaviors and meet those with wisdom and kindness. It strengthens resilience and allows us to be more present and calm.
As we cultivate attitudes of interest and friendliness toward all of our experiences, whether pleasant or unpleasant, we learn skills for keeping our balance through life’s ups and downs, responding skillfully when difficulties arise, engaging with what is most important to us, and opening up to moments of joy, contentment, and gratitude.
This webinar is for you if:
You need more equanimity in your life
You want to learn to be more present
You want to learn how to develop resilience
You want information about the benefits of mindfulness

Learning Ecosystems
Peter Fagerström, Educraftor
Wednesday 09.11.2022 at 18.00-19.00
"The connection between education and the private sector is neither straightforward nor predictable, this makes many public-private-partnerships insufficient and unsustainable. These PPPs are therefore unable to meet the needs of the learners’ and to develop their key competences for the future."
This webinar will concentrate on learning ecosystems. It is necessary to explore, experiment and develop new ways to connect the core elements and processes that support learning, entrepreneurship, innovation and collaboration in the digital era. For this, we need to start working together instead of staying in silos, and to develop new cooperation models between educational institutions, businesses and other key stakeholders. In other words we need to start ecosystem-level collaboration, where value is created by, and distributed to, the different stakeholders in the ecosystem, to address the complex correlations between learning, entrepreneurship, innovation and technology.
Educraftor is a Finnish consultancy focused on processes for building purpose-driven innovation and learning ecosystems. Educraftor has initiated and engaged a very diverse group of stakeholders and partners in both international and national projects.
In this webinar, Peter will present some of Educraftor's case studies to communicate the company's vision and work in relation to learning ecosystems.
The webinar will:
ignite new thinking about public-private partnerships
help you reflect on your role in your local learning ecosystem
offer you valuable insights into education innovation processes
