Finnish Pedagogy Diploma Programme for K-12 teachers, Qatar, 2019

The Programme was initiated by EduCluster Finland, a company co-owned by Jamk University of Applied Sciences together with two other educational institutions based in Jyväskylä, Finland. The programme was created to strengthen the capabilities of the locally hired teaching staff of Qatar-Finland International School to apply pedagogical approaches and practises widely used in schools in Finland.

Although aimed for a group of 20 teachers, the programme offered methods and tools to develop the school community as a whole, today and tomorrow.

  • Giving the participating teachers a personal experience of learner-centred pedagogy
