The challenge

In this project, HundrED collaborated with upper secondary institutions in Finland that offer Swedish language vocational education. These institutions are scattered around Finland and have identified the need to support student wellbeing in order to help students develop greater resilience within the classroom environment.

The solution

HundrED and Swedish speaking vocational institutions worked together to identify and test innovations that address the individual needs and requirements of each institution. Another goal was to share best practices and increase collaboration within the vocational institutional network. The team at HundrED facilitated the process of co-creation with innovators and educators to adapt the innovation to the needs of the institutions in their local context.
