A Valuable Experience for Us Teachers | Job shadowing from Bergamo, Italy (Imiberg Liceo Sportivo)
Our journey to Finland has come to an end — an enriching job shadowing experience of observation, exchange, and professional growth.
Welcomed with great warmth by our Finnish colleagues, we had the opportunity to observe lessons, share experiences, and discover innovative teaching methods and approaches. We also visited many sports venues and facilities, gaining insight into how physical education is promoted and valued in Finnish schools.
It was a precious and inspiring experience that not only broadened our horizons but also laid the groundwork for future collaborations and Erasmus+ partnerships. We return home full of enthusiasm, ready to share new ideas and continue building connections that will benefit both our students and our school community.
An Unforgettable Week at Kouvolan Yhteislyseo| Job shadowing from Bologna, Italy
Our week at Kouvolan Yhteislyseo was incredibly beautiful and enriching, both professionally and personally. Our colleagues Mika, Eija, and Vili welcomed us warmly and guided us in discovering their school and Finnish culture. We not only had the opportunity to observe how lessons in English, Spanish, Mathematics, Physics, Psychology, History, Philosophy, and Latin are conducted, but we also explored the surroundings of Kouvola — walking through nearby forests or diving into Lake Käyrälampi after a refreshing sauna, chatting with our hosts and exchanging perspectives on teaching.
Thanks to their suggestions, we also visited the wonderful Sibelius Hall in Lahti and the amazing Suomenlinna Fortress in Helsinki. These were days of deep and rejuvenating immersion in another country, another culture, surrounded by teachers who, like us, live the world of education with passion, dedication, and a true sense of sharing.
Heartfelt thanks for this unforgettable week!
