Finnish Happiness School
Well-being and Pedagogy for International Teachers. We organized a summer school in Helsinki for Chinese teachers, who explored Finnish pedagogical practices, nature-based learning, and strategies for enhancing workplace well-being.
The program combined expert lectures, workshops, and interactive learning environments.
The training demonstrated how Finnish models of learning and well-being can be applied in different educational systems.
International Adventure Leadership Training in Nepal
Together with SUMMIT Adventure Academy, we delivered an international training program for mountain and river expedition guides in the Himalayas. The program combined outdoor learning theories with challenging practical exercises in real mountain and river expeditions.
Participants earned internationally recognized qualifications as well as Humak credits in outdoor leadership studies.
The collaboration demonstrated how Finnish expertise in adventure education can be applied in international contexts and integrated with local top-level skills.

Plain Language Communication in Social and Health Services in North Savo
We participated in developing plain-language communication in social and health services through the Ydinasia project in North Savo. Our focus area was ensuring that the language used in services is understandable for different client groups. The project supported professionals in using clear language, improved client understanding, and enhanced accessibility in everyday interactions.
Project Evaluation Makes Impacts Visible
An external project evaluation helped the Digisiivet 55+ initiative identify its real strengths and demonstrate its tangible societal impact. The evaluation revealed how participant-centered training enhanced digital skills, created a chain reaction of learning and multiplied the project’s effects within participants’ own networks.
At the same time, the evaluation supported the creation of a scalable implementation guide, allowing the model to be adopted by other organizations. High-quality evaluation does more than report results—it helps build the next, even more impactful projects.
Training to Motivate and Engage Members
We have delivered training programs for associations and unions focused on developing member recruitment, increasing participation and renewing reward practices.
An organization’s most valuable asset is its active membership. Our extensive experience in the non-profit sector helps identify what drives people to engage, take action, and stay involved.
Our training combines practical tools, participatory methods and solutions that can be directly applied in everyday organizational life.
Workplace Coaching Strengthened Leadership and Collaboration
We delivered supervisor and team coaching for an organization, focusing on improving communication, leadership practices and shared organizational culture. The coaching combined practical tools, co-creation, and exercises tied directly to everyday work situations.
Participants reported clearer leadership, improved collaboration and a stronger workplace atmosphere.
The coaching was tailored to the organization’s specific needs, and its models remain in permanent use.
