A Sense of Community and Overall Wellbeing in Learning Environment
The aim of the project is to prevent student exclusion, reduce drop-outs and contribute to a smooth transition to post-graduate employment or further studies. During the project, methods will be developed to
promoting social inclusion and combating poverty and exclusion. Cross-sectoral cooperation
and client-oriented services will strengthen the role of the 3rd sector. The project will be implemented in cooperation with Savo Consortium for Education and the University of Applied Sciences of Humanities. The project will be implemented in the whole of North Savo in close cooperation with the public sector and organisations.
Objectives
The aim of the project is to reduce the number of students dropping out of their studies and to increase the number of graduates and smooth transition of graduates to post-graduate employment or further studies. During the project, methods will be developed to promoting social inclusion and combating poverty and exclusion. Cross-sectoral cooperation and client-oriented services will strengthen the role of the third sector in promoting students’ capacity to work and prevention of exclusion. The project will focus on preventive services and approaches.
Client-oriented interventions will support the empowerment of young people, including through peer support or
self-help activities. The project will make use of new technological solutions, including interactive tools on the website.
This will enable the needs of sparsely populated areas to be taken into account and will contribute to the success of distance learning.
The third sector actors involved in the project will play an important role in designing cross-sectoral cooperation.
The red thread of the project is to strengthen students’ inclusion, resources and capacities, and to prevent
exclusion through cross-sectoral cooperation and to strengthen their progression on employment pathways.
