This episode is all about Phenomenon based learning. Given Finland’s Phenomenal Education site , Phenomena-based learning and teaching is that “holistic real-world phenomena provide the starting point for learning. The phenomena are studied as complete entities, in their real context, and the information and skills related to them are studied by crossing the boundaries between subjects”.
We are lucky to have Ilona Taimela joining us who is specialised in Phenomenon based learning, design thinking, participatory processes and sustainability.
Ilona has an over 25 years of experience from training teachers in Finland nationwide and now more internationally.
She is the CEO of Helsinki Education Consulting Group. She provides consulting services to cities and schools in implementing the new Finnish National Curriculum with her long experience from being a classroom and subject teacher, a university researcher, to an executive director and an administrator. She is no doubt an engaging, energising and a sought after speaker.
