From May 25 to May 29, 2025, a group of 17 teachers, early childhood educators, pedagogical specialists, and daycare managers from Germany participated in an Erasmus+ mobility program in Jyväskylä, Finland.
In Finnish daycare centers and preschools, meal situations play an important role in the social, cultural, and educational development of children.
Finnish as a Second Language (S2) in preschool refers to programs that help children whose mother tongue is not Finnish to learn the Finnish language at an early age.
Eighteen students from the Jane Addams School of Berlin (Germany) spent two weeks in Jyväskylä in the framework of their Erasmus+ occupational field study.
I work as a German teacher, in a Finnish-speaking preschool group in Finland. When I first started working in that group, everything was new. A new education system, a new team, but most of all, the language was new. A language that I couldn’t derive from anything I knew or understood at the beginning.
At Experience Workshop, we are proud to support international collaboration and cultural exchange through programs like Erasmus+. This year, we have the pleasure of welcoming Tamara Traiser, an enthusiastic and dedicated intern from Germany, who joined us in Jyväskylä, Finland, for a unique opportunity in early childhood education.
