Finland is widely recognised for its strong tradition of outdoor education, where learning in nature begins at the earliest stages of childhood. Finnish schools regularly use forests, parks and natural surroundings as extended classrooms, nurturing curiosity, environmental awareness, resilience and wellbeing. This approach, rooted in the Nordic idea of outdoor life, proves that meaningful education can happen not only in formal indoor settings but also through direct contact with the world around us.
Our project draws from these Finnish experiences and adapts them to adult learning. Education on the road means learning through movement, observation and exploration in real environments. It combines outdoor activities, digital tools, photography, local history and nature-based tasks. In this project, we transfer these ideas into an international context, designing attractive educational paths for adults and seniors, supporting inclusion, wellbeing and lifelong learning.
PROJECT OBJECTIVE
The aim of the project is to transform adult education in the field of digital and green competences by implementing innovative teaching methods such as micro-credentials and mobile, outdoor learning scenarios. The project promotes lifelong learning, supports educators in developing modern and flexible tools, and strengthens international cooperation and mobility in adult education.
INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP
The project is led by Fundacja FERI from Poland, working together with partners from Poland, North Macedonia and Italy.
This international consortium brings diverse experiences, cultural viewpoints and educational practices. The variety of perspectives ensures a richer, more innovative approach to designing learning pathways and guarantees that the project will be developed with broad European relevance. It also promises an engaging and inspiring journey for all participants.
