Inclusive and Sustainable Education in Focus: Etibar Mikayilov Leads Seminars in Finland
As part of our commitment to advancing inclusive and sustainable education across Europe, our Project Manager Etibar Mikayilov recently led two impactful seminars in Finland within the framework of an Erasmus+ project. The sessions brought together school leaders, educators, and education experts from various countries to explore best practices in inclusive education and environmental transformation within schools.
The *first seminar, titled *”All Kids Special”, centered around building the capacity of school staff to create inclusive learning environments for children with special educational needs. Participants explored how to design personalized learning programs that accommodate diverse needs, assess student strengths, and implement effective teaching strategies. Emphasis was placed on ensuring accessibility for all learners, adapting the curriculum to individual learning styles, and addressing diversity in terms of language, gender, culture, and learning pace. Educators also examined the importance of fostering positive attitudes among students, using peer teaching methods, and building social interactions that support both academic and emotional development. Through a mix of theoretical insights and practical techniques, the seminar empowered participants to return to their schools with actionable strategies and an inclusive mindset.
The *second seminar, focused on *”Environmental Changes for Sustainable Schools”, offered educators a comprehensive understanding of environmental literacy, sustainability in education, and the application of permaculture principles in school settings. Teachers discussed the causes and consequences of climate change, ecological footprints, and food sovereignty, while learning how to design educational activities and school-wide projects that reflect the values of circular economy and ecological responsibility. Special attention was given to outdoor education, the smart use of urban spaces, and involving students in nature-based learning experiences. The role of teachers as facilitators of environmental consciousness, the integration of families into sustainability education, and the elimination of stereotypes and misconceptions around green practices were also key topics. By the end of the seminar, participants collaboratively designed school-based sustainability projects and created implementation plans to drive environmental change in their own institutions.
These seminars reflect our broader vision of equipping educators with the knowledge and tools they need to make meaningful changes in their schools — both socially and environmentally. We are proud to see our Erasmus+ initiative serve as a platform for professional exchange, innovation, and impactful transformation in education.

While visiting Tallinn, we felt the 1400s in our bones. Tallinn is extremely, extremely fairytale-like with its city walls, gateways, churches, towers, ramparts, historical colourful wooden houses, narrow cobbled streets! Tallinn Old Town is one of the best preserved city.
