@EllueTravel @thisisFINLAND The teaching is happening real-time, it’s well-functioning and pedagogically diverse. Students are motivated and learn according to their goals.The students do have a timetable /schedule, but there is also studying on students’ own time and studies in other learning environments.
@thisisFINLAND A10:#ArcticKnowHow extreme weather phenomena have increased. Palsa mires disappearing as the extreme climate phenomena have increased. The terrain has become more risky and natural conditions have become difficult to predict with the help of traditional knowledge. #TiFChat
@heikkilamark@thisisFINLAND A9:#ArcticKnowHow therefore the distance learning and teaching methods have been developed since 2004 @sogsakk. The Sámi language teaching should be given some potential to expand and develop further. #TiFChat
@thisisFINLAND A9:#ArcticKnowHow Finnish education is based on national criteria - locality is in-written at the school level. In the Sámi Education Institute @sogsakk the Sámi language and culture are part of the teaching. The education is based on the needs of the local livelihoods. #TiFChat
@thisisFINLAND A8:#ArcticKnowHow Public transportation tends to be very limited even in the European part of the Arctic. Therefore the current means of transportation must be secured in remote areas where distances still remain long, despite of the fast telecommunications. #TiFChat
@thisisFINLAND@ArcticCouncil A6: #ArcticKnowHow The mission for Finland should be becoming the leading star among the Arctic states in securing the Arctic well-being, including the people and nature. #TiFChat
@thisisFINLAND A5: Local #ArcticKnowHow and expertice should be emphasized whether it´s located in the South or in the North, does not matter. Arctic competence shoud be in all levels, voices from the North must be heard. #TiFChat
@thisisFINLAND A4: #ArcticKnowHow The Sámi Education Institute carries out practical level collaboration not only in Sápmi, but also with other Arctic indigenous organizations. #TiFChat
@thisisFINLAND A4: #ArcticKnowHow Ordinary people must be given opportunities for people to people co-operation while the states of the Arctic should deepen their co-operation. #TiFChat
@thisisFINLAND A2: There is no-one else than ourselves able to tell about our #ArcticKnowHow. We hope that the Arctic indigenous voice will be heard in the discussion and taken into account in the decision making process. #TiFChat
@thisisFINLAND A1: #ArcticKnowHow is an attitude. Only few people in the region = one has to do it yourself. Even when you are first time on Twitter! 😀 #TiFChat
