From December 11 to 15, Professors Nadiya Lutsan and Anna Struk from the Faculty of Education at Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University took part in a study visit to Finland within the framework of the Erasmus+ Cooperation Project “mentUwell – Preserving Youth Mental Wellbeing in the Wartime Migration Crisis.”
During the visit, they became acquainted with the Finnish education system and the professional experience of Timea Asztalos, a primary school teacher. The program also included visits to the Moniheli Ry multicultural network and two non-governmental organizations — Kulttuurikeskus Ry and MIELI — which provide mental health support to people in crisis situations. These organizations apply diverse methods and tools to assist children, youth, and adults affected by the war and to promote their social integration.
Such study visits contribute to strengthening collaboration among researchers from different countries and open new prospects for future cooperation.
We sincerely thank our Finnish partners for their warm welcome and productive meetings, and we look forward to developing new ideas and joint initiatives in the future.
