Information about the project




On 26th September the Momentum team went to the beautiful town of Kokkola in Finland to deliver a 2020 Education training programme with our partners from Villa Elba.


Education Inspirations was a training course which will brought together participants from 5 different European countries to examine different educational approaches of the countries involved. these countries are:
  • UK
  • Finland
  • Germany
  • Greece
  • Spain




But unlike any other project our team experienced this evolved and ended up with guests from another 9 countries, so in total 14 countries were represented!! These additional countries included:- 

  • Japan
  • Columbia
  • Bolivia
  • India
  • Austria
  • Slovenia
  • Russia
  • Croatia
  • Tanzania

Spanning across 4 continents, this added a real vibrancy and impact to the week.

The course explored what kind of education young people need to prepare them for the challenges of the future .

Also the course promoted the idea of 2020 Education (www.2020education.org) which is a major international program to raise awareness of global issues, make a local impact and teach life skills to the young people.

Participants created action plans to launch their own follow-up projects back home which will be linked and shared via online and other media platforms.

Later the local educational activities will be presented at a transnational youth policy conference. To find out how you or your organisation can get involved in projects like this email us: info@momentumworld.org
