Social Club TPM Meeting:
Three days of work in Helsinki, Finland
From 16th to 18th December 2025, the second TPM meeting of the European Social Club project took place in Helsinki. The project aims to reduce cultural distance and discrimination among students through teacher training and the active involvement of young people.
Social Club was created with the aim of creating more inclusive school environments, where cultural differences become opportunities for mutual enrichment rather than barriers.
The project involves several European partners: Rauhankasvatus – The Peace Education Institute (Finlandia), Erasmus Valencia IC, Istrategies, EoC Cyprus e Kautech, who are working together to develop innovative tools and methodologies for the world of education. The first day of work focused on defining the Action Plan, a strategic document for teachers that brings together good practices to be implemented in the classroom to promote
intercultural dialogue and combat all forms of discrimination.
Together with our partners, we then discussed the organisation of the next bootcamp for students, a key training event that will see young people playing an active role in the inclusion process. The day ended with a reading on the theme of anti-racism by our Finnish partner Rauhankasvatus – The Peace Education Institute, which provided valuable food for thought for the entire working group.
On the second day, the focus shifted to the interactive platform that will be made available tostudents. This digital tool will be a fundamental reference point for actively involving youngpeople in the educational process, offering them spaces for participation, sharing and dialogue.
Space was also dedicated to dissemination strategies: how to raise awareness of the project, reach as many schools and educational communities as possible, and disseminate the results and good practices developed. The aim is to create a multiplier effect that will enable Social Club to have a real and lasting impact on the European education system. The meeting in Helsinki proved to be a rich and stimulating opportunity for discussion, allowing us to align our objectives and consolidate our collaboration.
