KNOT – All Young Participants in the Future
The project untangles the knots of pivotal and expert work phases. It develops guidance and support practices in the expert service system through six work packages.
The work packages, implemented with a dialogical development approach, target key points in the child’s and young person’s educational path, starting from early childhood education and progressing to choices made at the end of secondary school.
Knot – project. Do you know this?
The focus is on mapping the necessary support measures and developing the expertise of professionals, reflecting on the experiences of young people and their guardians.
Why Knot project is important?
The project arises from the question of why a young person is in preparatory education (TUVA). The goal is to understand why a young person seeks or ends up in TUVA: some students’ educational paths are very heterogeneous and discontinuous, why some students do not engage in studies, and who should support them, when, and how.
On the other hand, for some young people, TUVA serves as a support for finding their own path and as an incentive to progress in their studies. Aim to gather information on the effectiveness of expert collaboration and support systems in general education.
In the spring of 2025, Xamk will conduct interviews with young people and parents in preparatory education for a degree in different parts of Finland. This is a significant step in the development of student and parent support as well as in the success of the next project phases.
The aims of the project are
1. Create the basis for the development work by elucidating the work done previously on the topic.
2. Map the experiences of young people and guardians/parents along the adolescent study path.
3. Developing the expertise of experts to strengthen parenthood/guardianship inclusion.
4. Develop the skills of professionals working along the school path to develop cooperation and identify nodes.
5. Piloting operating models for the communal everyday life of expert work.
6. To establish a national model of education to support community development..
