Erasmus+ Job Shadowing in Helsinki – Your week just got even better!
Dear Educator,
We hear you! Your feedback and your needs shape everything we do, and now we have wonderful news for autumn 2026!
Whether you teach in a kindergarten, a primary classroom, or an upper secondary school, this is your chance to step inside one of the world’s most admired education systems.
And now, your week in Helsinki comes with even more to love. Read on to see what is new!
Arrive and explore like a local
Your journey starts as soon as you arrive. On your first day, you will receive a 7-day HSL public transport pass.
With this pass, you can use all trams, buses, the metro, and ferries in Helsinki. You do not need to buy tickets or think about fares. Just get on and enjoy the city on your way to school and on our free time.
A warm welcome at Oodi
On your first Monday evening, you’re invited to something special. We’ll gather at Oodi, Helsinki’s unique Central Library, for a 60-minute welcome session hosted by Jenni, a local primary school teacher.
It’s the perfect way to set the tone for your week. Together, you’ll:
- Tour the building and discover why Oodi is celebrated as one of the world’s finest public spaces
- Talk Finnish education with Jenni, asking the questions that matter most to you
- Check your Erasmus+ documents so everything is in order from day one
- Enjoy coffee and snacks in true Finnish style
- Meet fellow job shadowing teachers and start building connections that often last well beyond the trip
You’ll leave feeling prepared, inspired and right at home.
