Superweek 2025
The Super Week at HAMK Häme University of Applied Sciences will take place from 17/11/2025 to 21/11/2025 and has a lot to offer. The event aims to disseminate further innovative pedagogical solutions, design thinking methodologies, and the resources of the Design Factories within RUN-EU to all members. Additionally, the Superweek fosters co-creation in education.
Target group
The Super Week is for all those involved in RUN-EU educational training activities as academic staff or are members of the institutional FAPSA.
Working
The sessions are primarily based on co-creation and collaborative learning principles. Participants will gain concrete tools for further implementation in teaching—this is a valuable opportunity for peer learning.
We will reflect on how to build an inspiring learning environment and explore solutions to the complex challenges students face in studying, learning, and well-being. Throughout the week, we will collaboratively tackle real, study-related challenges presented by students.
We will also focus on teachers’ well-being in relation to teaching, both in theory and practice, through exercises and pedagogical practices during the week.
Furthermore, the Super Week is an excellent opportunity to strengthen European cooperation and get to know each other better. Of course, we are also planning an introduction to Finnish nature and culture.
