niilo alhovaara’s Summary

Collaborative skills are in great demand when young people start looking for their first jobs. Creative use of digital tools is an important part of this and the schools must adapt the tuition accordingly. My goal is to provide the students with communicative skills and experience that give them confidence in their further studies and working life.
