The theme of this year's Africa Day event is "Building Resilient Education Systems for Increased Access to Inclusive, Lifelong, Quality and Relevant Learning in Africa".
Jamk's development work in Eastern African countries will be discussed in panel discussion and presented also in poster exhibition. In the Africa Day panel, Jamk's principal lecturer Irmeli Maunonen-Eskelinen is sharing her experiences with African partners. The topic of the panel is "Dynamics of African Education systems for the 21st Century in Finland and in Africa".
Irmeli Maunonen-Eskelinen is the project manager of the Theory-Practice Balance in Teacher Education (TEPATE) project. The project, funded by the HEI-ICI program of Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland, focuses on developing the theory-practice balance of teacher education in Mozambique. Maunonen-Eskelinen will also be available at the poster exhibition after the panel to tell more about Jamk's cooperation with, for example, Ethiopian, Mozambican and South African partners in the field of teacher education.
