DigiCareVET project partners met in Helsinki, Finland, on 8–9 April 2026 for a project meeting where significant progress was made.

The survey on welfare technology teaching and use is almost finished by the team at Kainuun Ammattiopisto. Final adjustments are being made before publishing and dissemination.

Danish partners from SOSU H presented the first drafts of the Technology Understanding Model and the Didactic Model for Teaching Technology.

Several care sector teachers took part in the meeting and gave useful feedback on the models. They also tested a course planning template. Topics included documenting care activities using digital devices and using distance monitoring.

“These meeting days in Finland have been a good reminder of why this work is important,” said Pia Törnwall, the project coordinator from Live Foundation. “Our survey results show that teachers need support in guiding students through the digital transformation both at school and in the workplace.”

Work continues back home and online. The next project meeting will take place in Leiden, the Netherlands, in September 2026.
