Course contents

Democratic-participatory leadership is a challenge
for any organization, and the education aims at
creating such an environment by encouraging a
mutually supportive relationships where students are
valued for the unique, creative perspective they
bring. Each study unit requires active commitment,
as peer-learning and self-driven learning activities
are the foundation for deep learning. Studies can be
done on campus or online. Students receive regularly
?triggers? (complex questions), guidance and
resourceful lectures as a pedagogical framework. The
triggers are work and/or civil society related. The
lectures are a blend between theoretical discussions
and Finnish/ Nordic guest lectures. During all
learning activities in this master program there
will be a continuous focus on social, teaching and
cognitive presence. Furthermore, building a sense of
community among learners is essential for developing
common purposes and inquiry in each learning unit.
The purpose of highlighting the learning community
in this master education rely on the assumption that
in order to create the conditions for inquiry and
qualitative interactions (reflective and threaded
discussions) there needs to be a collaborative
starting point.
