Learning to learn: Creative action as a means to practice failure

Project title

Mokaamalla oppiminen: Luova toiminta keinona harjoitella epäonnistumista

Description of initiative

Creative methods are used to practice failure and address the fear of making mistakes. Internship in an accepting atmosphere strengthens young people's life skills to make the transition to education and employment easier. The project was nationwide implemented.
Tenho was implemented in 2015–2018. Young people without an education or a job took part in the project's art workshops in six different locations in Finland. The Tenho project organized workshops on film, circus and theater. In the workshops, young people became acquainted with themselves, learned to work with other people, set goals for themselves and committed to achieving them.
