Project cooperation
EduRESCUE cooperates with several other projects and interventions, including:
Youth Compass
Youth Compass is a web-based program for young people in lower secondary school and the beginning of upper secondary school, developed at the Department of Psychology at the University of Jyväskylä. The program provides tools for meeting with one's concerns and challenges. It also helps seek direction in life and practice mindfulness, self compassion, and relationship skills. According to studies, the program relieves stress and depression, increases the stress tolerance associated with school and also supports young people in career planning. The program can be used independently by young people, but also by teachers and special education teachers in the classroom or in small groups. The program can also be used by psychologists, student welfare officers and other health care professionals.
The Youth Compass has a duration of five weeks and includes approximately 130 different exercises. It is free and available for computers, tablets and mobile phones connected to the internet from the website: https://nuortenkompassi.fi.
TOVE
The TOVE project, led by the University of Jyväskylä, studies and develops the emotional agency and interaction skills of teacher educators in digital environments. The aim is to support co-operative design and sharing of information and practices between teachers and students. The project also includes Departments of Teacher Education at the universities of Turku and Helsinki as well as the Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences.
Teacher and Student Stress and Interaction in Classroom: TESSI
The aim of the TESSI-study is to examine the wellbeing and stress of second and third grade teachers and contagion of stress in a classroom, i.e., reciprocal relations between teacher and student stress and well-being. Moreover, we will investigate the quality of teacher-student interactions and students’ motivation, and the development of academic skills during the second and the third school year. The study is led by the Department of Theacer Education at the University of Jyväskylä.
MEHIS
MEHIS is a continuing education project at the University of Jyväskylä. The project aims to put scientific information into practice in order to support the wellbeing of education and learning communities by providing training on four core themes: 1) promoting the wellbeing of children and youth 2) wellbeing-improving teacherhood, 3) supporting collective wellbeing and 4) wellbeing-supporting value work and leadership. The training utilizes researched digital wellbeing programs.
HYPPY!
HYPPY! is a development project of the Faculty of Education and Psychology at the University of Jyväskylä. It is a one-year training for certified psychologists who work or plan to work in education and learning communities. The aim is to develop psychologists' competence in wellbeing work and communal work.
Building a support network for teachers' well-being at work through the KILO model
The aim of the Kilo school's project is to find solutions to reduce the stress experienced by teachers and to create practices that can be used in other schools in Espoo or even at a national level. Teachers' wellbeing at work will be improved by approaching issues that are experienced as exhausting at work through four different approaches: consulting experts, innovating and experimenting new things (I), strengthening existing good practices (L), and receiving guidance and training (O). The project will be carried out in cooperation with developer teachers, occupational psychologists, the University of Jyväskylä, HY+ and the city of Espoo.
