"From all that I have seen and learned, I highlight one key idea: learning by doing. It is the main idea around which I intend to implement some changes in our school cluster. The program was very interesting and made me even more aware of the fact that we need to reflect on our educational practices to improve them, developing more and more science and various technologies, working more and more collaboratively, not forgetting that we live in a Europe that needs all of us to live in peace.

The Finnish educational model has a lot of potential, however, we should not make a direct
transposition to Portuguese society, because the differences between the two countries are large and structural. But we can and should reflect on our educational practices, seeking to improve them, especially in terms of implementation of projects and methodologies that promote greater autonomy, involvement and responsibility of students. This will be my humble but important contribution to the strengthening of individual and social awareness and to the building of an increasingly solidary Europe, aware of its importance in the world. To be a teacher is to be an agent of positive change."
