IiPaja - Workshop
TOWARDS GOALS AND YOUR OWN PATH
The workshop activities are intended for young people and adults who need support to find their own path. The youth workshop activities are aimed at those under 29 years of age.
At the workshop, you can strengthen your own everyday management and functional ability and receive support in finding a path for further study. At the workshop, you can also try out a new professional field, increase your professional competence and strengthen your working life and work community skills. The workshop can serve as an alternative learning environment for completing a degree or part of a degree. The workshop community offers you experiences of inclusion and strengthens your social skills and ability to work in a group.
