Vihreän siirtymän hankkeiden sääntely ja kansalaisten osallistumisoikeudet
No full textEuroopan vihreän siirtymän tavoitteena on saavuttaa hiilineutraali, resurssitehokas ja kilpailukykyinen EU vuoteen 2050 mennessä. EU on perinteisesti painottanut osallistumisoikeuksia ympäristöpolitiikassaan, mutta uusien EU-säädösten myötä lupamenettelyjä on pyritty yksinkertaistamaan ja nopeuttamaan. Suomessa Orpon hallitusohjelma painottaa investointiluvituksen sujuvoittamista ja puhtaan energian investointeja, ja samalla korostetaan kansalaisten osallistumisoikeuksia ja oikeusturvaa. Siirtymän toteutus on kuitenkin herättänyt huolta ympäristönsuojelun tasosta ja osallistumismahdollisuuksien kaventumisesta, kun lupaprosesseja nopeutetaan. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan osallistumisoikeuksien toteutumista ja haasteita EU:n keskeisissä vihreän siirtymän säädöksissä – uusiutuvan energian direktiivissä (RED III) ja kriittisten raaka-aineiden asetuksessa (KRA-asetus) – sekä Suomen kansallisessa vihreään siirtymään kytkeytyvässä sääntelyssä, kuten yhden luukun menettelyssä ja puhtaan siirtymän sijoittamisluvassa. Tarkastelu osoittaa, että osallistumisoikeuksia on uuden sääntelyn myötä heikennetty, vaikka reilu siirtymä vaatisi vahvoja osallistamiskäytäntöjä sekä avointa tiedottamista, sillä hankkeiden hyväksyttävyys ei synny pelkästään nopeasta luvituksesta, vaan luottamuksesta ja aidosta vuorovaikutuksesta. Nykyiset lainsäädäntömuutokset eivät poista osallistamisen mahdollisuutta, mutta tekevät osallistumisesta haavoittuvampaa, kun menettelyt nopeutuvat ja joltain osin osallistumismahdollisuudet heikkenevät. Muutokset eivät ole olleet kaikilta osin suuria, mutta suunta on kohti osallistamisen supistamista ja ympäristöperusoikeuden kaventamista

Sympoiesis of Drama pedagogy, Visuals, Pedagogical Scenography, Stories, Materials, and People
No full textWaking from a dream on a summer day in Greece, I decided to pursue my aspirations, exploring expressive languages and expanding mycommunicative repertoire. Drama pedagogy, storytelling, and theater—encompassing acting, scenography, and directing—became central tomy preschool teaching work. Inspired by Reggio Emilia’s pedagogical philosophy of the “hundred languages” and the environment as the “third educator,” I envisioned a crossroads where drama pedagogy, pedagogical scenography, and visuals could intersect and flourish to create magical teaching worlds. Theaters as Teaching Environments is a sympoiesis of materials, visuals, lighting, sounds, stories, and people, all coexisting within drama pedagogy. It is an innovative research project bridging disciplines and institutions to offer university students and teachers immersive, multisensory, and transdisciplinary experiences. Addressing research gaps, my research examines how environments and materials enhance drama pedagogy, fostering engagement, learning, and expression. Drawing on my filmmaking and photography background, I created visuals for this project, inviting participants into stories rooted in forests, gardens, and seas
All ready for action in inclusive classrooms?:Conceptions of the tiered support framework, professional roles, and collaboration among Finnish pre-service teachers
No full textThe idea of inclusive education became prevalent around the world. To implement inclusive education, some countries adopt a multi-tiered support framework to support children with special educational needs. Although Finland introduced this framework already in 2010, few studies have investigated how pre-service teachers understand its implementation and multi-professional collaboration. This study examined pre-service teachers’ conceptions of the multi-tiered support framework, professional roles, and collaboration in Finland. Data were collected from 139 pre-service teachers using questionnaires. Cluster analysis identified four pre-service teacher profiles: ‘Support knowing-doing gap’, ‘Support positive’, ‘Support negative’, and ‘Three-tiered support negative’, revealing a knowing-doing gap in the implementation of the support framework. Furthermore, the result indicates that some pre-service teachers were more critical of the multi-tiered support framework than of multi-professional collaboration, possibly due to the framework’s relative novelty. This study provides useful insights for developing pre – and in-service teacher education regarding inclusive education
Rievdan:new genre arctic art education building cultural resilience in a time of global change
No full textAbstractRievdan – Muutos, meaning change in Davvi Sámi and Finnish, is an art-based action research (ABAR) project conducted by the University of Lapland in Finland. Beginning in 2025 in Sápmi, the Sámi homeland, it involves collaboration with inhabitants of Vuohčču village in Finland and Kárášjohka town in Norway. The project addresses the challenges of change faced by northern communities due to unilateral policies, environmental exploitation, and the climate crisis. It explores new Arctic ArtEducation (AAE) strategies that strengthen community resilience and participants’ agency. Guided by the ABAR approach and community-based art education theory, Rievdan engages participants in collaborative art and co-research. This article asks: What initial steps and ethical perspectives should guide co-research in culturally pluriversal northern communities? The research data include reflections from the first art workshop, diaries, and visual material. The findings emphasise the need for culturally sensitive and ethical research practices. The key outcomes include involvinglocal people as cultural assistants, prioritising listening, using participants’ languages in all interactions, considering research venues carefully, and respecting the right to decline participation.Keywords: community-based art education, new genre Arctic art education, cultural resilience, art-based action research, research ethicsRievdan – Muutos, meaning change in Davvi Sámi and Finnish, is an art-based action research (ABAR) project conducted by the University of Lapland in Finland.

Reimagining Nature : Bioart from the North
No full textReimagining Nature: Bioart from the North is an exhibition by artist-researchers Satu Miettinen, Heidi Pietarinen, Amna Qureshi, and Melanie Sarantou from the University of Lapland, Finland. Opening on December 4, 2025, at the Embassy of Finland in Windhoek. The exhibition explores innovative intersections of bioart, design, and science inspired by the nature of northern Finland.The artist-researchers behind this exhibition are the founders of the BioARTech Laboratory (est. 2019) at the University of Lapland. They share a deep respect for Arctic nature and its by-products, finding new ways to incorporate organic and biological materials into creative practice. Their works highlight how art can act as a bridge between human and non-human worlds, fostering dialogue and shared authorship across disciplines and species.Featured works include the triptych, which reimagines natural materials through photography and textile art, exploring transformation and collaboration between art and science. The exhibition presents “Kasvio - still life of plants” by Satu Miettinen, a photographic exploration of plants such as rowanberry, swamp puffer, lingonberry, milk thistle* with ordinary flowers like gerbera (African daisy), cloves and chrysanthemum. In the arrangements plants from the north and south mix. Kasvio is about studying the details of plants and flowers from our everyday environment and relaxing while focusing in their details: colors, forms, and the smells that you can imagine. Summer nights with swamp puffer will take you into another world. Additionally, it showcases experiments with a discarded Arctic raw material, “Reindeer Blood” and “Roots Stitching”, transformed into textiles and digital artworks exhibited internationally in Prague, Windhoek, and Antwerp. Here, the textiles take on a new three-dimensional presence, spreading and flowing like a cloak. Together, these works invite audiences to reflect on transformation, materiality, and our ecological kinship in bioart. You are warmly welcome!The exhibition explores innovative intersections of bioart, design, and science, drawing inspiration from the nature of northern Finland. It stands as a tribute to Arctic environments and their natural by‑products. The works demonstrate how art can serve as a bridge between human and non‑human worlds, fostering dialogue and shared authorship across disciplines and species. The exhibition was showcased at the Embassy’s Independence Day reception at the Ambassador´s residence. Take a look at the photos to see how beautifully it was displayed during the celebration
