About:

The world needs peace and understanding. The most effective way for me to contribute, is to create safer places to learn, feel supported and have fun with others. Having fun with people also maintain mental health in this chaotic world.

I'm a coordinator of international activities in an outdoor youth center. +trainer/consult/facilitator

I live far north in an extremely rural place. The passion towards my work can be measured in the kilometers I travel for work inside my home country.

Heidi Jyrkkä has 11 references for past work as a trainer.

Work experience

I have worked on the field of youth for 15 years. I have mainly worked in the national youth centers in Finland (SNK network), but also some individual organisations and few different municipalities.

For the past years I have worked mainly on helping different organisations to develop and manage their Erasmus+ and ESC projects. This year I'm working 50% as a coordinator for international activities in Metsäkartano Youth Center and the rest of the time I do other projects.

My favorite projects aside from a daily job is to work with team ESC projects. Last year for example I worked as a trainer for five different youth centers on their team ESC on-arrival trainings. I have also worked as an extra support person for team ESC projects when there are many highly vulnerable young people involved in the projects.

Educational pathway

I have graduated as a community educator from HUMAK University of Applied Sciences in 2012. I did my studies with a strong connection to intercultural and international work, project management and youth participation. I also studied outdoor education.

During my studies, and ever since I have as well participated many Erasmus+, CoE, or other training courses about participation, peace education, equality, democracy, outdoor education and environmental education.
