Innovation Camp Workshop – Dialogue Peer Learning from Finland in Tirana
April 20 -24, 2026
About the activity
Workshop Innovation Camp – Dialogue is an intensive one-week activity that brings together students from the University of Tirana and a group of lecturers and students from VETO, Finland, to share their experience and expertise on dialogue, teamwork and systems thinking. VETO is an innovative online learning-based study program at Tampere University of Applied Sciences, Finland.
This workshop offers a unique opportunity to learn directly from peers whose academic training is based entirely on the skills that will be addressed during the week: dialogue, team learning, and systemic thinking.
Through interactive activities and a shared group project, participants will develop practical skills that are increasingly in demand in both academic and professional environments.
