In frames of the Erasmus+ project “Circular Economy in Wooden Construction” (WOOD in CIRCLE) two intensive learning courses were organized. The first course in March 2022 was hosted by Häme University of Applied Sciences, it took place in Hämeenlinna, Finland. The course was attended by international groups of students and teachers from Lithuania, Latvia, Finland and Italy. The course was additionally supported by the associated partner – Municipality of Padasjoki. Groups of students were given a task to create a plan of reuse of the old Mainiemi sawmill area with a strong emphasis on circular economy principles. The second intensive course in June 2022 was hosted by University of Palermo, it took place in Palermo, Italy. The course complemented the first course and was attended by the same students and teachers. Students worked on life-cycle assessment tasks, they have also visited the company “Gli ingegneri del legno” and the site of low-impact wooden house. Feedback surveys revealed that students and teachers were satisfied/very satisfied with the courses. Students were excited working in the international groups, they gained new competences, awareness about carbon and ecological footprints, sustainable construction in timber, circular economy. All survey participants would recommend the “Wood in Circle” workshop to their fellow students. On the other hand, teachers learned from good practices abroad, improved their knowledge and pedagogical competences in application of innovative student-centered teaching/learning methods, experimented and developed new, innovative learning practices and teaching methods, enhanced their curriculum design skills, gained skills relevant for their current job and professional development, reinforced or extended their professional network and cooperation with partner institutions.
