University lecturer Anna Öhman from Karlstad University, Sweden, carried out an Erasmus + visit to the Centre for Applied Language Studies at the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ on 24-26 September 2024.

Anna came to CALS to job shadow Petteri Laihonen in his Citizen Science projects. Petteri and Anna have been working together in the Future Challenges in the Nordics project, where they have been conducting Citizen Science projects in schools with 15 year-olds in the Nordic countries. During the visit, they also met the team doing Citizen Science at the Mankola school in Jyväskylä.  A guided tour by Mankola pupils to the school was among the highlights of the visit. They also worked on an article and a book in preparation by the Nordic project.
