A second group of teachers, pedagogists and educators went to Bergsviken kindergartens in the Municipality of Piteå, located in the Gulf of Bothnia, 900 km from Stockholm and 100 km from the Arctic Circle.

Job shadowing is a particular type of training in which a person follows and closely observes another person while doing their job.

The educational services of this Municipality manage preschool activities focusing on combining the development of students' skills with participation in outdoor activities (Outdoor Education) and in close collaboration with families. This synergy allows for a high qualitative development of the educational proposal.

The municipal ZeroSEI Services involved in this exchange are the Gramsci and Mazzoni kindergartens; the Marighetto and Marsili kindergartens.

The activity took place as part of the RIEPPS project | Research and innovation of educational practices in child services.
