Current societal changes put pressure on the values and political ideals underlying the Nordic democratic educational project and its practical realisation. JustED focuses on the crucial question: How do systems, cultures and actors in education facilitate and constrain justice in the context of globalising Nordic welfare states?
The purpose of the project is to generate significant new knowledge on the strengths and weaknesses characterizing the different models of vocational education and training (VET) at higher secondary level in the Nordic countries.
The network wich includes the Nordic countries Sweden, Iceland, Norway and Finland will provide interdisciplinary studies on the impact of school lunches on health and learning conditions among children in a Nordic setting.
The main objective of the proposed four year project (January 2013 - December 2016) "Learning spaces for inclusion and social justice: Success stories from immigrant students and school communities in four Nordic countries" is to draw lessons from success stories of individual immigrant students and whole school communities at different levels that have succeeded in developing learning contexts that are equitable and socially just. In the project, students´ success is defined as social as well as academic success.
The aim of the project is to deepen understanding of the institutionalized fostering of values in Nordic preschools at the theoretical, methodological, and empirical levels.

To NordForsk-finansierede forskningsprojekter deltog for nylig i et større seminar i København om fremtidens kompetencer. Målet med seminaret var at levere indspil til Nordisk Ministerråd om udfordringerne, som ledende personer på uddannelsesområdet i Norden bør arbejde med for at videreudvikle den nordiske dagsorden om fremtidens kompetencer.
