Children
Nordic Metalearning is established as a preventive and combative effort to address dissatisfaction among children and young people. It is crucial to prevent unhappiness in children, as it can have long-term and negative consequences for their physical, mental, and social development. By focusing on prevention, we can reduce the potentially long-term effects of unhappiness, while helping to create a healthier and more positive future for children and young people.
Meta-learning has proven to be a highly effective approach to combating dissatisfaction. Through meta-learning, children and young people develop valuable skills to understand and cope with challenges and stress in their lives. This approach has been shown to have a positive impact on mental well-being and can help reduce feelings of uncertainty and frustration. Therefore, meta-learning is a valuable resource for combating dissatisfaction.
At Nordic Metalearning, meta-learning is not just methods, but an educational journey toward personal growth and well-being. When we develop our mental skills, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our surroundings, which ultimately leads to a richer and more fulfilling life. This method of learning constitutes essential resources that benefit individuals and society as a whole.

-
Prevent dissatisfaction:
Meta-learning can act as a preventive measure against dissatisfaction. By understanding and developing our own mental processes and emotions, we become better able to handle challenges and stress before they escalate into serious problems. -
Combat unhappiness:
Meta-learning gives us tools to tackle dissatisfaction, anxiety, depression, etc. It allows us to identify and work with the underlying causes of our negative emotions, which can help us break out of destructive cycles and create more positive well-being. -
Psychological security
Through meta-learning, individuals develop a better understanding of their own thought processes and learning patterns, resulting in greater confidence and calm in dealing with challenges and uncertainties. It strengthens mental well-being and increases the overall feeling of security and self-esteem. -
Strengthen mental health:
Through meta-learning, we can train our minds to be more robust and flexible. We learn about positive thoughts, compassion, and self-acceptance, which contributes to stronger mental health and increased life satisfaction. -
Competences for the future:
In an increasingly complex and unpredictable world, meta-learning is a crucial component in developing skills for the future. The ability to understand and manage our own emotions and to work with others is important for thriving in the workplace and in society as a whole.
Teachers and Pedagogues
At Nordisk Metalearning, we believe that teachers and educators together constitute some of society’s most valuable functions. They play a crucial role in educating, guiding, and supporting our future generations, which is crucial for society’s future and development.
The educational work of teachers and pedagogues is of vital importance as they spend so much valuable time with children in their early years. It is during this period that fundamental skills and knowledge are formed, and these skills become an important part of the children’s lifelong learning and development.
The educational practice contains a number of challenges, as a significant part of the work involves the development of people. Many aspects of this practice are implicit and are about shaping and strengthening individual abilities, attitudes, and potentials. This requires a deep understanding of human development and adaptation to the unique needs of each individual, making educational work both complex and rewarding.
Nordic Metalearning provides teachers and pedagogues with extra resources for their pedagogical work. This gives access to new future-oriented and professionally grounded pedagogical tools, which can be integrated with existing knowledge and practice. This strengthens the ability to meet challenges in the world of education and promotes the learning and well-being of children and young people.

Existing understandings and practices:
Meta-learning challenges what we already know and the ways we practice pedagogy. It encourages us to look beyond conventional methods and experiment with new approaches. By bringing critical reflection and self-awareness into the learning process, we are better able to understand how we learn and how we can improve our own methods and practices. -
The pedagogical paradox:
Traditional teaching has often focused on information transfer without prioritizing deeper understanding and practical application. Meta-learning breaks with this paradox by emphasizing creating meaningful connections between theory and practice. It encourages students and participants to take an active part in their own learning and explore topics at a deeper level. -
Sustainable communication:
Meta-learning is not just a temporary trend; it is a sustainable approach to education and formation. By promoting self-regulation, critical thinking, and problem-solving, meta-learning gives students and participants the tools they need to learn and adapt in a constantly changing world. It gives children the opportunity to take control of their own learning, both in their professional and personal lives. -
Competencies of the future:
Meta-learning is in line with the need for future skills, which include creative thinking, collaboration, adaptability, and digital competence. By integrating these competencies into the learning process, meta-learning prepares individuals for success in an increasingly complex and globalized world.
Knowledge dissemination
Nordic Metalearning aims to impart knowledge about metalearning and the importance of language for children and young people’s learning, well-being, and personal development. We do this because meta-learning breaks inappropriate patterns in society which contribute to creating dissatisfaction among children and young people. Therefore, Nordic Metalearning is also aimed at professional groups beyond just teachers and pedagogues.
Discontent among children and young people is not only an individual problem, it also affects society as a whole. It can have consequences for the education system, the healthcare system, and even the future workforce. In order to meet this challenge, knowledge sharing across professional groups is a necessity. It is not just a responsibility of individuals or organizations, it is a joint responsibility of society as a whole.
Knowledge sharing about metalearning is important for the following reasons:
-
Professional Development:
We help educators, mentors, and professionals expand their knowledge and skills in meta-learning, which is essential to effectively guide and support others in their learning and formation. -
Establishment of Well-Being:
Dissemination of knowledge about meta-learning can lead to a better understanding of how to promote a positive learning environment where well-being and mental well-being are prioritized. This is particularly important in educational and work contexts. -
Sustainable Learning Environments:
Implementation of meta-learning can contribute to improving all the learning environments in which children and young people move. This is because the professional staff work purposefully to support and strengthen children and young people—even in difficult situations.
