Lessons Learnt

What are GINTL lessons learnt?

GINTL lessons learnt answer the question: “What are some of the key things we have learnt from GINTL-funded activities that we would like to reflect on and share to inform future work?”

What does a GINTL lesson learnt look like?

We are not sure, but we assume a typical lesson learnt might be a short text, which summarises the understanding gained on the specific theme. 

What are the lessons learnt not?

They are not an assessment to judge the success of GINTL or individual activities pertaining to it. Neither do they tell what works in education development and what does not.

What is the purpose of the lessons learnt?

The process builds understanding between stakeholders and informs future work.

Who will be involved in developing the lessons?

The process is open to anyone interested. In particular, we encourage participation by those who have been involved in GINTL-funded activities – researchers, teachers, students, support service staff, etc., from the participating higher education institutions in Finland and their partners in India, China and the African continent.

Who is the target audience for the finalised lessons?

In Finland, target audiences include:

• those taking decisions on funding priorities
•  officials developing funding modalities
• higher education institutions making decisions on the same according to the autonomy granted to them
• researchers and administrative staff developing and implementing collaborations
• their stakeholders who might want to collaborate with HEIs and their partners from the Global South.

In partner countries, similar stakeholder groups will be identified, guided by responses from partner institutions.
