The goal of the program is to build the capability of the city to address and solve problems, in teams, through action-oriented work.

In March 2024, 24 participants across 5 teams began the PDIA online action learning program. The teams include 4-5 members from various departments within the city of Helsinki, and other service providers. Over the period of twelve weeks, they will learn the following skills: leadership, communication, working in teams, authorization, time management, and how to solve complex problems with the focus on child and youth safety.

This program is ongoing and more details are coming soon.
