Partnership and Training

Together we can make slöyd education equitable and accessible.

Partnership Framework

The core and most valuable aspect of slöyd education is the original pedagogy. Slöyd is not simply “woodworking for kids”. The success of our partnership framework and support of other individuals, organizations, and schools lies in the nature of these entities wanting to provide authentic, hands-on education that positively shapes the character of our collective youth.

Our partners invest in Slöyd Experience so that we can advance our mission, together. Partner organizations receive hands-on instructor training, supplemental teaching resources, classroom tool/set-up guidance, license to use a refined model curriculum with their students, access to research and best practices in this unique pedagogy from University level educators in the US and Finland, and connection to a network of educators who are growing quality slöyd education programs.

Slöyd Experience is committed to supporting the development of quality slöyd education programs. If you are interested in investing in your youth and partnering with us, we welcome you reaching out.
