About the Workplace
We are now seeking a traveling pedagogue who will regularly visit multiple preschools in Malmö to help children develop the Finnish language. This support is available for children with Finnish backgrounds whose guardians wish to preserve and strengthen the child's culture, identity, and minority language. Support can be sought for children in municipal and independent preschools and family daycare centers (educational care).
As a traveling pedagogue, you will have an independent role with great freedom to develop pedagogical methods. The position may be combined with a certain number of hours at Malmö's only Finnish-language department, Lankarulla at Spinneriets preschool, which, like the traveling pedagogue, is part of the Finnish administrative area in Malmö.
