[xmca] Welcome to study Activity Theory in Helsinki!
Dear colleagues and students,
the Center for Research on Activity, Development and Learning
(CRADLE) at the Institute of Behavioural Sciences of University of
Helsinki is offering three opportunities to study activity theory and
developmental work research in Helsinki, Finland. The first one is
our international summer school course 'Activity Theory and Formative
Interventions' that will take place in August 2011. The second one is
the international Master's degree programme in adult education and
developmental work research which is accepting applications for its
next class that starts in the fall of 2012. The third one is the
Doctoral program for developmental work research and adult education
which is also accepting applications for its next class that will
start in January 2012.
Below we give very brief information about each one of the three
programs. More details can be found in the web pages of the three
programs (see the links below). Do not hesitate to contact anyone of
us if you have questions or need further information. Please forward
this message to anyone who might be interested.
Sincerely,

The Helsinki Summer School course on ‘Activity Theory and Formative
Interventions’ (ATFI) will take place from August 9 to August 25,
2011 at University of Helsinki, Finland. The course is aimed at
giving a rich introduction to activity theory and developmental work
research for those interested in pursuing further studies in this
exciting field.
Theory and practice will be brought together with the help of case
presentations and field visits to organizations in which formative
interventions have been carried out.
The number of participants is limited to 30 and only a few places are
left. The course will be held in English. The application form and
further information about the course can be found online here:

2.
The Master's Degree Programme in Adult Education and Developmental
Work Research started in 2006 and is based on the 20-year tradition
of developmental work research conducted in the CRADLE at the
Institute of Behavioural Sciences (IBS) of University of Helsinki.
This is an interventionist research approach rooted in cultural-
historical activity theory and internationally recognized as an
innovative framework to study work and learning. During their studies
students are typically involved in research projects conducted in the
CRADLE or in its partner organizations.
Beginning of the programme: 1 September 2012
Application period: 21 November 2011 to 31 January, 2012.

The Doctoral program for developmental work research and adult
education (DWRAE) is a subprogramme of the Finnish Doctoral Porgramme
in Education and Learning (FiDPEL). Our doctoral program has been
running since 1995, and 30 doctoral dissertations have been produced
in it. In the first two years of this four-year program, the students
participate in intensive courses and seminars at the CRADLE. The
students conduct their research and work on their dissertations as
full members of the collaborative CRADLE community and often within
its larger research projects. For the class of 2012, we have a
limited number of places which come with full salary, and a number of
places for students who bring their own funding.
