Building on the collective prototyping developed in Paris, Helsinki translated these emerging practices into the Crafting Pedagogies of Togetherness living curriculum, now on the Presencing Institute's website as an open invitation for educators, artists, and people working with youth aged 15 to 25 to explore, adapt, and create their own pedagogies of togetherness.
That foundation has already become the basis for a 20-hour educator training programme, to be piloted across schools and youth contexts in India, France, Finland, South Africa, and Brazil. It also opened a channel to the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture: after the team met with Minister Anders Adlercreutz, insights from the residency helped shape a national initiative on togetherness in schools, centred on small embodied practices like greeting, explored as a moment of attention and mutual presence between children and teachers, shared with schools across Finland in 2025.
