While curricula carries value statements, could these values be filtered or magnified by the teaching practices of the teacher who execute that curriculum? Loved the workshop, Gooseberries and Workshop Leaders! Identity is a hard topic to talk about at an international event since tackling identity in school vastly differs from culture to culture (e.g. China vs. Finland, per discussed in our Breakout room). With that said, you did a great job presenting such a challenging topic, Noora and Filip!

Though a well-designed curricula can help many teachers do a good job and achieve a more standard outcome, teachers can also have a big influences on the courses especially the hidden curricula. For example, when there is a student got injured in the classroom or playground, besides the medical care of him or her, it is a suitable occasion to discuss how to take care of yourself or your classmate, how to take first-aid measures, or about what is the value of doctors and nurses(which leads to the vocational guidance),etc. This event can not be design before it occurs, and it is not easy to be a curricula, but a well-developed teacher could put aside the normal course and arrange a special discussion instead. School masters should support this kind of teaching because children's wellbeing is much more important than the grades they achieved.
Further, teaching should not just be a job, it is the life of teachers, and learning in school is the lives of students. Teachers good personality and skills matters a lot in making students feel supported and well-instructed.
