PUMA does Educational Material Fact and it is created to revitalize and inspire teaching and learning in a relational and appreciative perspective.

PUMA is used by many schools in Denmark to work with ACT (Behaviour, Contact and well-being), special education, and not least to support the inclusion process. Silkeborg municipality chose 2011 to invest in a copy of PUMA for each teacher, Educator, consultant and psychologist in the community as baseline against for a large inklusionsprojekt.

PUMA has not yet been translated into other languages, but it can be used in Norway and Sweden, and perhaps Iceland without major problems, particularly if the reader has a systemic constructionist background understanding.

In the Faroe Islands PUMA a known material, because I have trained teachers in the Faroe Islands to use the material. For Finnish interested, a course might be necessary to provide insight into the material. Quotes of course, would also enhance learning in other countries.
