EU project description
Start: 2018
Status: ongoing
Keywords: science communication, STEAM, informal learning
SUMMARY
This project focuses on science learning outside the classroom, mapping the field across Europe and evaluating a number of transdisciplinary programmes to design best principles for educators in this field. It will also examine individual learning ecologies to gain a better understanding of how learning in informal settings works. Target group: children and teenagers between 9 and 20 years.
