🌟 What an inspiring two days in Matera, Italy!
On 11–12 September, the STEAM Innovation Conference and Festival brought together more than 150 participants, celebrating creativity, collaboration and the power of connecting Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics with the Arts.
Students and teachers from Greece, Italy, Cyprus and Portugal met, exchanged ideas and proudly presented the projects they had developed through theatre, music, making and tinkering. Their enthusiasm, creativity and confidence were at the heart of the event.
💬 “This project showed us that science is not only something we study, it is something we can create, perform and share with others.”
The conference also welcomed experts, policymakers, local authorities and representatives of the European Commission, creating an important space for dialogue on the future of STEAM education and the role of culture, creativity and innovation in learning through Open Schooling and Whole School Approaches.
As the project coordinator, ScienceView is extremely proud that the close collaboration among all partners - together with the remarkable commitment and engagement of teachers and students - contributed to the great success of both the Festival and Conference, as well as the STEAM Innovation project itself.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated and helped make STEAM Innovation Festival and Conference a meeting place for ideas, cultures, creativity and learning! 🇪🇺
