STEAMbrace | European coordination network and activities to embrace a sustainable and inclusive STEAM educational system: the blend of artistic and creative approaches in STEM education, research & innovation

Summary
This project aims to bridge the current gender gap in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields by unlocking the potential of STEAM (STEM + Arts) education approach for future European innovators, especially women. Thus, this project will establish a coordination Alliance at European level and develop numerous networking and educational activities using a creative thinking and a scientific evidence-based approach. This will lead to broad, sustainable (environmental-responsible, social-inclusive & economically-balanced) and inclusive (gender, geodemographic and socioeconomic wide-ranging) STEAM education methodology that will positively influence in the transition towards a cultural and social cohesion of Europe.
This EU interdisciplinary consortium will follow a multi-actor approach where cultural and creative industries (CCIs) are drivers of the cultural and creative-driven innovation ecosystems, combined with validation with 11-18 years old students, that will allow to better understand the gaps and limitations of STEM education regarding country, age, gender and other socio-cultural aspects and boost the change towards a sustainable, reproducible & inclusive European STE(A)M education.
As a result, this CSA project will deliver a digital hub for participant networking (both students and stakeholders); missing information on STEAM level of implementation in Europe; numerous country-adapted training activities to boost integration of STEAM approaches in secondary and vocational training schools, with specific activities for young women and rural students; a pilot of the STEAM week at EU level and a roadmap for annual reproducibility; as well as follow-up training courses and guideline of minimum requirements for teachers and educational managers to ensure a STEAM education across Europe. Moreover, the project will extensively disseminate and communicate project’s events, results and findings, including the development of recommendations
