Overview

We are working on the second edition of a virtual summit dedicated to educators and STEAM Education. Our vision is to continue connecting Educators across the EU so that they can learn from each other for the benefit of their students and our societies.

The STEAM Education framework continues to gain increasing visibility in all worldwide, including in Europe.
The concept is evolving in the educational field, with a multitude of activities, projects, and programs. These, whether coordinated or not, combined with the attractive technological developments for society, have translated into an increased focus on STEAM areas in education. This now prompts the need to reflect on what we are doing in this field.

  • Do STEAM Education initiatives have an economic development effect on society?
  • Is it interesting for each makerspace to work independently, yet with creative freedom?
  • Are our educators prepared to learn and incorporate new technical and artistic skills beyond their pedagogical practices?
  • Will all educators need to adopt STEAM approaches in the future?

These are just a few questions that arise when we consider our work in this area, both inside and outside of school.
However, there are other questions we must ask, to understand the essence of STEAM Education:

  • What constitutes a STEAM Education activity?
  • What criteria must an educational project meet to be recognized as a STEAM Education approach?

We are actively seeking answers, which can only emerge through the collective discussion among various stakeholders in this educational field. Whether they are technology or material producers, teachers, teacher trainers, researchers, or STEAM educators within the community, we invite all to participate.
As part of a network that aims to incorporate diverse perspectives, we are organizing the 2nd European Summit of STEAM Educators. This event will bring together educators, teachers, researchers, projects, organizations, universities, and producers of STEAM Education materials in a series of presentations, allowing us to grasp the current state of this educational dimension in Europe.

European STEAM educators will convene online in a Think Tank that will produce official conclusions and set future references for our everyday activities. We will find answers to specific questions, share our doubts, and engage in discussions with colleagues and experts who will generously share their knowledge and expertise with us.
