Pre kick off online meeting 20 November 2024

On November 20th, we held our pre-kick-off online meeting, marking the start of the STEM Sports Education project, funded by Erasmus+! Our project aims to combine STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) with Sports to create engaging learning opportunities for secondary school students, especially girls. By integrating these fields, the project aims to boost critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills while promoting physical activity and a healthy lifestyle.

Project Objectives:

Increase accessibility to STEM topics for students aged 12–15, emphasizing girls’ participation.
Develop key STEM skills using sports as a practical, real-life context.
Equip educators with tools to promote interdisciplinary learning and inclusion.
Share best practices across Europe for integrating STEM and sports education.

Key Activities:

Development of a STEM Sports Learning Toolkit with non-formal activities.
Creation of a Training Program for Educators in STEM Sports.
Field research and focus groups to localize and innovate approaches.
Dissemination of resources to foster sustainability and widespread impact.

Consortium Partners: This exciting project brings together seven organizations from four EU countries:

Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) – Belgium
Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) – Spain
INQUIRIUM Ltd – Cyprus
