PROJECT GOAL
Through various training courses, study visits and participation in fairs, we will strengthen the capacities of civil society organisations (CSOs) to implement and spread STEM education. The goal is to empower CSOs to actively promote science, technology, engineering and mathematics among young people. Through this project, we will include over 1000 children in order to bring the STEM field closer to them, spark their curiosity and develop key skills for the future. In this way we are laying the foundations for educating future experts in these important fields and contributing to the development of society as a whole. In particular, we will enable children with disabilities to take part in the project by using assistive technology, which will enable their inclusion in society and socialising with their peers.
