STEAM Summer School: a 10 day interactive course in science communication
Recent EU recommendations and decisions about the future of educational systems, and recent research initiatives in pedagogical and educational issues, recommend that efforts should be dedicated to motivating the school community to use creative teaching and learning practices in their day-to-day activities. More specifically, creativity and innovation in the teaching of science will help achieve the EUROPE 2020 targets concerned with educational targets. This paper will present the proposed methodology to support creative strategies in science teaching through the pedagogical framework that has been developed by the CREAT-IT project and which integrates the arts with science teaching. This framework supports the implementation of a series of training workshops for teachers and subsequent work with their students in schools. The implementation stages will be evaluated so as to conclude with specific recommendations about practices which can be followed in the future.
