ContextThe project identifies two common challenges that the European educational and training systems are facing and that need a common effort in order to be answered to: - the lack of motivation of secondary and vocational education students in studying scientific related topics, and the related insufficient results that they achieve during their school curricula - the lack of capacity of teachers and trainers in updating their teaching methods in order to promote the interest of their students toward scientific issuesObjectiveThe project aims to create a learning community of European teachers and students in order to carry out a common reflection on how to: - make scientific issues more attractive - promote the capacity of learners to be managers of their own learning process - exploit and mainstream the more effective projects and experiences available at European level in the fieldTarget groupsSecondary school and vocational education teachers, trainers and students.
