InEdu – Innovate, Educate, Awake
Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

This project aims to propagate an education system based on enquiry, experimentation, observation, and reasoning rather than on rote learning and the passing of examinations based on it. We want to popularize this method among a wider audience of educators, students, parents, and scientists; to spread its use to more countries, more schools, and more teachers; and to expose more children and more parents to learning using this methodology. This objective is based on the belief that our current primary and secondary education systems may no longer be fit for purpose for the rapidly changing world in which we live, and in a Europe that needs to create jobs, innovate, and become more socially and commercially entrepreneurial.The origins of the project are based on current Children’s University (FUD) practice which requires children to attend Universities or other venues to come face-to-face with the scientists and academics who provide lessons dealing with complex subjects in a simple way. We plan to overcome the limitations of this approach by creating training for teacher and exchange of good practices between the partner organizations to foster innovation. 1400 teachers will receive a product of these exchange in a form of innovative Teachers' Materials (Teachers' Boxes). They will also have an access to Teachers' Community of Practice to learn from each other and to stimulate their personal and professional development.The ultimate aim is to change the education system and produce more adults who are innovative and entrepreneurial. Since this isn’t possible to measure during the project we will measure the effect of the lessons amongst pupils, teachers, parents, and lesson contributors according to three criteria: Interest, Engagement, and Satisfaction. We expect significant improvement in all of these categories.
