ongoing

"It is widely accepted and documented through studies and references that school students lack Competences and skills at the completion of the cycle of their school studies. As one of the key factors that can develop competences and skills in school students is the known project based learning activity. In the last 15 years we have seen the development from STEM to STEAM and now to STEAME (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics and Entrepreneruship) becoming the subject set that is considered through interplay the kinetic energy for producing the creators and innovators of the future under the digital age. The catalyst in making this a reality are the subject teachers in service and the future student teachers through their initial training at the university level. The project ""STEAME Teacher Facilitators Academies"", will support the change to the future schools with main actors the teacher facilitators as the future professionals and experts of learning change. The STEAME Teacher Facilitators Academies will support the professional development and build a community of service and student teachers.
