Inclusive open schooling through engaging and future-oriented science

Project description

Facilitating adoption of open schooling for science education

Open schooling activities for science education are available for limited groups, mainly in the form of extracurricular activities or reserved for the most talented students. However, it is important to ensure all young people become more scientifically literate. Inclusion in education, allowing students to benefit from learning experiences that meet their needs, is especially necessary today for secondary schools to prepare students for future careers. For this reason, the EU-funded CONNECT project’s goal is to create an inclusive, sustainable model that will facilitate the adoption of open schooling by a large number of secondary schools through implementing science-action gamification projects in the core curriculum. Moreover, it will use participatory science approaches with the involvement of students’ families as well as universities and enterprises.
