Project number: 2022-1-EL01-KA220-SCH-000086968
Implementation period: 30.12.2022 – 29.06.2025
Assistance program: Erasmus+

Project description

The STEAMDIVE project is mainly focused on Empowering Diversity (DIVERSITY in STEAM) with the use of the STEAM educational framework, a framework designed to promote Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics as a means for creative and essential learning. Therefore, the priority of inclusion and diversity is not only relative to the project STEAMDIVE but it is also its core. Through the designed workshops –that promote the “learning by doing” method– and the project’s objectives, students realize the value of diversity and work on projects that promote it. Furthermore, STEAMDIVE project is highly attached to promoting interest in excellence in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and the STEAM approach since the STEAM framework and especially the A in STEAM, Arts, is the main tool the project implies in order to make schools students realize through practice how important is diversity and how everyone (including SEN or SEN(D) students, people of different race and/or religion) is unique, beautiful and should be accepted as that.
