The meeting has been an important occasion to sum up the contributions of each partner and a summary of 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗼 𝗮𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱!

The Playing with Protons Goes Digital project, in response to the educational disruptions caused by the COVID-19 crisis, envisages that every student deserves a digitally ready school that also has the capacity to act as an open innovation hub for the development of 21st century skills within an integrated learning ecosystem that capitalises on the strengths of both formal and informal science education experiences.

The meeting has been really usefull to reinforce the concept of open schooling in science education by shifting attention to the importance of hybrid, cross-collaborative STEAM learning environments that extend beyond the “school walls” through meaningful connections and engagement with non-formal and informal science, technology and art education providers to promote student creativity and interest in science-related careers.

It is always exciting and inspiring bringing together an international consortium of partners with a proven track record and passion for bringing innovation into the classroom.

We are all enthusiastic about the work done so far, happy and confident in facilitate the further development of the project.
