How can educators introduce STEM concepts to young learners in a way that is playful, inclusive, and engaging?

This event will explore how circus pedagogy and creative arts-based approaches can support early childhood and primary educators in fostering curiosity, problem-solving, and scientific thinking

The programme will include:

• Interactive workshops with circus and creative arts practitioners
• Exchange of practices on STEM engagement in early education
• Needs analysis and discussion on research gaps and programme priorities
• Structured networking and partner-finding sessions
• Support for shaping project concepts under Erasmus+ KA2 Small-Scale Partnerships
