STEAM

This course is designed for both experienced and inexperienced teachers who are interested in creating a STEAM classroom in their teaching environment.   Our course is focused on understanding the process which brought from STEM to STEAM, more popular and trendy at the moment. This approach is named differently from STEM because of to its focus on arts (fine arts, language arts, liberal arts, and physical arts) as a crucial integral part. The arts component was inspired by the concurrent social discourse on education for creativity and a well-rounded citizen in the twenty-first century

Our STEAM training course is flexible and adaptable to special requests, depending on the subject taught or on the starting level of our participants.  It is based on a pedagogic balance between formal and non-formal education, indoor and outdoor education.  The Positive Impact team takes care of a very important aspect of international mobility which is the intercultural learning with short excursions and meetings with local partners and schools in the region.
