Empowering Educators to Inspire Future Careers

STEAM Forward

STEAM Forward in a few words...

STEAM Forward aims at enhancing STEM/STEAM education and career guidance. It will equip educators with modern teaching methods, digital skills, and resources to support students, particularly girls and underrepresented groups, in developing future-ready competencies. Through a MOOC Platform, teacher resources, capacity building, and pilot programs, STEAM Forward will bridge the gap between education and labor market needs, ensuring a lasting impact on STEM/STEAM education and career development.

STEAM Forward sets the following key objectives:

Igniting a passion for STEAM

Through interdisciplinary teaching and learning, we will inspire students to explore the interconnectedness of STEAM disciplines, increasing their awareness of career opportunities and future skills needs.

Empowering Educators as Career Guides

We will train and equip teachers with digital tools, methodologies, and career guidance strategies, ensuring that students receive structured support in navigating STEAM career paths.

Building a Sustainable Network

We will establish a community of STEAM educators and career professionals to promote best practices, share knowledge, and ensure long-term impact beyond the project’s lifespan.

Championing Gender Equality in STEAM

We will challenge gender biases by showcasing female role models, mentorship programs, and targeted initiatives to encourage girls’ participation in STEM fields.

Results

STEAM Forward will produce a complete training course and additional resources for teachers to integrate STEAM education into their curriculum.

A dedicated MOOC platform will be developed, containing the training course and a tools repository with interactive learning material.

Capacity building activities will be implemented to empower teachers as STEAM ambassadors.

The project will be disseminated across partners’ countries via national events, a final international conference and a European webinar to share results and promote adoption of the produced material.

Who we focus on

The main target groups of the STEAM Forward Project are:

  • Teachers in secondary education, across STEM and STEAM disciplines.
  • School leadership, such as principals, administrators, and policy-level stakeholders.
  • Secondary school students, particularly students from underrepresented groups in STEM/STEAM fields.
