Η κοινότητα αυτή αφορά τα Ελληνικά σχολεία που συμμετέχουν στις δράσεις του Islands Diversity. Μέσα από την κοινότητα αυτή, θα γίνει ο συντονισμός των δράσεων για τα ελληνικά σχολεία, ενώ οι έλληνες εκπαιδευτικοί θα έχουν τη δυνατότητα να ανταλλάξουν ιδέες και να συνεργαστούν.
Islands Diversity for Science Education is a project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Agency of the European Union, that aims to integrate science research in classrooms located in Islands across the world, through the Design Thinking methodology. By using a collaborative inquiry approach and an interdisciplinary pedagogical model that integrates students personal geography, students will invest in research that is relevant to their local communities. The final outcome will be in the form of a science
Museums are established institutions, but they also exist in a changing world. How can we find relations between museums and STEM education? What are the dimensions of “museum education” as a discipline of pedagogy and how do innovative approaches in the teaching of modern science apply to museums? Starting from the assumption that material objects within museums are as much a part of the weave of our lives, such a question could be answered by following: -Exolution of problems aiming at the
The main aim of Mathematical Tour on Art is to help students acquire mathematical thinking combing Maths to Art. We believe that Art, as a representative system, can represent mathematical relationships and can help student understand that Maths are a part of everyday life. The idea of holding and organizing these activities begins with some initial research questions that were held by students, who were trying to answer them on all phases of these activities. • Which is the effect of geometry
This community brings together educators and school leaders who are passionate about transforming schools into living labs for sustainability through Nature-Based Solutions (NBS). Within the framework of the NBS EduWORLD initiative, members design, implement, and share interdisciplinary projects that tackle real environmental challenges while fostering active citizenship and innovation.

The “Towards an Open and e-Mature School” Summer School aims to familiarize participants with the open schooling approach that provides a powerful framework for school heads and teachers to engage, discuss and explore: how schools need to evolve, transform and reinvent; how schools facilitate open, more effective and efficient co-design, co-creation, and use of educational content tools and services for personalized science learning and teaching; how schools can become innovation incubators and
The Open Science Resources (OSR) community enables you to access the finest digital collections in European science centres and museums, to follow educational pathways connecting objects tagged with semantic metadata and to enrich the contents provided with social tags of your own choice. The OSR community contains educational material in the form of educational content (images of exhibits and scientific instruments, videos, animations, exercises, graphs, links) and of educational pathways
