Training Programme

Training for Educators on how to promote inclusion in their classroom

WORKING TOGETHER

BLOOMING project aims to create and hold a face-to-face and online training programme for educators and graduate students in education, about the importance of promoting inclusion and diversity in a STEAM classroom. The training programme should be adaptable to work as a standalone course for continuous professional development of educators, or to be incorporated in the curriculum of teachers’ initial education.


The specific objectives include:

SO4.1: Create a training programme for educators on how to promote inclusion in the STEAM classroom

SO4.2: Train educators to implement in their classrooms activities that promote inclusion and diversity and use the Blooming toolkit and Storybook

SO4.3: Promote the Blooming toolkit and blooming storybook to raise awareness about the gender gap in STEAM and inspire young learners ( 14 and above) to pursue a STEAM career


BLOOMING project contributes to the general project objective of promoting awareness about the importance of engaging young women in STEAM to secure a sustainable future (Objective 2). This is achieved by directly empowering a group of educators participating in training, to use the material developed by the project. Moreover, by creating a training programme that others can replicate and adopt, the WP also indirectly promotes the new methodology and raises awareness regarding the importance of inclusion and diversity in STEAM.
