CREATIONS: Developing an Engaging Science Classroom

Share this project

In CREATIONS, a project funded by the European Union, 16 partners from 10 countries develop creative approaches based on art for an engaging science classroom.

How can young people’s interest in science be increased? 16 partners from 10 European countries want to break new ground. In CREATIONS, a project funded by the European Union, they develop creative approaches based on art for an engaging science classroom. The partners are planning a variety of events with theatre, photography and exhibitions in which young people can experience an active and playful role within science and research. CREATIONS establishes a pan-European network of scientists, teachers, artists and students.

CREATIONS was launched in October 2015 and runs for three years. CREATIONS aims at improving the skills of young people in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) and at attracting talent to scientific careers by:

  • Giving students and teachers opportunities to experiment with many different places, activities, personal identities and people.
  • Simulating the work of the scientist and researcher in the classroom.
  • Promoting a better understanding of how science works.
  • Enhancing students’ science-related career aspirations.
  • Encouraging and empowering science teachers to effect change.
  • Implementing and promoting inquiry-based science teaching and learning.
  • Learning and (self-)creating in emotionally rich learning environments.
  • Disseminating and exploiting the results.
