Are you a teacher seeking to enhance the delivery of your STEM curriculum? Are you interested in innovative approaches to science teaching that also address societal challenges? Do you have an interest in trust in science? Are you worried about the role and image of scientific research in your classroom, especially in the context of Covid-19? If your answer is “yes” to any of these questions, then join us this summer in our “Trust in science: the classroom perspective” teacher training event.
Are you a teacher seeking to enhance the delivery of your STEM curriculum? Are you interested in innovative approaches to science teaching that also address societal challenges? Do you have an interest in trust in science? Are you worried about the role and image of scientific research in your classroom, especially in the context of Covid-19? If your answer is “yes” to any of these questions, then join us this summer in our Trust in science: the classroom perspective teacher training event.
The Covid-19 pandemic has turned scientific research into one of the most hotly contested subjects in the public sphere. Never before have societies had the level of access that we enjoy today to the work carried out by scientists in their labs. Yet, the public image of science is not characterised by an outright endorsement. Indeed, mistrust towards both the scientific enterprise and scientists themselves, has been identified as a potential threat to the international effort to fight the pandemic. Wherever it creeps up, this crisis in confidence has been also affecting schools and classrooms, with teachers experiencing difficulties in addressing scientific misinformation and depleted motivation.
The Summer School Trust in science: the classroom perspective addresses the image and role of science in society from the perspective of the school classroom and with students at the center of the approach.
- The Summer School Trust in science: the classroom perspective addresses the image and role of science in society from the perspective of the school classroom and with students at the center of the approachThe approach aims at supporting teachers in designing classroom activities that enhance the delivery of the science curriculum with an emphasis on STEAM, as well as activities that address community building and particular student competencies, such as information literacy, communication, creativity, critical reasoning, learning to learn, responsible citizenship.
The event will include a mixture of workshops on hand-on activities, lectures form scientists and researchers in organisations such as CERN and INFN, virtual tours to science centers and museums and many more. It will utilize novel inquiry-based approaches, as well as ideas form the Playing with Protons approach to STEAM, the Open Schools Journal, the Eurospectives 2.0 approach on Digital Storytelling in school education, RRI.
Themes include what has science done for me, standing in the shoes of a researcher, science and art, science and my family, science in a box, citizen & student science, studying the microcosm, telling science stories with digital tools, open access, science democracy, science in the age of extremes, science as a girl thing, as well how trust in science affects our everyday life, the appeal of misinformation, the role of dialogue, schools as knowledge-transfer and trust-building hubs, science and the European dimension.
This website will act as the main hub of communication and for sharing and distributing preparatory material with the participants. Participants will have a common workspace for uploading and downloading educational materials.
Before coming to the summer school, participants will be asked to review some materials relating to the topic of the summer school and the methodologies that will be employed.
As a follow-up to the training course, the participants will be asked to modify and/or implament of the STEAM activities with an emphasis on trust that they co-designed during the summer school. They will also be encouraged to share their work and request feedback.
Participants of the Trust in Science Summer School will join our network and online community, though which they will be interacting with teachers across Europe sharing ideas and content and forming synergies.
The Trust in Science Summer School programme will be announced soon.

The Summer School will be held at Golden Coast Hotel & Bungalows, an A-class/ 4-star sea-side hotel which stretches on the golden, sandy beach of the Marathon Bay, near the historic location of Marathon, at the outskirts of Athens.
It is the area of Marathon, that has hosted since the times of myths when Theseus killed the terrible bull of Marathon, to the times of the Persian wars and the Battle of Marathon, further on to our days and the marathon race and Marathon Run, the emblematic symbol of man’s quest for freedom and the will to defend his most noble deeds which constitute the foundations of the Human civilization. The plethora of natural, historical sites and museums of the area reveal in all details this unique historical voyage.
Participants are expected to arrive through the Athens International Airport, approximately 25 km (15,53 miles) distance from the hotel.
The Erasmus+ Programme supports the participation in professional development activities such as the ESIA Summer Schools.
This year, however, the Erasmus+ programme for the period of 2021-2027 has not been published yet. Therefore, no new applications can be currently prepared. As soon as the new programme is published (expected in April / May 2021), we will inform you and explain you how to apply in the coming years.
However, in case your school or organization has successfully applied for Erasmus+ funding in the past 2 years, you are able to use the existing funds to cover the costs for this year.
