The Educational Technology research group of the University of Murcia, directed by Mª Paz Prendes, organized on 26 and 27 September the meeting of the Erasmus + `CREATEskills' project, in which institutions and public schools of Spain, Greece have participated , Portugal and Lithuania.
During the meeting, the representatives of each institution have defined the work strategies with the teachers, families and students throughout this course.
The objective of the project is to promote the use of innovative methodologies in primary schools to teach Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
In addition, it aims to promote the development of digital skills in teachers and students to encourage a positive attitude towards science among students.
The team of `CREATEskills' is designing the implementation of a STEM teaching experience (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) supported by Information and Communication Technologies in the classrooms of the primary schools that participate in the project, with the objective of improving the quality and relevance of the learning process.
The target audiences of this project are Primary students (from 6 to 12 years of age), teachers and parents, as well as researchers and organizations related to science.
"It's about establishing a bridge between schools and work environments", as stated by Mª Paz Prendes.
The `CREATEskills' project lasts two years and is funded by the Erasmus + program of the European Commission.
