We would like to invite Slovenian
secondary schools to the EDU-ARCTIC project, which offers free educational
tools, e.g. online lessons for students 13-19 years old.
We will be grateful for disseminating this invitation among Slovenian schools.
There is also a workshop in Warsaw in September, which we organise for teachers
from Central and Eastern Europe and we offer travel grants and accommodation
for this event. At least one teacher form Slovenia, who will register for the
workshop before 15 May will get the grant.
Information on the project is presented below. In case of any questions, do not
hesitate to contact me (my details below).
Kind regards,
Agata Goździk

ABOUT EDU-ARCTIC
EDU-ARCTIC is an EU-funded project focused on using Arctic research as a vehicle to strengthen science education curricula across Europe. It aims to encourage students aged 13 to 20 to pursue further education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
Students participating in the project will have a unique possibility to get to know what scientific careers are like and learn more about different research disciplines while learning how to apply the scientific methods and develop crucial problem-solving skills.
FOR WHOM
We invite all lower and upper secondary schools in Europe.
