The SENSE. Horizon Europe project (2022-2025) developed a “New European Roadmap for STEAM Education” by integrating the arts into science learning to foster creativity, inclusion and real-world inquiry. Across three years and seven work packages, the consortium co-created an innovative approach, tested it in 13 STEAM Labs across Europe directly engaging over 4.000 participants and reaching 100.000 in total. Outputs include sustainability efforts and products such as learning activities, two toolkits, and policy recommendations, all distributed via the SENSE. Digital Hub, an open platform for resources and collaboration. The project demonstrated adaptability to contexts and beneficiaries with promising evaluation results and feedback. Beyond direct outcomes, SENSE. shows potential for institutional and structural change toward more inclusive, innovative, interdisciplinary, and sustainable education in Europe.
This impact report is for the public and for current and future stakeholders of STEAM education: educators, curriculum designers, decision and policy makers, and anyone interested in teaching and learning. It features the impact at the consortium level and then dives into the Romanian case study of GEYC's activities, focusing on the Labs and outreach efforts.
This report has been compiled by Adelina Dragomir, our Head of Entrepreneurship & Employability and SENSE. Romanian manager, with contributions from consortium partners (special mention for PHW's David B. and Florian T.) and GEYC colleagues involved in the SENSE project. The digital design has been produced by Lina Boicu, our Community Engagement Assistant.
