Science on Stage Festivals
Every two years, Science on Stage Europe organizes Europe's biggest educational festival from and for STEM teachers. Each time hosted by a different country. The event brings together up to 450 STEM teachers from all across Europe to share and exchange their ideas and concepts for a successful science education from primary to secondary school.
The participants present their most innovative teaching ideas to their international colleagues at stands, in workshops and in on-stage-presentations. Following the principle 'from teachers for teachers' the festival supports the professional development of the educators. It is also a starting point for a wide range of national follow-up activities as the best teaching concepts find their way to teacher trainings and teaching materials after the event.
Teachers are competitively selected through rigorous application processes and national events in the Science on Stage countries.
The 13th European Science on Stage festival took place from 12-15 August 2024 in Turku, Finland.
Federico Andreoletti about the European festival 2024
"As a science communicator (in my region), I daily meet teachers and students and what is really missing is just motivation, in both of them. And the best way to boost motivation is meeting and sharing with colleagues, something that AI will never provide educators with, whilst SonS does.[...] And if I look back to my carreer the Sons festivals have been the highest point in terms of enthusiasm, eagerness to learn, sharing and talking about science"
