Science on Stage - The European Science Teaching Network

Science on Stage is a European initiative designed to encourage teachers from across Europe to share best practice in science teaching.

The Science on Stage programme offers European teachers the chance to exchange successful and innovative teaching methods and materials. It is directed towards science teachers and students in Europe's secondary schools. The project addresses the content and format of science teaching in European schools, seeking to improve the quality of teaching and to find new ways to stimulate pupils to take an interest in science.

Innovative and inspirational science teaching is seen as a key component to attract young people to deal with scientific issues, whether or not they finally choose a career in science. Hence, Science on Stage aims to stimulate the interest of young people through the school teachers, who can play a key role in reversing the trend of falling interest in science and current scientific research.

Science on Stage aims to facilitate the exchange of good practice and innovative ideas among Europe's science teachers and to provide a forum for a broad debate among educators, administrators and policy-makers about the key problems in science education today. The goal is to strengthen the awareness and interest of young people in science and technology by increasing the attractiveness of science lessons through the promotion of exciting ideas.

Science on Stage Festival 2011 in Copenhagen

The next international Science on Stage Festival will take place in Copenhagen from 16 - 19 April 2011. 350 science teachers from 27 European countries will have the opportunity to present and exchange experiences, teaching ideas and teaching methods.

Each country will organise a national pre-selection event beforehand, for which you can apply at the National Steering Committee (NSC) in your country. The NSC will then propose the projects to be presented in Copenhagen.
