ECO-STEAM4BASICS is designed to deliver concrete, measurable impact at multiple levels, for individual learners and teachers, for schools and families, and for education systems across Europe.

Children aged 3–12

The project aims to create more joyful and participative learning experiences, leading to measurable improvements in foundational literacy, numeracy, science, and socio-emotional skills. At least 300 children across eight partner countries will take part in pilot activities, with at least 25% coming from vulnerable groups.

Teachers and Educators

The project offers enhanced teaching tools, increased confidence, and practical support for inclusive outdoor STEAM pedagogy. At least 120 teachers will be trained through workshops, mentoring, and e-learning, with at least 80% expected to report increased confidence in delivering outdoor STEAM content linked to literacy, numeracy, and digital skills.

Schools and ECEC Centres

Participation in the project supports a higher-quality educational offer, improved learner outcomes, and stronger school-family cooperation. At least 100 families will be actively involved in home and community STEAM learning activities.

Education Systems and Policymakers

ECO-STEAM4BASICS provides a tested, scalable model aligned with EU goals for basic skills, equity, and pedagogical innovation. Eight national Living Labs will engage over 100 stakeholders across partner countries, and a policy roadmap will be endorsed by at least three authorities or networks.

Beyond the funded period, partners will maintain public access to all project resources through the project website and European dissemination platforms, and will continue to promote the pedagogical framework and pilot findings through teacher training, educational networks, and EU education forums.
