Project STEPAM represented at 5th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON EDUCATION, GLOBAL INTEGRATION AND SPORT 20TH FIEPS EUROPEAN CONGRESS

The STE(PA)M project (STEPAM – Teacher Training in Physical Activities and Embodied Learning through STEAM Education, project number: 2023-1-RS01-KA220-HED-000166894) aims to improve the education system through the integration of physical activity into the STEAM approach, thereby fostering the development of key student competences such as critical thinking, creativity, and digital skills. The project will develop practical educational materials, including a handbook with 36 examples, a scientific publication, and an e-learning platform, in order to ensure broad implementation and sustainability of the model. A particular focus is placed on empowering teachers and promoting the STE(PA)M approach at both national and international levels. The project is coordinated by the University of Kragujevac, in partnership with institutions from Finland and Austria.

The STEPAM Project Coordinator, Prof. Aleksandar Ignjatović, PhD, participated in the 5th International Conference on Education, Global Integration and Sport and the 20th European Congress, held on 1–2 May 2026 in Elbasan, Albania.

The project was presented through the paper “STEPAM CONCEPT: INTEGRATING PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND STEM THROUGH EMBODIED LEARNING IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN (AGES 7–10).” Experts from the region and Southeast Europe had the opportunity to learn more about the STEPAM concept, which integrates physical education with STEAM disciplines.
