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 31st Annual Congress of the European College of Sport Science, held from 7 to 10 July in Lausanne, Switzerland.

The project was presented through the paper titled “COMPARING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY DURING INTERDISCIPLINARY INSTRUCTION AND FREE PLAY: A CASE STUDY OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN,” which was developed as a result of the joint work of the project team members from Serbia, Finland, and Austria. The paper presented the STEPAM concept to experts from across Europe.
