The European project DESIRE develops models of diffusion and exploitation to ease the spreading of science education projects results to teachers.
The European project DESIRE (Disseminating Educational Science, Innovation and Research in Europe) develops models of diffusion and exploitation to ease the spreading of science education projects results to teachers.
We invite science teachers, STEM professionals, science project planners, policy-makers, organisers of science events and organisers of activities and expositions in museums to tell about their experience in accessing or disseminating tools and methods that have helped know about project results.
The DESIRE project is carried out by European Schoolnet together with, INDIRE (Agenzia Nazionale per lo Sviluppo dell'Autonomia Scolastica), Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Dansk Naturvidenskabsformidling and EcsiIte (The European Network of Science Centres and Museums) and funded under the European Commission’s Lifelong Learning Programme (DG Education and Culture).
The primary objective is to identify how new project results on methods and practises in science education can reach teachers and schools more efficiently. The project started in December 2011 and will run for two years. We invite science teachers, STEM professionals, science project planners, policy-makers, organisers of science events and organisers of activities and expositions in museums to tell about their experience in accessing or disseminating tools and methods that have helped know about project results. The sharing of practical experience will help us identify the best practise dissemination models for project results. DESIRE will ensure that more teachers throughout Europe will have access to inspiring methods and tools they can integrate in their teaching practices.
