We are running an event on 26th November to talk about Non Formal Education in the form of Making and how it can be used to engage youth in STEM subjects.
This is a hybrid on and offline event, connecting two groups of participants in Toulouse, France and Tarani, Albania. We will be sharing resources, best practises and opening debates about how we can have an impact on a local, regional and European level.
Participants will also get to trial out some of our activities from the Girls in STEM and Digital Heroes project.
