"<< Background >> STEM education is considered a driving force in preparing students for the future. Today's STEM students will solve the global problems of tomorrow to meet the UN's Global Sustainable Development Goals. This building of the necessary competences of the 21st century includes in-depth and comprehensive STEM knowledge, creative thinking, entrepreneurial mind, good communication skills, team behavior, problem detection, and problem-solving skills. This project aimed to respond to the needs of the new age and make the learning process inclusive and interesting for our students through the digitalization of the teaching and learning process, by incorporating the latest resources, an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach, and the modernization of lessons. Today’s global world presents teachers with new challenges. We are at the beginning of the 4th industrial revolution, and educators are faced with preparing a generation of students for many jobs that don’t even exist yet. Since we don’t yet know what jobs will look like as we progress further into the 21st century, it makes sense to educate our children with the skills and capacity to think outside the box withcreative solutions through STEAM education.<< Objectives >>Objectives of the partnership were: 1. Implementation of a modern learning process aimed at students and corresponding to the needs of the modern world 2. To strengthen the professional development of teachers by exchanging innovative teaching practices for teaching and learning at the primary level of education 3.

Building the capacity of teachers for responsible teamwork and their participation in European professional networks to consolidate the European educational space. 6. Exchange of good practices and training of teachers for the Implementation of green practices.<< Implementation >>1. Seven teacher training sessions: ""Innovative use of ICT in teaching and learning"", ""Robotics and AI"", ""Programming and robotics in STEAM Teaching and Learning"", ""Europeana, Scientix, and Future classroom"", ""Use of digital tools in Outdoor teaching and learning"", ""Introduction to programming/coding"" and ""Use of digital tools in STEAM and green practices"". . 2. Formation of 10 international teams of partner teachers who will collaborate to develop cutting-edge lessons using modern technologies for primary school subjects and test them at their schools. 3. Creation of 10 innovative lessons by the 10 international teams formed in the fields of STEAM, Geography, History, Music, Literature, ICT, and sport 4. Creation of an online educational web page for teaching and learning resources created by the partners: videos, presentations, and lesson scenarios created by the international project teacher teams for innovative teaching of STEAM in the digital era5. Conference ""Innovative teaching of STEAM in the Digital era"" with reports from all project teacher teams, showcasing the innovative lessons they have developed and tested in the five partner schools.6. Six partner meetings.7. Shared 50 good STEAM innovative practices.<< Results >>The innovativeness of our project lies in the desire and capabilities of the project participants to make a change in educational practices by creating and adapting new ideas related to STEM and make a change in educational practices by creating and adapting new ideas related to STEM and improvement of competencies. Our results can be useful in teaching every teacher and lead to a lasting change in the educational environment at school. 10 lessons were created by the international team of teachers from the partner schools from Bulgaria, Norway, Portugal, Estonia, and Greece. All lessons and materials are presented in English for international visitors and published in an online e-book and at the project site.50 workshops for sharing good practices were presented by the partner teachers. All 50 presentations are in the English language and were published on the project website to be used by any European teacher. International Conference ""Innovative STEAM Teaching in the Digital Era"" was held on 26 of August 2025 at SU Ekzarh Antim I, Kazanlak, Bulgaria.
