PÓVOA DE VARZIM- 23rd-27th Mar 26
ACCIPE is welcoming 25 teachers from Wales and Portugal that will take part in a professional development experience in Portugal in March 2026.
The aim of the course is to provide participants with a solid foundation in STEAM principles and pedagogy, with a particular focus on creative, cross-curricular, and inquiry-based learning that can be adapted to their own educational contexts. Through hands-on exploration of Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics, participants will experience first-hand the kinds of learning they will later facilitate in their classrooms.
