In order to increase learners employability through the 4Cs (Critical thinking, Creativity, Collaboration and Communication) as well as to equip them for the digital transition, a key area of work is STEAM, meaning Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics. STEAM is a highly innovative field in terms of new pedagogies, new technologies and new institutional approaches, and STEAM-based careers are very effective for meeting the current global challenges.
The participants of this New Learning Club have the chance to bring their ideas and discuss about topics as stimulating the students' curiosity and enthusiasm in scientific and technological subjects, developing the ability to apply creativity and critical thinking in young people, and improving young people's access to high-quality STEAM education.
