New STEM films in the making

18. October 2022

On October 6-7, 2022, the partners of the international project Films4edu met at the University of Málaga to summarize the project’s achievements so far and plan the next stages of its implementation. The Foundation of Małopolska University for Children was represented by Jolanta Różowska and Krzysztof Różowski from the foundation board.

We would like to thank the teams from the University of Málaga, the University of Żilína, the University of Innsbruck, and the University of Silesia in Katowice, which is the leader of the Films4edu project, for a fruitful meeting and joint work.

The main goal of the project “A lexicon of educational films on the subject of STEM for primary and secondary school students – films4edu” is the production of educational films for teaching physics and chemistry in primary and secondary schools. The project is co-financed by the Erasmus + Strategic Partnerships program, KA2 action.

The films are currently created together with lesson scenarios. Children’s Universitiy students, e.g. from Małopolski Uniwersytet dla Dzieci, are going to evaluate this content amongst others, which will be later translated into five languages. It is expected that the results for public use will be available in a year.
