The G-STEAM project is proud to announce the launch of its Community of Practice (CoP). It is a new Europe-wide space designed to bring together education stakeholders committed to strengthening gender-inclusive and intersectional approaches in STE(A)M teaching. The acronym STE(A)M refers to the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.
The CoP serves as a collaborative hub where teachers, teacher trainers, teacher candidates, universities, CPD providers, researchers, NGOs, and policymakers can connect and exchange knowledge. Through interactive discussions, access to G- STEAM materials and insights, and opportunities to share classroom practices, the CoP offers a supportive environment for co-creating and applying solutions that make STE(A)M education more inclusive for all learners.
The G-STEAM CoP aims to build meaningful connections between Initial Teacher Education (ITE) and Continuous Professional Development (CPD), fostering long- term collaboration across Europe. If you work in teacher training or STE(A)M education, stay tuned to hear about project activities and opportunities to join the Community of Practice!
National Awareness-Raising Events Held Across Europe
To accompany the launch of the CoP, G-STEAM partners are hosting National Awareness-Raising Events (NAREs) throughout November and December 2025. These events introduce educators, teacher trainers, and other education stakeholders to the beta version of the CoP online platform, offering a preview of its features and inviting participants to help shape its future development.
During each event, attendees explore how the CoP promotes mentorship, peer learning, and collaboration between institutions, and how it supports teachers in embedding gender-sensitive and intersectional approaches in STE(A)M classrooms. Participants are encouraged to provide feedback, join the CoP, and contribute to the ongoing development of a more equitable European education ecosystem.
NAREs are being held across The Netherlands, Romania, Italy, Finland, Czechia, Luxembourg, Greece, Spain, and France, with some events already completed and others still upcoming, all hosted by G-STEAM partner institutions.
