From STEM to STEAM: Integrating Art into STEM Education

Name: From STEM to STEAM: Integrating Art into STEM Education
Price: 400 EUR

Why this is Erasmus+ eligible

Structured, multi-day programme (5 days) with a pre-defined schedule and learning outcomes — not a passive lecture format.

Built around interaction: participants engage directly with the trainer and with peers from other countries throughout the course.

Transnational by design — open to participants travelling from outside the host country, a core requirement of Erasmus+ mobility funding.

Overview

This course teaches educators how to integrate art into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects, moving from STEM to STEAM. By incorporating art, students build creativity, sharpen problem-solving skills and experience genuinely interdisciplinary learning. Participants design their own STEAM-based lesson plans and projects, using digital tools to make STEM subjects more engaging and inclusive.

Methodology

Hands-On, Project-Based Learning

After brief theoretical grounding in the STEAM model, participants spend most of the course developing their own lesson plans and projects.

Creative Problem-Solving Throughout

Daily group work, collaborative activities and creative problem-solving tasks put art-STEM integration into direct practice.

Digital Tools Bring Art and STEM Together

Digital tools support the design of interdisciplinary projects that combine artistic and scientific competencies.

What you'll take home

Create lesson plans that integrate art into STEM subjects.

Design creative, interdisciplinary learning environments using the STEAM model.

Develop STEAM projects that combine art and STEM using digital tools.

Build STEAM-based learning environments aligned with Erasmus+ digital-transformation and inclusivity priorities.

Certificate & assessment

This is a Certificate of Attendance, not an exam-based qualification — recognition comes from completing the structured programme, not from passing a test. The real, lasting value is in the competencies listed above under What you'll take home.

Erasmus Mobility Academy

Certificate of Attendance

From STEM to STEAM: Integrating Art into STEM Education · 5 days · 25 hrs

+ Europass Mobility document

Type your name above — clearly marked "SAMPLE" in the PDF, not an official document.

The real certificate is signed by your trainer and EMA's authorised signatory. Your own signature isn't on this document — it's captured separately, on the Europass Mobility document.

Need to verify a real certificate? Check it online using the serial number and participant surname, or contact us directly — [email protected], OID E10304561.

Attendance

Tracked using a sign-in sheet with one signature per participant per day (paper or digital). This record is used to issue your Certificate of Attendance and Europass Mobility document. View sign-in sheet (PDF)

Output

Every participant leaves with a completed Dissemination & School Impact Plan — a step-by-step template for applying the course back at your school (see below).

Feedback

An end-of-course evaluation form is sent to every participant after the course ends — a chance to reflect on what you've learned and how you'll apply it, and it helps us keep improving the course for future participants.

Your paperwork

Keep your travel tickets, boarding passes and (if you used green travel) any related receipts — your school or National Agency may ask for these for their own Erasmus+ reporting.

Practical information

Billing & invoicing

We issue official invoices/proformas with the participant's name and course details — ask us. Payment is due in full by bank transfer before the course start date. See a sample (PDF).

Airport transfer

Guidance on getting from the nearest airport to the venue is included in your welcome information.

Accommodation

We can recommend partner hotels close to the venue in the host city — ask us when you apply.

For your school / proposal

School impact

After completing this Digital & Innovative Education course, the participating staff member can transfer outcomes directly to their school: a short briefing for colleagues sharing the key takeaways, applying relevant tools or strategies from the programme in their own role, and inclusion of the course materials in the school's professional development resources — turning one person's mobility into a wider institutional gain that supports the school's European Development Plan. Use the Dissemination & School Impact Plan below to fill in your own — it saves as you go and can generate a one-page summary for your coordinator too.

After the course

Participants will receive their certificates (Certificate of Attendance + Europass).

Participants will complete a general course evaluation and event survey.

Participants will receive course materials, videos, photos, and PDF documents in both digital and print formats.

Follow-up support: an email group is created for idea exchange, self-evaluation materials are provided, and participants receive a follow-up check-in after 3 months to discuss progress on embedding STEAM, art-integrated lessons into their own STEM teaching.

Frequently asked

Yes. The course fee, travel and subsistence are all eligible costs under an Erasmus+ mobility grant or accreditation. We issue all invoices and certificates your national agency requires.

B1 or above is comfortable. Trainers speak clearly, materials are written in plain English, and mixed-nationality teams support each other.

Absolutely — group bookings of 3+ from one school receive priority placement, and we can schedule a dedicated session for groups of 12 or more.

Our courses run on request at our centres in Antalya, İstanbul, İzmir, Mersin, Budapest and Bremen. Tell us your preferred city and dates and we will arrange a session.
