STEAM is a summer school in Science Communication that has the aim of fostering the building of communities that involved in science education, creating a bridge between researchers and the wider education sector. From the official description: 

“The STEAM team includes journalists, scholars and performers from Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Malta, and United Kingdom. We offer a unique opportunity to experience and share best-practices and experiences from all over Europe. The STEAM network of ambassadors will be encouraged to spread newly-learnt experiences with others back in their own countries.”

Recently, it was a pleasure to participate as speaker in one of these events, meeting with a number of educators with a passion for science education, to share ideas for effective communication of scientific concepts to students and the public alike.
