To transform and open schools from an inwards to an outwards mode of engagement in, with and for their communities, our open schooling approach is unique in combining key pivotal elements of innovative constructivist pedagogy, teacher education, and transforming school organisational culture.
The COSMOS consortium (12 partners, 7 countries) provides transdisciplinary cooperation and expertise in non-formal and formal science education, science teacher education, educational organisation and leadership, and strong societal links within communities, all of which warrant the successful implementation of COSMOS. The resulting tools, policy briefs and roadmaps will be used by schools across Europe further impacting communities through science education.
The programme focused on the implementation of the SSIBL approach and open schooling structures. Participants worked partly in plenary but mostly in international and national teams and presented their experience from the 1st wave of implementation in the form of posters and then prepared specific ideas for the 2nd wave. The field trip to Prague school (Scio School Prague 6) was a part of the programme.
The feedback of participants was very positive, teachers highly appreciated the opportunity to discuss ideas and get inspiration for their own work at school.

Partners engaged in discussions regarding the developed framework, the implementation of the project approach in schools, evaluation results, and other related topics. The insights gained from these discussions were instrumental in formulating plans for the upcoming Implementation stage 2, which is set to commence shortly.
