3. Open Schooling is a key
approach promoted by the
European Commission to
promote cooperation
between schools with
scientists and local
communities.
for youth to solve real
problems.

4. There are 9 projects funded
by the European Comission
about “open schooling”
1. 2017-2020 OSOS
2. 2019-2022 SEAS
3. 2019-2022 PULCHRA
4. 2019-2022 PHERECLOS
5. 2019-2022 OSHub
6. 2020-2023 SALL
7. 2020-2023 MOST
8. 2020-2023 Make it Open
9. 2020-2023 CONNECT

5. “Schools, in cooperation with other stakeholders,
become an agent of community well-being;
Families are encouraged to become real
partners in school life and activities;
Professionals from enterprise, civil and wider society
are actively involved in bringing real-life projects into
the classroom.”
The term “open schooling” emerged in this report (Ryan et. al, 2015)
Europe Commission’s goal is to increase uptake
of science studies and science-based careers
to improve employability and competitiveness.

6. The approach “open schooling” is not new …

7. There are also various studies related to ”open schooling” in the literature

8. There are also various initatives beyond the European-funded projects…

9. Open Schooling
Inclusive
Engaging
Future-oriented

10. Our aim is to help schools
improve students’ learning
through science-actions in
the core-curriculum and
open scenarios with
participatory science.

11. SCIENCE-ACTION helps students learn science
and use their knowledge, skills and attitude
to benefit their lives, their community and society

12. Families, local community,
universities and enterprises
contribute to increase
students’ aspirations in science
with school-life activities.

13. Structured scenarios: pre-defined
activities that schools can easily
customise to maximise the chance
of a successful first-time project
supported by scientists.
Open-ended scenarios: template
for schools and scientists to identify
their own issues and create
activities.

14. Real-world challenges
COVID-19 REWILDING CLIMATE CHANGE

15. Future-oriented support from a scientist
COVID-19 REWILDING CLIMATE CHANGE

16. Engaging family activities

17. Fun science-actions to apply science ideas
with strategies for learning skills
Think and Talk outside

18. Students and Scientists
are engaged with
a real-life issue
Students with Teacher
acquire knowledge
and skills in science
Students with Families
develop attitude for
participatory science-
