Cultural heritage is a basic component of each country, as it includes all values from past to future. In other words is treasure through the years. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) included in many subjects in curriculum. In the digital era the Europeana DSI-4 project (http://fcl.eun.org/europeana-dsi4 ), implemented and supported by the European School Network (www.eun.org ) offered many opportunities for the integration the use of digital cultural heritage in teaching in STEM learning environments. Presentation of how STEM teachers could use Europeana collections for educational purposes in STEM classroom. Mostly it analyses the case study of teaching and learning geometrical concepts based on objects of collections of digital cultural heritage of Europeana (https://www.europeana.eu/en/collections).
Learning lines for geoSpatial thinking: GI Learner ProjectKarl Donert
Almost all aspects of our economy and society are based on geoinformation and geotechnologies. People are tracking, mapping and communicating geographically on an unprecedented scale. Citizens can be empowered by geospatial technologies and open geodata. The sector is booming, however there has been a clear mismatch between workforce demand and supply. Study programmes focus more on informatics than on the scientific background of spatial thinking.
This presentation seeks to introduce a newly EU funded project titled, GI-Learner: Developing a learning line on GIScience in school education. This project aims to support the introduction of GI Science in secondary (high school) education, by addressing policy developments and deliver materials with the capacity and capability to raise awareness of the GI sector, create a geospatially literate workforce and citizens who can benefit from these developments.

Geocapabilities3: teaching social justice, EUROGEO 2021 conference 22-23 Apr...Luc Zwartjes
The intention of GeoCapabilities 3 is to support teachers in developing their curriculum making capacity and in so doing enable them to engage with important curriculum questions such as what kinds of geographical knowledge are taught in schools, who decides and why, and what kinds of pedagogies are needed to teach powerful disciplinary knowledge (PDK) to students.
Social Justice is the concept that will underpin the work of the project. Whilst it is a concept that has been much examined in education more generally (Unterhalter and Brighouse, 2015), work pertaining to a socially just geography curriculum is limited. Weeden (2012) reports on significant inequalities in young people’s access to geography education in inner city communities in England.
GeoCapabilities 3 seeks to answer 2 main questions:
1. Is there a social justice dimension to GeoCapabilities? and:
2. How can a GeoCapabilities approach benefit schools (teachers/ pupils) in challenging (socio-economic) circumstances towards the goal of ‘powerful knowledge for all?

Abstract
The internationalization of higher education has provided extended opportunities for students to have international experiences such as student exchange programmes or overseas internships. This paper addresses how local and international students with diverse cultural background and different learning styles can have better channels of communication in learning, interacting and collaborating through the classroom and out-of-classroom settings with a blended approach to teaching and learning.
The eTwinning Project Volunteens Researchers’ in STEMLand is a project that is built around STEM topics
Volunteens Researchers in…STEMLand is an eTwinning Project with which we have managed, with collaborative STEM activities, our students to be able to: a) build problem solving skills b) discover how things work, c) explore engineering as a career option d) learn math and sciences while having fun e)engage in real world engineering problems. Digital teens researched how STEM implementation may help everyday life and discovered how they can support in volunteering based actions.
A panel of children's literacy and science education experts were on Capitol Hill to champion a new approach to STEM education that will make these critical disciplines more accessible to young people. Introducing The Curious Adventures of Sydney and Symon in: Water Wonders, a new STEM-meets-literacy resource for children ages 6-8, the National Writing Project, Reading Is Fundamental, and FableVision outlined the importance of their collaborative effort, and provided examples of how Water Wonders is currently being used in children's literacy programs nationwide.
The research explores the potential of incorporating science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education approach and critical thinking to enhance historical consciousness. The study employs an ex post facto quantitative method, specifically a correlational design to analyse the variables. The research population comprises 425 students from diverse backgrounds in Banten Province schools that have implemented the STEM approach. A sample size of 202 students is determined using a predefined error rate. Data collection involves tests and questionnaires assessing historical thinking skills, STEM approaches, and historical consciousness. Statistical analysis, including partial and simultaneous multiple correlation tests, reveals a significant and very strong positive relationship between STEM approach, historical thinking skills, and historical consciousness. This suggests that the interplay of these factors enhances history learning and encourages a deeper understanding of historical events, promoting critical thinking, and historical consciousness. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating STEM methodologies into history education to provide students with a holistic understanding of historical events and their societal implications. Such an approach bridges the gap between STEM and history, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and promoting informed and empathetic citizens. Future research should explore diverse samples, employ qualitative methods, and investigate curriculum designs and teaching strategies that effectively integrate STEM and history education.

Scientix conference in Greece 4.9 Workshop for Career Education to STEMPanagiota Argiri
Summary
The current anxiety about the importance of the STEM sector in the rapidly evolving society, as well as the need for skilled staff stemming from the so-called 'skills gap', make the role of the school crucial and decisive for the mobilization and orientation of the young people in STEM science careers. A brief overview from the international literature highlights the need for collaboration and connection between the secondary education and workplaces. In the first part of the workshop will be presented not only the innovative actions and the focus area of European Schoolnet , but also the recourses and projects of Scientix that support the educational community to prepare young people for STEM careers. In particular, will be presented very important initiatives Professional Go Back at School and Teacher Placements, which has developed by STEM Alliance to strengthen the co-operation between industry and schools. In addition, these initiatives are framed by the presentation of the results of STEM career events with the presence of professionals in the schools, as well as providing guidance to teachers, parents and business based on booklets and guides and on the digital tool (www.stemalliance.eu/pgbs_tool) to set up community partnerships for STEM counseling careers. In the second part of the workshop, appropriate structured questionnaires will be completed by the participants, with the main goal the syntax of methodological school plan strategies for the creation of STEM career guidance scenarios.
Webinar: Developing and Evaluating Skills for Creativity and Innovation Panagiota Argiri
An overview of the current supply and demand state for tertiary STEM graduates, in EU Member States, calls on governments and social partners to strengthen the linkages between education systems and the world of work. The purpose of this webinar is to present a review of initiatives of European co-funded projects (included in Scientix repository), with a set of guidelines and methodological tools, that aim to help to decrease the mismatch between education and labor market.
In particular, the framework and the outputs of the European project DESCI will be presented in the webinar.
The webinar analyzes the DESCI TOOLKITS and METHODOLOGIES that were developed based on the Living Lab approach, adopting participatory design methodologies, connecting school, enterprise, research and territory.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

offers great potential in terms of:
i) The increase and maintain motivation;
ii) the innovative interdisciplinary approaches;
iii) the European cultural dimension;
iv) achieving the transversal core competencies of lifelong
learning: learning for learning, social and political skills, a
sense of initiative and entrepreneurship, and cultural
awareness and expression "leading to" personal fulfillment,
active citizenship, social cohesion and employability in a
knowledge society.
Teaching and learning geometry in secondary education
Geometry is a key tool for connecting curriculum knowledge
with the real world. That we could perceive through intuition,
we are called to connect it with geometric rules and
formulate in mathematical language the imagined spatial
environment (Güven & Kosa, 2008).
Geometric representations can help students understand
other areas of mathematics, but also connect with other
areas of the curriculum (science, geography, art, design and
technology) (Argyri, 2013; Furner & Marinas, 2011; Alex & Mammen , 2012; Alex &
Mammen, 2016; Argyri, 2013; Argyri, 2014; Argyri, 2014; Argyri, 2015; Al-ebous, 2016;
Argyri, 2018).

Europeana as educational tool
• Europeana's mission is to transform the world with culture, unlock cultural heritage treasures
and make them available online so that all people can use them for recreational, professional
or educational purposes.
• The Europeana DSI-4 project (http://fcl.eun.org/europeana-dsi4), implemented and
supported by the European School Network (www.eun.org), aims to encourage teachers to
share their experience. And focus on three key aspects:
• 1) preserving cultural heritage and promoting a sense of European identity and culture,
• 2) providing more support to teachers and
• 3) promoting innovation in education in the digital age.

Research Questions
• Can the interdisciplinary approach of geometry and cultural heritage enhance
learning motivation in both fields of knowledge?
• Can the material objects of cultural heritage be didactic tools for the development
of geometrical reasoning and thinking, through the recognition of geometric properties
and the problem solving?
• Does the implementation of interdisciplinary approaches provide the development
of students’ 21st century skills?

Research scene
• The interdisciplinary methodological approach was implemented by hybrid model of learning
and teaching (Helms, 2014), as from March to May schools in Greece were closed due to the
global crisis from the Covid-19 pandemic.
• The content was adapted respectively to the curriculum of geometry of the two classes of
high school and specifically as a repetition of i) the properties of the quadrilaterals (rectangle,
rectangle, square, rhombus, trapezoid) and the theorems and propositions associated with
them (median orthogon triangle, a straight line joining the midpoints of the sides of a
triangle, a right triangle with an acute angle of 300, a median of a trapezoid) (ii) as recognition
of the axioms of stereometry.
• The reason for the interdisciplinary connection between geometry and cultural heritage is the
STEM Discovery Campaign titled ‘Innovative Trends in Education’ , organized by Scientix and it
had elements of inspiration from the learning scenarios included in the Europeana project .
• http://blogs.eun.org/teachwitheuropeana/learning-scenarios/
• https://teachwitheuropeana.eun.org/learning-scenarios/aesthetical-geometry-en-cur-156/
• The participants were about 20 students from the 1st grade and 10 students from the 2nd
grade of the Model High School Evangeliki School of Smyrna in Athens, Greece.

Analysis of students’ problems on the objects of cultural heritage
The problems above have been select of characteristic examples of the qualitative analysis
of students’ projects in which students
1) Investigate, analyze and justify the properties of the quadrilaterals through the critical
review of visual representations / art objects.
2) Utilize the experience and pre-existing knowledge for the formulation and solution of
geometric problems on the objects of art, based on the theorems and propositions of the
properties of the quadrilaterals.

• Two right triangles and tables are formed between
the scaffolding.
• The beam AB joins the middle of the 2 sides of the
red triangle and is therefore parallel to the third side and
equal to half of it.
• The light blue straight line segment (beam
extension) is the median drawn from the right angle of the
triangle and is equal to half of the hypotenuse.
• The distance of the center of gravity C, D from the
vertices of the triangles is 2/3 of the corresponding

The shape is a rectangular parallelepiped. of which each side
consists of 3 equal rectangles. The first rectangle contains
squares with side 2cm. While the second and third
rectangles contain circles with a radius of 1cm. The length of
each side of the rectangular parallelepiped is equal to 60cm.
If squares and circles are placed every 1 cm, find how many
squares and how many circles there are in total in the
rectangle? (assume that squares and circles start and end at
the edges of the rectangle)

Finally we could mention the development of students’ knowledge in an holistic model as:
Disciplinary knowledge: Basic concepts and properties that characterize the types of
quadrilaterals and the relationships between them
Interdisciplinary knowledge: Ability to transfer and recognize knowledge and problems in
the objects of digital cultural heritage through the different disciplinary lenses of
geometry and art.
Procedural knowledge: Understanding how problems and exercises for quadrilateral
properties are solved (sequence of steps or actions)

Conclusion
The interdisciplinary approach of geometry with digital cultural heritage based on Euopeana
collection in the framework of activity theory via distance learning provide the active and
constructive participation of students that require effective and flexible strategies, where they
set their own learning goals and correct their mistakes in an open learning environment.
