On Friday, 15^th of October 2021, Regional Directorate of Education of Western Greece celebrated this year’s ErasmusDays in an original, unconventional, out of the box way. RDEWG in collaboration with its Regional Center for Educational Planning, organised an interactive online discussion where stakeholders (parents, students, educators, coordinators of Educational Work, headmasters, policy makers) were free to interact based on the information included on the RDEWG’s digital wall, designed and created for the event. The event was entitled “Shuushhhhhh! The Wall is talking..and we are listening!” and the digital wall consisted of posts of different kinds of archives (mainly sound and video archives) being made by different interesting European projects within the Region of Western Greece in School Education and VET sector.

STEAMonEDU Program has been presented and discussed by Dr Spyridon Papadakis in discussion with Elena Sarlis and Sia Balomenou. STEAMonEdu gave a lot of food for thought around the educational approach to learning that uses Science (science), Technology (computer science), Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics as a starting point to guide students in research, dialogue and critical thinking through the interconnection of what students are taught in school with life involving students in the discovery and construction of their knowledge through an interdisciplinary approach. It also caused great reflection on the competences of the STE(A)M educators, their profile and the way STE(A)M approach can be implemented in the Greek Educational System in all levels of School Education taking into account other European education policies. Furthermore, all participants expressed their high interest in the results of the project as well as the next event which will take place as it was pre-announced by Spyros and will provide more hands on activities within the STE(A)M approach among other important topics.
