Or does the world of natural sciences seem distant, abstract, and \u201creserved\u201d for the classroom board?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>STEM workshops and educational activities within the project <em><strong>\u201cSailing into STEM Waters \u2013 A Map to 2030\u201d <\/strong><\/em>are thoughtfully scheduled throughout the year. Below is the overview for April 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does the project \u201cSailing into STEM Waters \u2013 A map to 2030\u201d offer?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you noticed the sea getting warmer and rivers more polluted? Faced with these challenges, we need knowledge, innovation, and practical solutions\u2014now more than ever\u2014solutions that often come from the natural sciences. But who will tackle these problems tomorrow if we don\u2019t show children today how exciting, useful, and important science can be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why we launched the project <em><strong>\u201cSailing into STEM Waters \u2013 A Map to 2030.\u201d<\/strong><\/em> Through educational workshops and public events, we aim to introduce children to natural sciences in a real and engaging way. We chose topics that matter to them: marine litter, eutrophication, coastal landfilling, ocean acidification&#8230; Sound serious? It is. But with the right approach, these topics become a playground for exploration, creativity, and discovering how small ideas can change the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, to share knowledge with children in a meaningful and inspiring way, we adults need to learn too. That\u2019s why the project also includes training for civil society organization representatives, study visits, collaboration with universities, and the exploration of new learning methods. Through these experiences, we\u2019re building a network of people and knowledge that makes STEM more accessible, creative, and relevant to real-world challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Events calendar: April 2025<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In April 2025, <strong>no educational workshops or public events are scheduled. <\/strong>Still, that doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re standing still. This month is dedicated to preparation, planning, and capacity-building so that we can offer a high-quality and diverse program in the weeks to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of May, we will publish a new monthly calendar with locations and workshop dates.
