Steaming into the Future, Online Symposium

STEAM education is increasingly recognised across Europe and the world as vital to shaping a balanced, stimulating and productive learning experience. By putting art and creativity to the heart of ‘STEM’ disciplines, this is supporting people of all ages to develop interpersonal, cognitive, creative and technical competencies and skills which facilitate strong learning outcomes in both attainment and achievement.

Cities that can pioneer STEAM activities, catapulting the arts and creativity to the heart of the education offer, are those which will lead on innovation, productivity and quality of life. Oulu, European Capital of Culture 2026, and Aveiro, candidate city to be European Capital of Culture 2027, are collaborating to establish knowledge leadership in STEAM.

This online event will bring to the surface emergent models, new learning, and reflections on the future, with professionals from Aveiro, Oulu and internationally, coming together to discuss how STEAM can become the norm as we recover from the Covid-19 pandemic and undergo a dynamic re-birth as a society that embraces the future.

Tom Fleming will facilitate the event, building in his role as adviser to both Oulu and Aveiro in their strategies to develop their cultural and creative economies.
