Cluster 1 addresses ways to deal with sustainability in STEM education. The first session highlights the importance of sustainability and its educational value, especially through socio-scientific contexts. The second session covers inquiry-based approaches, guiding participants in re-designing closed tasks. The final session emphasizes argumentation and decision-making activities.
The cluster contains a cross-cluster guide along with three session presentations and an activity sheet.

About the ICSE Academy
The ICSE Academy is a currently running international project (2022-2025) that offers professional development for in-and pre-service STEM teachers. The project’s aim is to promote the European dimension and increase mobility and collaboration in STEM teacher education and training.
The project is coordinated by the International Centre for STEM Education (ICSE ) at the University of Education Freiburg and is a collaboration of higher education Institutions, policy-making organizations and schools across 13 European countries.
One of its main activities is the online european workshop series. The focus of this workshop series is bringing participants up to date in research and teaching in the STEM subjects in connection with European priorities such as fostering sustainability, digital skills and intercultural learning. A total of 4 clusters have been developed so far.
