In late November, the Schools As Living Labs project participated in the OpenSciComm conference organised by the Center for the Promotion of Science in Belgrade, Serbia. Researchers, teachers, science engagement professionals, journalists, and even politicians got together to discuss the challenges and trends in STEAM education and science communication.

Engaging with stakeholders is at the heart of Open Schooling and even though teachers have extensive experience in building educational projects, reaching out and engaging with external partners is not something they are used to or comfortable with.
