Ecsite is looking for an individual consultant or a company to work with us in producing four (4) two-minute animated videos for the EU-funded project STEAM Learning Ecologies.

STE(A)M Learning Ecologies (SLEs) is an EU-funded project (Horizon Europe) developing engaging open schooling-enabled science learning paths for all in learning continuums focusing on inclusiveness. The project highlights the necessary conditions for bringing together all formal, non-formal and informal education actors, as well as enterprises and the civil society and giving all space and motivation to take initiative and central roles.

We see this animation videos illustrating how the different stakeholders interact in a Learning Ecology.

A Learning Ecology is the physical, social, and cultural context in which learning takes place. Like natural ecosystems, learning ecologies have physical dimensions, which may include easy access to nature, science museums or advanced science programmes and internships. However, we are less used to thinking about the sociocultural dimensions of learning ecologies. Robust science learning ecologies, like their counterparts in nature, are characterised by diversity and local adaptations. A robust science learning ecology contains a variety of programmes, across institutions and places, allowing students different and multiple ways to engage with science in the form of a learning continuum
