Formation of 10 international teams of partner teachers who will collaborate to develop 10 innovative digital lessons in STEAM presented at a conference. Creation of an online educational web page for STEAM teaching and learning resources.
More than 46 teachers are trained to practice innovative and transdisciplinary teaching and will work in international teams to identify successful strategies and techniques in the teaching process of science. They will create innovative lessons and test them in their schools. The new teaching approaches and techniques will be transferred to the teacher team at every partner school through workshops.

The partnerships between Bulgarian, Norwegian, Portuguese, and Estonian schools started in eTwinning. The team was created in 2010 by Natasha Dzhurkova, a psychologist at SU "Ekzarh Antim I". From 2010 to 2017, the team implemented seven projects and created 7 e-books.
Two of the projects, "Intercultural Dialogue through Fairy Tales, Theater and Art" and "Young Scientists", stand out with their special awards: "Mevlana" - for intercultural understanding in 2013 and "Maria Skłodowska Curie" - in 2016.
"Steam Innovative Teaching in the Digital Era" is their first team event under the Erasmus+ program. On the project, the coordinators worked with 12 more teachers from the participating institutions.
"All of us who had a role in this project are proud of the results achieved, we are happy with the strength of the lasting friendship created and we are convinced that the lessons published in this booklet will be used in the future in our partner schools as well as we hope that they will be used in other European schools."
